Head Worldcup Rebels i.SL RD 2018

Skier Height:5’7”
Skier Weight:200
Skier Ability:advanced - expert
Ski length Tested:165

Ski Review:I recently purchased this ski and was skeptical that it was as good as what I was being told, keep in mind this is my front side only ski, and I do not use it off groomed or hard packed terrain.

The ski is so quick to edge it is amazing, you think...

Fischer RC4 The Curv 2018

Skier Height:6’1”
Skier Weight:195
Skier Ability:Expert
Ski length Tested:178, 185

Ski Review:  Great ski.  I’m looking to replace my old Voelkl Super-Six’s with a front side cruiser and these fit the bill (in the longer length).  I found high speed stability to be solid, turn initiation and carving hold good to great, and they were pretty quiet...

4FRNT MSP 2018

Skier Height: 5 foot 10
Skier Weight: 70kg
Skier Ability: Expert (ski instructor)
Ski length Tested: 176

Ski Review:

Hassle free at the front, so much so you forget they are there. Engage the tails, and 4FRNT’s MSP can punch you in the face a little. Or a lot. Reminding intermediate skiers that skiing is front to back as well as side to side...

Elan Inspire Fusion 2016

Skier Height: 5’5”
Skier Weight: 138
Skier Ability: Advanced
Ski length Tested: 158

Ski Review:
This ski holds on everything and anything - particularly wonderful when skiing ice or hardpack.  However, it is quite heavy - technology has changed even since 2016 and skis have gotten lighter but stayed stable recently.  This ski is a tank.  You can...

Black Crows Nocta 2018

Skier Height: 5’11
Skier Weight: 180
Skier Ability: Intermediate/expert
Ski length Tested: 181

Ski Review: I’m hesitant to start a review for a pair of skis that are 122 underfoot by talking about how they perform on the groomers or at slow speeds. However, they ski as you would expect them to. They aren’t by any means slow, but you...

Dynastar Cham 107 2013

Dynastar’s new Cham series represents as much of a wholesale change to a skiing range as you could get without significant deviation or turning them all into fully rockered banana skis so I was very keen to give Dynastar’s Cham 107 a go.

Armada ARV 2012

The all mountain twin space is massively competitive, with all the dedicated freeride and freestyle brands now battling it out with the mainstream manufacturers. Can the Armada ARV compete?

Rossignol S7 2012

My ad: 5’10” 185lbs West coast skier desperately seeking a one ski quiver for killing it all.

The response? The Rossignol S7 in a 188. Ten of them.

Rossignol Experience 98 2012

Rossignol’s Experience 98 is an off piste biased all mountain charger with more than the odd surprise up it’s sleeve.

Rossignol Sickle 2012

The Sickle has seen a few incarnations and name changes in recent years (Scratch Steeze, S6), but it’s starting to come up even more so than Rossignol’s uber successful S7 series. What gives?
