Not always the ski, but who's skiing it!

I loved the OG 189 Repost Searchbars. So easy to ski, people didn't even think twice.

For park, KLINT had some rockered park skis that were some of the most fun ive ever rode. Line Step-ups were a blast, too. Easily the most fun jump I have rode.

my current all-mountain setup (184 Devastators) take the cake, though. can literally ski anything under the sun on them and have a blast doing so. Really excited to test out my YLE's when they come in October, 4FRNT runs a grade A operation.

In this thread: People who have owned 3 pairs of skis name the latest of them.

That said, 4FRNT Devastator was very very good, as was the 2016 Atomic Automatic 109.

2010 Blends, really hoping somehow last forever because I don't want to be forced to ride any other park ski.

Nordica Ace of spades ti. Park ski built like a race ski. Haul so much ass and they felt confidence inspiring on ice coast half pipes.

Amplid Syntaxes, so far the best ski I've ever ridden, stiff, stable, super responsive, non-existent swing weight, perfect if you love to charge hard and fast, and go massive, and somehow all of this performance without sacrificing durability, and hold up surprisingly well outside the park and even in a few cm of fresh pow or slush, although considering after a year's worth of hard abuse they're still stiffer than a brand new set of Walls I doubt many people would share my point of view

Picked up some SkiLogik Rockstars 188 on pro form for a good price. 117 underfoot is pretty wide and its really an off piste soft snow specific ski, but I've never ridden anything like it. It's really got some unique features that make it preform differently than any other ski. Wooden sidewalls and top sheet make the dampening some next level shit. The carbon fiber has absurd energy to it. For reference, I've tried kitten factory's and they felt much less responsive and energetic in my opinion. But the rockstars have a 14m sidecut (which is crazy short) so they're super quick and maybe this really highlights the carbon fiber more than something like the kitten factory's. I rode them at wolf creek in almost 4 feet of snow and I'm pretty sure I achieved enlightenment with these bad bitches on my feet. Sent a 40 footer, biggest drop of my life, and rode away like a boss. The snow had everything to do with it but these skis are what made that day so epic.

I love my AR7s. I guess its all about what you mainly ski but for me, the ar7 crushes the Poconos icy conditions in and out of the park.


just bought a 2012 SFB for vermont/Colorado i hear a lot of people say this is an all time great ski, but haven't gotten a chance to ski it yet.

Dynastar Legend Pro 105's, nothing but nothing stands in their way on or off piste. Its also really funny to carve past people on GS skis on a pair of skis nearly twice the width.

Volkl Wall's by far they're the most solid ski I've ridden and they're great on rails and even better for jumps.
