THE most specific park ski in Armada’s formidable free-skiing line-up.
Aimed at the expert to pro, the Pipe Cleaner shares the same dimensions as the T-Hall model but the core is lighter than the Core 1 featured on the T-Hall pro-model. Also the base is slicker and this ski has Armada’s finest finish for [...]

Re-developed for 2009 the ARVw is a ladies (girls) version of the highly-versatile and recommended ARV skis. The main difference is in the newly developed, lighter core which is stuffed with “high density, low weight woods” for great performance, less fatigue and good durability.
Check out the ARV review for further details.
The manufacturer says [...]

Built with a Composite sandwich construction for lightweight but good performance the G2 is the second ski in Blizzard’s new G-Force line-up. Still with a 70 mm waist and 15 m radius this is a ski happiest cruising around groomed runs - European reds and blacks will pose no problem at moderate speeds [...]

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 [...]

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. [...]

Lighter, easier and tamer, think of a Labrador! The “Bluemoon” is not some dubious den of disrepute but a very easy-going pair of intermediate skis. With a 72 mm sidecut this ski allows the beginner to progress into carving a ski and also controlling their speed on steeper or tougher slopes.Very [...]

A great ski that begins to pack a punch to interest the aggressive advanced skier or expert looking for a cruise. With 79 mm under-foot you can head pretty much anywhere - great for spring snow, fair int he bumps and adept in fresh powder, as long as it is not up to [...]

Top of the Atomic’s Nomad range. The Nomad’s are thoroughly versatile skis and the Crimson Ti doesn’t disappoint with its 86 mm waist and all-purpose medium-radius side-cut.
The latest model felt much more powerful than the original Crimson and I was surprised how aggressive one can ski on the Crimson Ti. This in [...]
