Large “universal shredders.” Amplid’s kinda “all-mountain” ski for girls. Stylish and certainly aimed at freeskiing but I think you’d definitely be happier in the back-country with these babies opposed to attempting to “shred” a line on firm East Coast boiler-plate or European ice early in the season. A great ski for the [...]

The flagship freestyle model from Amplid. Funky urban graphics, solid construction and a wide, 84 mm platform to stomp the rails whether on snow or at your local “Mall” - thankfully we don’t have too much of the later in Europe just yet!
If rumbling around the Park is your thing then the [...]

Lightweight = agility and less fatigue. Shedding the pounds is what Amplid aimed to do with the Infradark. Adding the pounds is what it did to the price though, this pair of skis is coming in at an incredible £700 or €859 a pair!! And that is a lot of money [...]

Not having tested this ski but having taken a seat when regarding the price I hope this is one hell of a ski. It looks the part, the finish of the Infrapearl is gorgeous and the dimensions are perfect for the expert female skier who spends her days ripping up the back-country. [...]

Stiffer, more focused and built for speed - well in freestyle! Which for someone of my years, I was born in the ’70’s (the horror, the horror) strikes the fear of someones God into me. So when Amplid say their pro-riders are looking at hitting kickers at 50 mph I will leave [...]

Cool graphics and inspired construction give you a very focused freestyle ride in the Antidogma. Although the dimensions may lead you to think of a decent, if modern, freeride/freeski, the Antidogma is built pretty much for kicker-tastic days in the back-country or park.86 mm is plenty for stomping landing in or out of [...]

Very funky and very attractive, even alluring. Maybe some of the more established manufacturers need to wake up to Amplid fresh designs and purposeful constructions. The Allure may be aimed squarely at female riders but this ain’t a pussy of a ski, this is a full-blown park animal with every bit of [...]

My favourite amongst the Atomic freestyle range - this is a ski you can use for “Free-skiing” as much as for pure freestyle moves. With a 103 waist they are not too large that they feel unwieldy and you can use them happily on softer and variable terrain as a real hack ski [...]

Female specific big-mountain skis with that ever-feminine of adornments, a “leather embossed” top-sheet! In fact the Heaven ‘n Hell is quite a pleasing ski on the eye, guess all skiers, and especially women, do get bored of some of the marketing crap out there.
Anyhow, to the snow where this ski belongs. [...]
