Best Skis Of 2024! All-Mountain, Powder, Freeride & More!

[@tomclarke8012]

why does no one do pros and cons anymore? all ski reviews feel like ads

[@sam-ww1wk]

No doubt. Too busy flashing the bc logo... I'm counting 6..

Check out the ski essentials page they will say what skis are good at and not good at

[@nasenblick]

YT is all ads, including content

[@minustherack]

@@stefanazcarate7914 Was about to say the same. Ski Essntials are very honest about who the ski is good for and who it might not be a good fit for. Excellent reviews there.

[@Subie-Driver]

Probably because they really don’t know how to ski a pair of skis and do a real evaluation. That Takes decades of skiing experience…which these young fellers just don’t have. Been skiing since I was 5…been on the boards 56 years now and I find it hard to tell the difference between skis of the same type.

[@caldavis3781]

Never understood the hate on 120 Bent Chetlers, I love mine. So playful and can turn on a dime in the trees.

[@jackyboi8832]

I’m currently using the Salomon QST 106 and those things rip, super good all mountain ski, great in powder and Im still able to get up on my edges and carve

[@simongloutnez589]

You didnt talked about how the mirus cor does in the park... and it is a true twin tip (aside from the swallow tail). It jumps really well, wouldnt recommend to hit 50 feet with them but they are superb for someone who enjoys rides in the park but doesnt need a dedicated park ski. The mantra is NOT to be recommended for everybody it is for someonw who primarily enjoys carving on groomers at high speed, but wants to dip everywhere in the mountain. It doesnt flex when you dont go fast, so people who likes small turns at medium speed shouldnt ride this. Bent chetler line... are incredible floaters, looks incredible too! But dont recommend this to someone who wants to carve guys come on its totally ridiculous! It is meant for powder and park. Anyone who likes to load his skis is gonna push through them easily. Someone who wants to carve and powder should be pointed towards the atomic maveric. Recommending this to someone who will never land switch is a bad recommendation. "This ski is for a skier" god damn you guys are the less serious reviewers 😂

[@liamguetg5146]

How do you feel about the black crows atris?

[@simongloutnez589]

@@liamguetg5146 never skied it and I never noticed any in my local resort. But check out ski enssentials, they have the best comparisons on youtube

Black crows in my heart

[@Oggelito_]

13 radius is optimal for me

[@snowfree52]

I have the mirus cor, the blaze 106 and the mantra 96 and you nailed it. The mantra is very hard to ski, you need to be on a good day, I do crossfit 6 days per week and I play rugby and still, if I'm not "awake" I won't take the M6 because it rips you apart if you're not in a tip top condition. Only for the braves !

[@mishasusoeff4070]

Mirus cor falls on its face in soft snow..... absolutely slays everywhere else, so fun. Not an all mountain ski though, my go to for spring conditions or old snow.

[@Andomosity]

I think the qst 106's from salomon are pretty good for all mountain skis. Can't say I have any complaints about them other than I wish I could use them more

[@dannylorenze6188]

As a Mirus cor owner I totally agree. Man they are hard to ski in any kind of soft snow.

[@thomasmedeiros5722]

In the East the Kendo 88 may be a better tool for the usual firm, fast and frozen conditions. The new Titanal frame is Tailored to each length so they get firmer as they get longer to support the heavier skiers using the longer lengths or the shorter lengths are softer for lighter skiers.

[@aidenlaflair6858]

do you have these, are they worth the investment?

[@26adrianl16]

@@aidenlaflair6858 I have them and I usually ski in the east with these icy conditions and I can assure you that they do rip. They even ski well on ice and on groomers you can lay them down so easily. But the only downside is that they're a bit heavy and thin so in a bit of powder it's kind of hard to steer but overall its worth it especially in the east.

[@raivatsinghania803]

The JJ UL is everything the regular JJ is but even better

[@kalen1702]

The Rossignol Sender 90s I bought for $495 with bindings are actually super nice. Even nicer if you don't want to spend a ton, and you're a person that loves groomers for green/blue/black. Idk how it would do on moguls or anything crazy, but I love them for my first 10 days using them.

[@kalen1702]

With the 180cm ski, they are actually 92 waist width if anyone cares about that

[@chrisgravel7157]

Funny most other reviews of the new Rustler suggest its a belnd of old R9 and a Bonafide. Less approachable, stiffer and stronger. Its polazrized some, especially finesse and lighter skiers. I bought a pair and have been on Kore 99, Kastle MX98/99, FX95, Mantras etc - all chargers or with more metal. To me the R9 in 186 at 6ft 185lbs is approachable but it holds up to hard skiing and only starts to fall apart when its either very high speed and rough or very heavy chop - partial metal and light weight can only give it soo much power. It carves any shape turn and is a joy but it just kills it in terrian that require quickness and it floats very well for its width. As a first real ski? Sure if your athletic and dont go too long.

We couldn't agree more guys 😉 Have a nice winter !

What an amazing top for the skies. Trust me I know all of these skies and I actually own some of them. I'd like to underline that every word guys said about each ski is 1000% accurate. What a nice no bullsh.. Review. Thanks!

[@r1lasxx599]

Hello, I'm looking for new skis. I mainly ski on the slopes but occasionally venture into the woods or snow park. I prefer a playful ski but want to carve as well. I've been skiing for 14 years and consider myself very skilled. I'm 1.83m tall and weigh 95kg. I'm currently considering the "Blackops 98" or the "Blackcrows Captis." Any other or better suggestions?

[@thexdeath3]

I,m looking for a beginner freestyle ski that is still great on the hard slopes but fun in the ski parks.

[@nunezgabriel98]

Armada arv is the best stiff twin tip ski I’ve used. Not the most flexible but could rip when I needed it to and great for park stuff

[@youthinasia114]

Do you recommended a black crow for a 6’2 240 male in Utah?

[@juiceboxxxxxxxx]

Black crows are trash and overrated

[@alfar156gta]

Hey there, great review. I have been eyeing out the Mirus cor, demo'ed 178 last winter and going just demo again to be sure, what do you reckon, 173 or 178, I am about 174. strong skier and ski anything everything and play in park. I am skiing a rossi sender 104 in 173 atm, thanks.

[@jakepski]

where do you think the reckoner 112 lands against the bent and the arv skis, ive been thinking about getting the bent 120, 116 jj, and reckoner 112. Im a west coast resort skier and love chasing powder but i dont need a crazy back country kind of ski. Something that is floaty in the powder but can handle mixed conditions so I have landed on the reckoner 112

[@vrukiller123]

Lookout for skitesting festivals , i tried the JJ last year.. and soon the k2 range and more to get a good choice for the coming winter 🤞🏼

[@spencjon4822]

I have the jjs and it's a lot of fun at the West coast resort too. It's definitely something I would recommend. I found myself using them nearly all year despite having skis that were meant for the conditions. (Though I only tried once on icy conditions..)

[@isaacdavis-dj8ou]

ARV 112 is coming out in 24/25. once the reviews drop check it out. looks insane

What are you guys thinking of the 1000 skis. Especially the All mountain

[@ellidan007]

Hey! Thanks for the info. How would you compare the Mantra 2s to Bridges?

[@djj6452]

Thanks .. with mirus cor .. the big debate is what size .. considering the 13 radius through all sizes !!

[@darinsmith2458]

I have to get on some M6 this season.. I demoed the Mantra 102 last year and I love that ski.. I would get them but I already have Enforcer 104 Free, Stockli 105 SR, and DPS F100 RP..

can you ride park with the black crow?

[@oktxvijus]

what type dumbass question is that 😐

[@Saltydoc121]

Looking to replace '08 Gotama (106 waist). Starting to feel flat and lifeless. Looking at the Mantra 102 or M6 as a replacement. Only concern is the 96 waist. Any thoughts? 6'2" 205lbs advanced skier in Colorado moguls, powder, steeps and whatever connects them. Rarely over 12" powder, but could bring the Goat's for those days.

Def bent 120

Anima is going to perform better when hard charging chop, bent 120’s gonna be better with deep pow. Anima is for FWT charging and Bent is for Japan

[@justinsteffen796]

Well put about all ski reviews having a short to no con list. I suspect that there is a lot of competition out there where 15-20 years ago it was either of the 3 ski mags that were prevalent then. Now the testers are actually younger and happy to be even receiving a pair from any company and certainly don't want to "upset" anyone of them as they fear not getting any next year from that manufacturer which can could turn into chain reaction interms of views. They fear not being given a free pair next year(as would I in all fairness). So you have to really listen now as they won't spell it out. In all fairness to this channel the above was a generic statement about ski reviews in general. Not this channel in particular.

[@FanaSepis]

the völkl one chips very easily by looking at reviews

[@JamesMeadlock]

I heard some of these skis are marketed for backcountry use. Maybe you could sue the manufacturers to protect your ip?

[@jtuds]

Say you live in Ontario Canada where there’s no real mountains and no powder, and you’re too old for freestyle shit, and you mostly follow your kids around on groomers, but you want sick ass looking skis, could you ride the Bent 120s and still enjoy yourself or would that width make skiing groomers significantly harder and less enjoyable??

[@TimothyZamora-q7q]

Good reviews minus the black crows. Black crows seem to be more focused on gimmicks and aesthetics and less about actual performance and quality.
