2027 Ski Wall
We don’t just order skis off the trade show floor or from a manufacturer’s product catalog; if a ski is on our wall, it has gone through our extensive on-snow testing process, and it’s been debated, analyzed, and compared. We’ve discussed the nuances of the ski, and identified its targeted skier profile.

CARVING SKIS
Shop Carving SkisCarving skis are traditionally what most people ski, especially on the East Coast and in the Midwest. They are narrow underfoot, from 64 mm to 80 mm, so they transition from edge to edge quickly. And they are torsionally stiff, so they hold an edge even on firm snow. The narrow waist is an asset on the groomed runs, but becomes a liability in deep snow. With a turning radius of generally less than 17 meters, carving skis will rail turn after turn.

ALL MOUNTAIN SKIS
Shop All-Mountain SkisAll-mountain skis range from 80 mm to 90 mm underfoot, and they are designed to go happily anywhere on the mountain. They’re narrow enough to carve and behave beautifully on the groomed runs, but wide enough in the waist to provide some floatation for those stashes of powder you find a day or two after a storm. For most people who only want one ski in their quiver, it should probably come from the all-mountain category.

ALL MOUNTAIN - WIDE SKIS
Wide all-mountain skis range from 90 mm to 100 mm wide underfoot. It used to be that skis of this width were strictly for powder, but over the last decade, especially with the addition of rocker and better manufacturing techniques which provide more torsional rigidity, many of these skis are just as happy plowing through crud and cutting occasional trenches in the corduroy as they are floating through powder.

POWDER SKIS
Powders skis range from 100 mm to 130+ mm underfoot, and most of them aren’t very happy on anything other than steep and deep, especially the ones with zero camber or reverse camber underfoot. Almost all have rocker (early rise in the tips) to help the skis float in the deep snow, and to make them easier to turn. Powder skis rise above the snow so they are very easy to turn in the tight trees, and quite stable making big long arcs in open bowls.
