Hi! Could you please recommend some skis similars to the Thunderbird R14 TI for progresive intermediate to low end level? Thanks!

Hi, I recently watched the video and my english is not very good so I couldn’t understand very well the video. The question that I have is what ski would you recommend me between arcade 88 and arcade 84 if I’m looking for something for both off piste and on piste.

Pow Mow going corporate is not a benefit to the average skier. Pass prices have already increased quite a bit. Access is more limited (idc how they try to spin it) Overcrowding is not an issue at this resort. It's another example of a corporation buying a business and trying to squeeze every single dollar out of it. The industry is not really competing in a free market. Opening a new resort requires permits from the government, which atr very difficult to get approved. Plus, something tells me the only way you could possibly get it approved, is if you already have a whole bunch of money and are playing the game in Washington... think about the size of the USA vs Europe. The # or ski resorts per square mile is not even close. They both have similar amounts of total area. (3.5 to 4 million sq. Miles) United States has around 300 resorts...Europe ~3000😅😅😅 Germany alone has 400+!!!

Grate job guys. I love watching your videos but in comparisons like that i always want to know the appropriate skier level for each pair i am an intermediate and i want a good pair of skis that is easy sking and not very demanding.

I am a good skier and just under 6ft in height would a 177 be to shore for me?

when will these new oblivions be available?

How would it compare to say Anomoly 84. I know you have talked about it in comparison to Anomoly 88 but trying to decide how to build out my quiver in the 80s section. I already have the new 2025 enforcer 94 and 104 (fan boy or Nordica) but think that the Enforcer 89 might have to much overlap with the Enforcer 94, making me think Anomoly 84 might be a good addition to my quiver

Whoever is the orange at the start i love the way u ski it looks so playful and fun

Any suggestions? Need new powder ski for upcoming winter trips. For global travel. Japan. Canada. France. Cat skiing, lift access, boot packing etc. I currently Have black crows serpo and corvus, love both, but want something less direct as an option also. Mainly for big pow days, but nothing stupid wide. Thinking twin tip. Have tried the BC 110 loved it! Also tried the fisher mfree, also fun. Would be happy on either. Any other options around or between these two?. Ie the rossignol sender is a mix of those two? I'm 172cm tall, 80kgs. Happy with the corvus for when I can get fresh open lines (Soo much fun!) and 2 day old chop.and the serpo is a great resort ski. So looking for something a bit different, wider. Will take 3x pairs on any trip i take.

Hi, I’m a intermediate - advanced skier, 175 cm / 77 kg. I’m not sure whether the 164 or 172 would suit me better? Looking to carve at all varieties of speed on groomers, a bit of off trail. 70/30. Normally I prefer skorter skis but not sure how much tip and tail rocker or effective edge on this one… Let me know your best recommendations.

Hi, appreciate all your videos! I’m a intermediate - advanced skier, 175 cm / 77 kg. I’m not sure whether the 168 or 174 would suit me better?

So I got this ski last year and have used it in 2ft storm, bumps, and groomers, love it. Most versatile ski I own, it’s my go to ski. A bit tough to handle in bumps if you like to jam the tips straight at the bump the ski is stiff and heavy but I keep using it and it’s the 1 ski I would take to the mtn if I only had 1. Mounting point forward has helped initiation.

I'm stuck between the Fischer Ranger 102 and the Blizzard Rustler 10, but leaning toward Rustler ...I'm an upper advanced skier in Whistler area that spends 60/40 off/one piste ...6'1"/195lbs ...help?

Appreciate all the reviews you guys post. I have the 2022 96 Ripsticks regular edition. I'd still probably want to demo the Playmaker 101s before buying them but do you think the Playmaker 101s are too similar to be the only 2 skis in my quiver?

I felt like Jeff hand flexing that ski. Enforcer 88 skier (probably 150 days on it) and like it off piste but I want to replace it with something not as demanding. I have narrow skis for hard snow days in VT and my knees are not what they were 5 years ago. It's looking more like I'm going Anomaly 88, Mindbender 89 Ti or possibly Maverick 88 TI. Basin should have demos ;)

I would like to see Nordica do something a little different. I'd like to see their take on a lighter more playful ski (i.e. Blaze , Ripstick etc) I may check out the Santa ana, even though I'm a male..

You say they flip-flopsed... Does that mean the new blizzard feels more like the old Enforcer than the 25' enforcer?

I’ve been watching all your reviews, great content. Thank you! I’ve been torn between a few different skis. I always ski with my kids so northeast groomers are a huge focus. I’ve considered the rustler 9’s, ripstick 88, 96, and 96 black. Low end intermediate. Given the conditions I ski a ripstick 88 is a good bet but at my weight (250-260) would a 96 or 96 black better support me carving NE trails?

What is more appropriate for an intermediate skier: Peregrine 82, Montero AX or Anomaly 84? Is Peregrine 82 good for an intermediate skier hoping to progress? It should allow skidding turns and mistakes. I live in European alps, so it should handle ice to slush (with bumps) snow conditions during the same day, but mostly on piste (for powder I will take snowboard). I am a snowboarder moving (partially) to ski, now doing about 10-15 days skiing and 10 days snowboarding per season, will be the 3rd season on ski. Thanks!

Have you guys ever sold Zag skis?

Great review as always! How does this ski compare to the Experience 82 Ti? I'm looking to improve my carving and linking a variety of turns with good form on groomers.

The first 2:00 of this was so confusing it caused me to forgot how to ski

Although being an European carver I still prefer wider skis, especially my Stöckli Stormrider 95. I'll have to try the Enforcer 89 though. Thanks for another excellent review.

Looks like a great day on the mountain!

Always so interesting to follow your investigations. So thanks a bunch for your detailed considerations on these new Enforcer models. My question to you, today I'm driving a Deacon 84 and planning to go for the Kendo 88 additionally. I drove the Nordica Fire Arrow 84 over years and you may remember how stiff these planks are, so the Deacon is clearly the relaxing alternative. Is the Enforcer 89 comparable to the Kendo 88? Considering as well that I bring min. 125kg on the snow without ski's, thus some stiffness might be mandatory to put the 'forces' on the ground. Main application is on groomed slopes (in the afternoon)! What would you prefer?

with an 18m turn radius the 89 sounds like my 2016 stormrider 88 with a 19m turn radius.. my 88 has a window of when they start opening up the rest of the mountain and it is still below freezing.. once it starts getting above freezing i like using wider skis.. if it is early season with not much of the hill open and a ton of skiers it is literally no fun to ski on the ski.. i even snowplow in really congested areas.. those skis are 177-180 cm... my old race skis are are 70mm x 170cm with an 18m turn radius.. i will probably ski on those early season.. i have been thinking about getting some Laser or Montero but i would probably get them in a 170cm length so that i can avoid all of the people.. if they get snow early season i will probably use my DPS 100mm with a 15m turn radius.. it still takes a ton of effort if there is a ton of people to avoid..

No interest in this ski specifically but cool to know where different skis fit into the market. You guys are always fun to watch!

I really should get these for my western dedicated carving ski. Hard to decide between this and the E94.

2022 Storm Rider 88 vs Anomaly 88 & Enforcer 89?

I picked up the 88 this spring for a great price and it quickly became maybe my favorite ski for everything under 6 inches of snow. That tip rocker/flexibility makes it kind of playful and I don't find it difficult off piste, disappointed in the changes for the 89. I think it lost the versatility that made it special.

Thanks guys. The new one actually sounds like it bridges the difference between my old Enf 88s and Brahmas. So now better turn initiation and longer effective edge, while retaining the soft snow friendly tips and shape that the Enfs always had. Sounds awesome to me. Updated Declivity 82ti/92ti review next please.

A lot of enforcement on the horizon

How does it ski compared to the Anamoly 88? I’ve skied a Brahma and Bonafide for years and looking to replace both with a new front side ski?

Is the new optic 88 close to filling the void of the missing narrower metal built unleashed? Exciting that someone is making a narrower metal laminate twin

Thanks for the review guys! I'm currently on the 2024 Blaze 94. I wonder how the new 94 and 104 compares to the Blizzard Ruslter 10. Any insight?

Most locals say Alta as in altitude. However, if it is named after Alta Badia in Italy it would be the other pronunciation.

How does does Ripstick 88 compare to the Wingman 89CTI? I ski on Blizzard 2016/17 Brahma 88's 180cm and I may be looking at new skis. TIA

Guys, I love that you’ve added a “comparisons” section at the end. Contrasting a given ski against the comparable skis in its class is the most helpful way to understand what the ski does. If anything, it would be great to spend even more time doing it!

Hi Jeff , nice review video! Curious that what's the brand and model of the length adjustable ski poles?

These skis could be used for randonnée, what bindings do you recommend in that case?

Ok, not exactly a Warren Miller movie, but interesting stuff for us ski nerds ⛷️

hello I'm look at the stranger vs the bent100, thoughts?

I’m looking to replace my old Stormrider 88s with a narrower ski that’s more stable when skiing faster through variable conditions all over the mountain, but not as punishing as the Brahma, which I thought was too much ski for a daily driver (to be used on lower snow days out west). These seem just about perfect?

I love the review. I obviously will want to try before I buy. I ski at Smuggs and currently ski RTM 81. I am looking for a little more flex and a little lighter. What do you think about the Anomaly 84 or Pregrine 82. What are the differences

We need more of this! Great content, visit more factories. We, the customers, see only the end product, but there is so much behind.

This is what I’ve been needing to get the confidence to buy these. Thank you

Did my own research.....never mind.

Hi guys, let me ask a dumb question-- how does a Blizzard Anamoly compare to a Black Pearl? Inquiring minds want to know.
