Available in two variants, a “reversed camber”, the RC, or a traditional flex pattern.
The RC is my choice and the most modern in their conception. Rockering makes a ski easier to get around, more versatile and the effective shorter running length on firm snow makes life easier - with skis at 126 mm at [...]

Big, 136 - 107 - 136 and available in a 183 or 191 length. If these figures don’t mean much to you then you should be looking elsewhere, this is a ski about dimensions. Apt to take on the biggest back-country hucks and the freshest, deepest of tracks, the Teddy Bare is [...]

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 [...]

Fantastic, I love this graphic, they look sublime in the flesh and you really do just want to hop on and go for a ride. The Big Daddy remain atop of the freeride pile Chez Atomic. With a meaty 125 mm waist this is a big ski for big powder days. [...]
