Each ski in this collection has been personally tested and chosen by our expert staff. From versatile all-mountain skis to powder-ready planks, this lineup has something for every skier’s style and skill level.
ATOMIC
Bent 100
A perfect PNW ski. With 100mm of ski underfoot it's wide enough for skiing untouched snow but reactive enough for carving on piste. Spend time in the park? The Bent 100 is lively and absorbs just about any impact you throw at it, and the thicker edge tech keeps your skis intact longer. The new rocker profile really makes this ski feel brand new, if you haven’t tried the new Bent 100 you don’t know what you’re missing.
Staff pick: This ski has been a game-changer when it comes to a comfortable and dependable ski in the worst conditions. It’s playful and versatile. Definitely my year round go-to ski!

BLIZZARD
Anomaly 94
The Anomaly is brand new for the 24/25 ski season and a true shining star. If you’re coming from a Blizzard Brahma, Bonafide, or even a Cochise this ski may feel familiar but the new core construction and metal profile in the anomaly family makes these new skis even better. Just as stable and reliable as you may remember for carving on piste, but now even friendlier when spending time in fresh snow or variable terrain. The Anomaly 94 will be a fantastic addition to anyone’s ski lineup.
Staff pick: These skis remind me of my most stable friend back home; simple and reliable. It’s my one ski to do it all.

BLIZZARD
Sheeva 11
Blizzard calls the Sheeva 11 the “party animal” of the Sheeva family and we couldn’t agree more. The super poppy woodcore paired with metal edges tip to tail make this ski playful and fun for women who love to shred anything from on trail to off trail. Venture off piste and into some powder and really see this ski shine.
Staff pick: The Blizzard Sheeva is hands-down my favorite all-mountain ski. It’s the perfect mix of stable and playful, making it a blast to handle no matter where I end up. I can chase the kids through the trees, carve down groomers, and dive into powder—all in one run. I’ve got some other awesome skis, but I almost always grab my Sheevas because they’re so much fun! -Megan
ELAN
Playmaker 101
The Playmaker family is in its second year of existence and we’re still stoked about it. This surfy playful setup came into the industry with a bang with immediate praise from pro skiers to casual riders. The Playmaker 101 would make an awesome everyday driver for anyone looking for a softer ski that will crush any condition; including uphill travel. The wide size range on this ski makes it accessible for a bunch of riders skiing anything from a 164cm ski to a 188.
Staff pick: I have enjoyed my Playmakers as a wide park ski that can charge all around the mountain. It is best in softer conditions because it’s a flexible ski, but for those hard pack days it will still hold an edge and feel stable at high speed. For those wanting a ski that will be buttery and poppy but still be a great one quiver ski this is for you. -Wil
NORDICA
Enforcer 104
With such a famous name you know that Nordica is going to deliver a ski that’s even better than the last. The updated core construction in the Enforcer family is definitely new and improved. The Enforcer 104 gives you the confidence of a fantastic ski in any condition and is perfect for the skier who’s looking for something to carry them through anything the PNW has to offer.
Staff Pick: These skis give me unmatched stability on high speed groomers and off piste. They’re my go-to ski. The Enforcer 89 and the 104 are my picks for the year. -Will
ROSSIGNOL
Soul Sender 102
Remember a few years ago where every other ski you saw was the black and yellow Rossignol Soul 7? There was a good reason why you saw it everywhere, it was a great all-mountain ski that helped skiers of all abilities have fun on the slopes. Well, that ski is back and better than ever in the Sender Soul 102. The Sender Soul 102 is a perfect ski from an intermediate skier looking to better their skiing to the advanced skier lapping the backcountry. Whatever kind of skier you are, you’ll have a great time on this setup.
Staff pick: As a boarder-to-skier convert I’ve been looking for a ski to do it all. And I’ve gotta say, the Sender 102s nailed it. They’ve been great for getting my skiing skills on par with my snowboarding while having fun the whole time. For those of you looking to bring your skiing skills to the next level, these are the perfect fit! -Sean
Salomon
QST 98
From an intermediate skier buying their first set of skis to the expert skier blasting through knee-deep power this ski has something for everyone. Skiing in the PNW always has us guessing on conditions so why not have a ski that shines in them all. The QST’s early rise tip and tail rocker makes this ski reactive and playful in soft snow, but it’s stability and edge hold is one of a kind. A true all-mountain ski, and if you’re looking for a one ski quiver… you found it.
Staff pick: Skiing is all about fun and the Salomon Blank and it’s little brother the QST 98 are all fun, all the time! My Blanks are wide enough to float in pow but have a tight turn radius for quick turns in tight spots and easy arcs on groomers. The QST 98 now has the same construction but its narrower waist makes it lighter, quicker, and more accessible. Both skis are more forgiving than other skis in this category and at $649 the QST 98 is a killer value! -Venny
STOCKLI
Montero AX
The Montero AX is a fantastic addition to our wall this year. Stockli’s adaptive tech has each of these skis feeling the exact same no matter what length, so you can be confident that you’ll get the best of this ski on whatever size you end up on. These skis come with a Strive 13 binding, the ski and binding combo really presents a powerhouse setup for skiing on piste, through spring crud, and even tackling some off-the-trail turns.
Staff pick: If you’ve skied Stocklis, these may feel familiar. The successors to the Laser AX, the Montero AX took everything I love about Stockli’s all-mountain carvers and made them even more fun. I love that I can push these like a race ski and it holds up just as well. This setup has never held me back from charging anything on the mountain. -Baptiste
VOLKL
Secret 92
The new and improved Secret 92 is certainly a contender for ski of the year. Volkl threw everything you loved from every Secret and mashed it together with this ski, its updated sidecut tech makes turning a dream, if you’re ripping laps on groomers from first chair to last this is the ski for you. Wide enough to shine on those fresh snow days and plenty playful for late season slush, Volkl really presented a ski that will have women loving their gear this year.
Staff pick: I was blown away by Volkl’s updates to their skis this year. The secret was good before but now it’s great. I can go from big powder lines to carving in the same run with these skis.
