The ultimate slarvry powder ski


K2 Shane McConkey Tribute Pontoon Skis 2010 Review

The Tribute edition of the Pontoon skis the same as this year's regular version - but is a great way to say "Thanks Shane!" and support his family. A little bit of extra goodness added to an already great ski...


Bataleon Undisputed Snowboard 2011 Review

Bataleon Undisputed Snowboard 2011 Review provided by evo - I needed a Pow Stick that could support my weight, I'm 6'1 220 lbs so my 159cm LibTech TRS wasn't cutting it in the deep powder. I wanted something that floated but didn't want a board that was to long since I like doing trees. This board was a good balance, it floats so easily, and is long/wide enough to support my body weight when not hauling down the steeps.


CoreUPT Candide Yard Skis 2011 Review

Skis like the Candide Yard by CoreUPT have two distinct target skiers. So this review is going to have two distinct paragraphs. If you’re a park rat with Candide Thovex YouTube videos in your browsing history, proceed to paragraph #1. If you’re an upper intermediate all-mountain skier who has no idea what a Candide Thovex is, please refer to paragraph #2.


Never Summer Heritage Rocker Snowboard 2011 Review

When every Never Summer Heritage is built, Hermione Granger apparates into the factory to weave highly advanced spells for lightness, grip and power into each layer of the board. This makes it the most magical board available to us muggles, guaranteeing an advantage on the hill to the lucky owner, which s/he will feel in every turn. The first time you step onto your Heritage, the bond is made (just like in Avatar when Jake captured his flying mount!) and the board is linked to your motor cortex, enabling it to seamlessly track lines, as you visualize them, with minimal musculoskeletal effort.


Ninthward Rory Silva Twin Tip Powder Skis Review

Enter Ninthward’s Rory Silva twin tips, made to rip pretty much anything. The full sidewall construction and traditional camber allow the skis to go pretty much as fast as you want on groomers, as well as embue the skis with strength to power through crud and choppy chop that you’ll inevitably face. The steel edges built into these, as well as most Ninthward skis, were made to be abused, so when the powder isn’t flowing, feel free to destroy your skis on manmade obstacles. Hit enough rails and you can take any ski down, but the Rory’s are tough, tougher than most to be certain.


K2 Pontoon Skis 2011 Review

I've said it before and was reminded this spring once again why the Pontoons are so darn good. First, this isn't a "pro" skiers's ski or simply a "powder only" ski. The Pontoons are remarkably versatile. While best in any smooth conditions (1" to 5' of new snow), getting to the lift after the off piste run isn't a nightmare as some would expect. There's sidecut under the foot that allows you to actually carve a decent turn and the soft/smooth snow performance more than justifies the times you wished that you had some super-carvers on the groomers.


Men's K2 Kung Fujas 2011 Review

K2 Kung Fujas Skis 2011: Pep Fujas demanded a ski that he could charge every type of terrain on, so K2 worked with him to develop a new wider K2 Kungng Fujas Ski, a ski that is big enough to float and take on the backcountry, yet nibble and poppy enough to shred the resort and the park. He added even more All-Terrain Rocker to enhance its performance in the soft snow, and retained the Bi-Directional taper for optimal switch carving. The result is a ski that is truly a quiver of one.


Atomic Atlas 2012 Review

Using the Atlas, former World Cup contender turned freeskier Daron Rahlves won Powder Magazine's "Best Line Award"– the ultimate prize in the powder discipline.
