Reviews

Whether you’re chasing powder, cruising groomers, or looking for a fun all-mountain setup, these staff picks are here to help you find the right gear and make the most of your time on the mountain.
Black Crows Atris Birdie Review
The Black Crows Atris Birdie might be the nearest thing to a one ski quiver for Niseko.
Faction Candide Thovex 2.0 Review
This twin tip ski has plenty of flexibility in the tip and tail and particularly excels in Niseko’s famous tree runs where natural features abound.
Atomic Backland 107 Review
The Backland also comes in 117 mm width underfoot - this is a great choice for a day when the snow is deep!
Black Crows Anima Review
Great float for deep powder but powerful enough to charge the tracked out exits and entrances.
Salomon QST 106 Review
A great all-round ski for people who want one ski to do it all inside and outside the resort boundaries.
Atomic Vantage Ti 107 Review
These can handle everything from deep snow right through to carving nice long turns down the groomers.
Rossignol Soul 7 Review
The Rossignol Soul 7 handled knee deep powder snow really well out of the gates and in the resort.
Blizzard Sheeva 11 Review
Blizzard has female ski designers on their team but there is certainly nothing girlie about this ski.
