The Wayback 84 bucks the trend of expensive BC skis. It keeps things simple and is all the better for it. A Paulownia Tour Lite wood core keeps the weight down and still provides the right amount of strength and liveliness. All Terrain Rocker uses camber underfoot for grip with a low, gradual tip rocker for smooth handling, and a short, low rise in the tail to boost control. Use it for fitness laps on the local hill or making your first moves in the backcountry, the Wayback 84 won’t break the bank or let you down.Terrain Type & Ability LevelTerrain Type This could be a in-resort fitness lap option or a softer-flexing choice for the first journeys away from the piste map. The very hardest snow on steeper terrain or the deepest condition may trouble it, but everything else will not cause the slightest problem for this easy to use BC option.Skier TypeThe Wayback 84 might be a first BC ski at a very competitive price or maybe a great option for a lighter ski that doesn’t want a stiff model. There’s no metal or carbon fibre so it is at the softer flex of the range within BC skis, which is great for boosting confidence and starting to explore more of the mountain.OverviewShapeA fairly traditional shape for an all terrain ski, with some length to the tip and tail but not too much. This ensures the ski is smooth and easy to turn in softer and variable snow but has enough precision for firmer conditions. 84 in the waist with a 20m radius in 174cm provides stability in a range of snow except the deepest days.RockerAll Terrain Rocker skis have a gradual rise to the tip for great versatility in all conditions, with a short, low rise in the tail for added control in variable snow.CorePaulownia Tour Lite, a lively, flexible wood with excellent weight to strength ratio.ConstructionCap construction keeps the weight down, durability up and makes sure the ski has the right amount of forgiveness.Key FeaturesSnophobic TopsheetTopsheet material that helps eliminate snow build up while touring up and riding down, saving you from carrying the excess weight of snow stuck to the skis surface.Size (cm)Tip Width (mm)Waist Width (mm)Tail Width (mm)Radius (m)Weight (g)1461188410613.211241531188410614.711241601188410616.311681671188410617.812121741188410619.81287General InformationSkier Ability: Intermediate|AdvancedRocker: Tip/Tail RockerRadius: MediumBindings: Ski sold flatDIN: n/aCore: WoodDemo: No [Full Details]

The Redster Q4 is all about inspiring confidence and boosting skills for intermediate skiers. The piste is its natural home and whatever the conditions it remains unfazed thanks to a Multi Radius Sidecut and the 77mm waist. Along with the composite wood core and Ti Stabilizer this means it is as happy practising short radius turns onTerrain Type & Ability LevelTerrain Type The Redster Q can trace its DNA straight to Atomic's World Cup winning Redster program, so you know that it will be completely at home on pistes and firm snow. The wider waist means that it's a happy to explore a little and is more than capable of handling whatever conditions you find skiing from open to close. It excels on firm morning corduroy, slashes through chop and handles slush with aplomb, whether cruising greens and blues or pushing it on reds.Skier TypeThe Q4 is the ideal ski for intermediates who want to progress on piste whatever the conditions.

Armada Locator 96 is an all-terrain ski that expertly walks the fine line of lightweight and performance, equally capable of fast, smooth turns in fresh pow as it is biting hard snow and jumping turns down tight couloirs. The caruba wood core has the uphill feel that you demand and the power needed for descending when the conditions are trickier. AR75 Sidewall enhances this with sidewall underfoot for grip and precision, and cap at the tip and tail to save weight. Tip taper and nose rocker combine for easy control whatever the snow and positive camber through the middle and flat tail ensure edge hold and clean turns.Terrain Type & Ability LevelThe 96 will tackle anything the mountain has to offer, that's the beauty of a 96mm waist and a high-quality approach to materials. This could be billy-goating down no fall zones or long tours to find the epic descents of GS turns on untouched powder. It'll even happily cruise the groomers, but it's the variety of skiing off piste that it is built for.Skier TypeSkiers who want to experience everything on the mountain and who are going to tour to reach the best descents. Whilst it is advanced and expert skiers who will get the benefits of the shape and construction, good intermediates that want edge grip will enjoy the ski too.OverviewShape96mm in the waist is an ideal size for an all-condition BC ski, wide enough to float when it's deeper, not so big that might add extra weight. A radius of 21m in the 178cm boosts the stability required to ski any terrain. Lots of tip taper works with the nose rocker for easy handling; the flatter, longer tail improves the edge grip.RockereST Freeride Rocker. Forebody rocker and extra tip taper combine for optimized float in the soft stuff. Positive camber under foot with no tail rocker ensures edge hold so skis stay on rails when carving is the priority.CoreCaruba core. Armada's lightest wood core material creates the best uphill feel while retaining the power and damping characteristics required for descending the gnarliest terrain. This core makes no performance concessions in its quest to be ultra-light.ConstructionAR75 Sidewall. Sidewall on 75% of the ski to allow for weight savings on tip and tail while maintaining rigidity and drive in the prime zone. Below the binding, a sandwich of rubber and Titanal works to reduce vibration that otherwise chatters into your boots and shortens your day. A carbon reinforcement is used to provide excellent energy rebound.Key FeaturesS7 BaseA sintered base optimized for speed, durability and wax retention.1.7 Lightweight edgeeB tester’s comments: Alex (Braehead) No ski that light has ever given me such a fun skiing experience. If you want a well-balanced freetour ski look no further, they can rip the line you've scouted in whatever way you choose to. They can do it all and it's easy to ski them as fast or slow as you choose, they won't complain even a little.Size (cm)Tip Width (mm)Waist Width (mm)Tail Width (mm)Radius (m)Weight (g)1711269611620178127961172113501851289611822General InformationSkier Ability: Intermediate|Advanced|expertRocker: Tip RockerRadius: LongBase: SinteredBindings: Ski sold flatDIN: n/aConstruction: Semi SidewallCore: Wood, Carbon, Titanal LaminateDemo: No [Full Details]

The Black Pearl has won our women's Overall Ski of the Year on multiple occassions and is considered to be the best-selling ski in the world, the model every brand aspires to. It's an all condition ski that is truly happy anywhere on the mountain, from smooth pistes to tricky off-piste runs, care-free cruising to fast, technical turns. The Flipcore WSD construction is the key, producing perfect handling and balance, boosting confidence and encouraging skiers to keep pushing themselves.Terrain Type & Ability LevelTerrain Type everywhere on the mountain, including lots of time on firm snow and pistes where its solid construction of wood core and carbon fibre, shines. In all the mixed conditions and tricky snow, the balance and impeccable handling make it the standout ski in the category. At 88mm underfoot isn't the choice for someone who dreams of maximum float on bottomless powder, but it is the right choice for proper all mountain skiers, who recognise that too much width can be a hinderance away from deep snow. It also makes a surprisingly good choice for skiers who stay mainly on piste and will happily trade all-out piste perfomance for maxium stability and comfort whatever the snow.Skier TypeThis is one of the areas that makes the Black Pearl 88 such a special ski over all the previous seasons. It feels so good to a vast range of skiers from intermediates who want more confidence, to stronger advanced skiers who are already skiing the whole mountain comfortably. This universal appeal is the sign of a great ski.OverviewShape88mm in the waist works for a variety of terrain. It makes the most of the construction so that it rips on hard snow and packed pistes, yet it has enough width and the tip and tail rocker to provide excellent stability in softer and mixed conditions. The turn radius of 15m (165cm) it's ideal for all terrain use, long enough to feel balanced without losing the ability to carve tighter turns when required.RockerBlizzard's Rocker/Camber/Rocker uses specifically designed rocker in the tip and tail with camber underfoot. The camber increases the carving character on groomed trails while the rocker at the extremities maintains floatation and ease of turning off the slopes.CoreLite Core is a wood core that is naturally strong but lightweight for maximum performance without added weight. A carbon layer adds stability keeping the overall weight less than similar models using metal sheets. The new TrueBlend W.S.D. design keeps it feeling powerful underfoot as well as smooth and controllable at the tip and tail.ConstructionSandwich Compound Sidewall uses the tried and tested traditional method for the best performance. This means layers to build the impressive core, with sidewalls to produce the grip and precision that a ski like this requires. The top sheet has a rounded finish to protect the surface of the ski from scratches.Key FeaturesTrueBlend W.S.D.TrueBlend W.S.D. (Women's Specific Design) uses an exclusive blend of woods to provide 3 areas of density, meaning Blizzard can control the flex precisely through the whole length of the ski. The result is the same natural and dynamic flex for all sizes. For the skier it means more relaxed handling, better balance and precise control. To achieve this complex wood core structure required new production and manufacturing techniques. Using different types of wood makes it possible to modify the characteristics of the ski right at the core. For example, a ski should be stiffer in the area under the binding and softer towards the ski tips. This is why Blizzard builds the wood core with very small pieces of wood that are glued lengthwise. In the area of the binding, layers of harder wood are incorporated and softer, lighter wood is used towards the tip and tail. This elaborate construction gives the core different areas of stiffness with precisely adjusted flex properties, which creates a more harmonious ride.Carbon Flipcore W.S.D.Built specifically for the women's models this method offers the perfect blend of light weight and high performance.

The Brahma 88 was the ellis Brigham Overall Ski of the Year last season and the only change for this year is a grahic update. 2 years ago it went through a major upgrade with a tweak to the shape and, more importantly, the addition of TrueBlend construction, elevating the performance to a new level. It's got all the power, grip and precision you'd expect, and the changes provide even better handling, with the initiation and completion phases becoming smoother and more intuitive; perfect improvements for skiing all conditions. It is oone of the finest examples of an all mountain ski on the market.Terrain Type & Ability LevelTerrain Type everywhere on the mountain, including lots of time on firm snow and pistes where its solid construction of wood core, twin Titanal sheets and carbon fibre, shines. In all the mixed conditions and tricky snow, the balance and impeccable handling make it a standout ski in the category. At 88mm underfoot it isn't the right choice for someone who dreams of maximum float on bottomless powder, but it is the right choice for proper all mountain skiers, who recognise that too much width can be a hinderance away from deep snow. The Brahma does actually ski softer snow suprisingly well compared to similar stiffer all mountain skis.Skier TypeThe Brahma 88 is a top choice for adventurous expert and advanced skiers, who like to go everywhere on the mountain and appreciate a ski with good grip and plenty of power. They'll already be skilled, though not necessarily great in all snow conditions, and will enjoy some speed.OverviewShape88mm in the waist works for a variety of terrain. It makes the most of the firm construction so that it rips on hard snow and packed pistes, yet it has enough width and the tip and tail rocker to provide excellent stability in softer and mixed conditions. At 17.5m (183cm) it's ideal for all terrain use, long enough to feel balanced without losing the ability to carve tighter turns when required.RockerBlizzard's Rocker/Camber/Rocker uses specifically designed rocker in the tip and tail with camber underfoot. The camber increases the carving character on groomed trails while the rocker at the extremities maintains floatation and ease of turning off the slopes.CoreWood core with twin Titanal sheets running full length and bi-directional carbon in the tips and tails. The core is made using a method called TrueBlend (more on this below). The wood ensures good durability and liveliness, the metal stabilises the ski and the carbon reinforces the rocker for better precision.ConstructionSandwich Compound Sidewall uses the tried and tested traditional method for the best performance. This means layers to build the impressive core, with sidewalls to produce the grip and precision that a ski like this requires. The top sheet has a rounded finish to protect the surface of the ski from scratches.Key FeaturesTrueBlendTrueBlend uses an exclusive blend of woods to provide 3 areas of density, meaning Blizzard can control the flex precisely through the whole length of the ski. The result is the same natural and dynamic flex for all sizes. For the skier it means more relaxed handling, better balance and precise control. To achieve this complex wood core structure required new production and manufacturing techniques. Using different types of wood makes it possible to modify the characteristics of the ski right at the core. For example, a ski should be stiffer in the area under the binding and softer towards the ski tips. This is why Blizzard builds the wood core with very small pieces of wood that are glued lengthwise.

The latest Blizzard Zero G 95 takes everything good about the old model and builds on it to make what is possibly the most versatile touring and freeskiing model you will find. The Carbon Drive 3.0 has been tweaked to create slightly less rigidity in the tip and tail to improve control, without affecting stability or weight which was already at the lighter end of the scale for this width of ski. Downhill performance still comfortably matches or beats its competitors. Tip and tail rocker and a 95mm waist ensure all conditions are dealt with equally well. Carbon Reinforcement and a light paulownia wood core create a responsive, precise feel without being heavy.Terrain Type & Ability LevelTerrain Type everything that you can climb up to, from flowing powder fields to steep, icy technical descents. 95mm in the waist is a good all-rounder, tip and tail rocker suits firm or soft snow and the Carbon Drive 3.0 Construction offers precision for firm conditions without over stiffening the ski. It really is at home all over the mountain.Skier TypeGood all condition skiers who demand the very best downhill performance from a lightweight model. This the ski that has been to the top of Lhotse in the Himalayas and skied an epic couloir back down. It’s not going to disappoint.OverviewShapeA directional shape with tip and tail rocker means predictable handling in any condition. 95mm in the waist is narrow enough to remain nimble and quick edge-to-edge and there’s plenty of width when you do find softer or deeper snow and want some width underfoot. The 22m radius (178cm) sounds long and does provide a super stable feel, helping the ski track cleanly whatever the snow condition, but thanks to tip and tail rocker the ski is super easy to manoeuvre too.RockerPro Tip and Tail Rocker ensures smooth turning with effortless initiation and hassle-free release whatever the conditions.
