I’ve always heard that the ballerina is the greatest athlete in the world, and the Faction Dancer 3X embraces this identity.

The Fischer Ranger 102 is a perfect pair of planks for an intermediate to advanced skier who’s looking to ski sunny resort laps with the family in any type of snow conditions.

The completely redesigned Fischer Ranger 96 is a playful ski that’s ready, willing and able to tackle a variety of snow conditions.

In the midst of a mid-winter drought across British Columbia, the Fischer Ranger 90 proved to be an ideal ski for low-tide conditions.

If an all-wheel drive Ferrari and a CF-18 Hornet fighter jet had a baby, it would be the Head Kore 111.

As the lightest and stiffest-feeling ski I tried, the Head Kore 105 was like the Toyota 4Runner of the test for me.

The Head Kore 97 W is an extremely adaptable ski that performed well in any and all conditions.

Having never tried a ski from Line before, I wasn’t sure what to expect when I clicked into the Blade Optic 104 for the first time. Its top sheet graphic has a rally car-like look to it, and that’s not where the similarities end.

I was both curious and excited to try this ski, because I’ve owned its wider counterpart, the Vision 108, for a few years now. And to my delight, but not surprise, it didn’t disappoint.

The Line Pandora 94 is a versatile and user-friendly ski that would be ideal for a beginner or intermediate female skier who’s looking for a pair of planks that will help progress her abilities to a more adventurous level.

The Nordica Unleashed 108 is like Thanksgiving dinner, with all the fixings.

The all-new Nordica Unleashed 98 W is an unbelievably fun ski that excelled in all types of terrain.

The Nordica Santa Ana Unlimited 93 is an all-mountain explorer. An out-of-bounds kind of gal.

The Rossignol Blackops 118 is a coveted freeride pow ski. I have a pair in my personal quiver, and look for any and every excuse to take it out.

The Rossignol Sender 106 Ti is the daily driver of a ski I have been seeking for years. No gimmicks, no funny business.

The first thing I noticed, and enjoyed the most, about the all-mountain charger that is the Rossignol Rallybird 104 Ti was how fast it could ski.

I had the privilege of skiing the Salomon QST Blank in a variety of conditions, which was great, because that really is the best way to showcase this ski’s multi-faceted abilities.

The Salomon QST 98 is a lightweight, manoeuvrable and reliable all-mountain ski that excelled in a wide variety of terrain and conditions.

The more I think about the Salomon QST Stella 106, the more I want to compare her to the “good time gal.”

With more and more people heading out into the backcountry, and advancements in equipment making it that much easier to do so, Scott has built a user-friendly ski for those starting to venture off the beaten track.

I wasn’t sure what to expect when I dropped into my first run on this noticeably stiff ski: a rained-on, re-frozen, skating rink of a groomer. But to my surprise and delight, not only did it hook up—it cut in like a scalpel.

The Scott Pure Mission 98 Ti W is a lightweight, multi-faceted ski that was enjoyably stable, reliable and versatile in all types of conditions both in and out-of-bounds, regardless of how challenging they were.

The Blizzard Rustler 11 was a great daily driver for my home hill of Revelstoke Mountain Resort: stiff, powerful and ready for anything from debris to 45-degree steeps.

I liked that this ski knows what it is. Blizzard bills the Bonafide 97 as a do-all ski, but in reality it has pretty specific tastes, and is pretty blunt about it.

The Blizzard Sheeva 10 is the Rustler's little sister, with all the family resemblance, but without the 20-year-old boy meathead mentality.

Fresh off of announcing the virtual and in-person schedule of events for the 14th edition of the iF3 Festival, which will take...

Calling all skiers and snowboarders in and around Montreal, Whistler and all over the world… the 14th edition of the iF3 Festival...

Now this here is a true all-mountain ski. The Dynastar M-Free 108 is ideal for the type of skier who has transitioned from riding park to big mountain, and is looking to send it all over the hill and make use of the mountain from top to bottom.

I don’t believe in the concept of a one-ski quiver, but Dynastar’s M-Free 99 comes damn close. It not only did everything, it kicked ass while doing it.

Singing to myself, grinning ear-to-ear, and stoke levels to the moon. The Dynastar M-Pro 99 W is a crowd favourite, and it was easy to see why the moment I clicked into it.

Sleek and powerful like a panther, classy like a stretch limo on prom night, technologically advanced like the Tesla you’ll never afford. Elan’s Ripstick 106 Black Edition expects, no, demands a high caliber skier to make it perform.

Since rockered fat skis first arrived on the scene, I’ll admit that I’ve shied away from skinnier offerings. Whether it was mind over matter, I felt unstable and unconfident on anything narrower than 95 millimetres underfoot, and preferred utilizing a wider plank to bash my way to the bottom.

The Elan Wildcat 86 CX is a fun, playful ski that thrives on groomers and mellow off-piste terrain. Elan advertises it as an all-mountain ski, but it definitely shined brightest on the frontside.

If the Faction Agent 3.0 was a planet, it would sit perfectly within the Goldilocks zone; everything about this ski felt just right.

Faction’s Dictator 2.0 is a no-nonsense ski, plain and simple.

The Faction Prodigy 2.0X bridges the gap between an all-mountain ripper and a playful park ski.

Riding the Fischer Ranger 102 allowed me to feel free while skiing all over the mountain. Its flatter camber profile felt familiar to me, and matched my skiing style very well.

Fischer has a long history in skiing, and throughout that time the company has always stuck to the core principles of what makes a ski work—that's certainly the case here.

The Fischer RC One GT 86 does exactly what it’s designed to do: serve as a stable rocket ship on piste.

Riding the Head Kore 105 was an extremely invigorating experience. This ski was light, responsive and very quick edge to edge.

There’s very little that the Head Kore 93 can’t do. It’s intuitive, versatile, lively but not twitchy, and easy to ski and control at low or high speeds.

The Head Kore 97 W was an enjoyably reliable ski. It was fun, stable and easy to initiate turns on groomers, and for a ski under 100 millimetres in the waist, I was surprisingly impressed by it off piste.

The K2 Mindbender 108Ti is all business. For an advanced skier who’s looking for a firm, durable and agile ski that loves big, fast turns in open terrain, and really shines in 10 to 15 centimetres of compact or hero snow, look no further.

After spending the past few years skiing on stiffer, flat-tailed, directional warhorses, my aging back and knees were pushing me in the direction of something more frolicsome.

K2’s Mindbender 106C W Alliance is a ski that promotes skiing. I got to the bottom of my first run and realized I hadn’t overthought any of the turns it took to get there.

The Vision Quest Continues at Mount Baker. Watch freeride meet freestyle as heavy-hitters Jonnie Merrill, Jake Hopfinger and LJ Strenio join forces...

Do you see the whole mountain as your playground? Whether you’re a young park rat looking to take your skills away from manicured jumps, or a mature skier wishing to reignite your forgotten youthful side, the Line Vision 108 is for you.

There’s no other ski in existence quite like the Line Blade. At 154 millimetres in the tip, its shovel is wider than most full-blown powder skis, but at only 95 millimetres underfoot, it skied as uniquely as it looks.

The Line Pandora 94 was like the Robin to my Batman. I was in charge; able to call the shots, pick the runs and set the speed, and this ski was along for the ride as an ideal sidekick.

K2 Sports has announced plans to integrate the Full Tilt collection of boots into the K2 product line, to further innovate for...

I really loved the overall stability of the Nordica Enforcer 104 across all types of conditions.

Of all the skis I tested, the Nordica Enforcer 94 was the top ticket to untethered speed and performance.

Remember in school when they said you can get addicted the first time you try drugs? This was the first ski I tested, and I could never get as high again.

Nothing has changed. Level 1 Productions, in partnership with 686 and Rossignol, presents Nothing New, another snow riding experience featuring Parker White,...

Rossignol’s Blackops Sender Ti was everything and more that I look for in a ski.

The Rossignol Blackops Holyshred is a perfect stepping stone of a ski for any intermediate skier who’s looking to develop into a bonafide all mountain rider.

Call your lady shred posse! The Rossignol Blackops Rallybird is here to get the girls out and shred any big or pretty little line their hearts desire.

If I were to describe the Salomon QST Blank in a word, it would be versatile.

If I had to own only one ski, the Salomon QST 98 might just be it.

The Salomon QST Stella 106 is a great ski to get your powder legs on, and will help take an intermediate skier to the next level.

I would take this ski out on my biggest backcountry missions.

At first glance, the Scott Superguide 95 has an aura of conservativeness to it. But don’t be fooled by its cover, because it’s so much more.

The Scott Superguide 95 Women’s could lay claim to the one-ski-quiver title.
