The Redster Q4 is all about inspiring confidence and boosting skills for intermediate skiers. The piste is its natural home and whatever the conditions it remains unfazed thanks to a Multi Radius Sidecut and the 77mm waist. Along with the composite wood core and Ti Stabilizer this means it is as happy practising short radius turns onTerrain Type & Ability LevelTerrain Type The Redster Q can trace its DNA straight to Atomic's World Cup winning Redster program, so you know that it will be completely at home on pistes and firm snow. The wider waist means that it's a happy to explore a little and is more than capable of handling whatever conditions you find skiing from open to close. It excels on firm morning corduroy, slashes through chop and handles slush with aplomb, whether cruising greens and blues or pushing it on reds.Skier TypeThe Q4 is the ideal ski for intermediates who want to progress on piste whatever the conditions. It has the shape and build to produce a variety of turns, with the width for stability whether it is groomed, soft or choppy. It's a ski to improve on, happy at slow speeds whilst working on technique and also comfortable as things get faster and the turns quicker.OverviewShapeIt's 76.5mm underfoot with a 14.3m radius in a 169cm and has Atomic's All Condition Piste Shape that uses a Multi Radius Sidecut and extra width underfoot to produce confidence inspiring handling and impressive stability. The contact points extend right into the tip and tail, working with the Active Camber, to provide excellent edge hold and means you don't need to ski this model long.RockerActive Camber means no rocker at the tip or tail, this increases the effective edge contact for better grip on icy slopes and improved stability.CoreThe mix of Power Woodcore and Densolite ensures good handling without excess weight. The Power Woodcore is an ash and poplar core that adds a ton of stability and dampens vibrations at speed. The Densolite is a foam core that keeps the ski agile as well as dampening vibrations for effortless skiing.ConstructionDura Cap Sidewall uses a sidewall from base to top sheet for controlled power transmission and great edge grip. The rounded shape of the Dura Cap is a fantastic durability feature as it picks up fewer dents and dings.Key FeaturesTi StabilizerA Titanal layer under the core helps with shock absorption for a smoother ride and stiffens the torsional flex for better control and edge hold.eB tester’s comments: Steve (Buying Team) excellent grip and stability through small and large turn shapes. easy to skid but loves carving too. even though it's aimed at intermediates it was better than expected when being pushed to it's limits.

The enforcer is one of the best, and most highly regarded, 100mm skis on the market and the updates on this latest model have only elevated its status. It will fly down hard packed runs with the grip of a top piste ski, it can blast through any snow condition and feel nimble and floaty in soft snow. A new Carbon Chassis has reduced the weight whilst also making it smoother and damper; True Tip has further lightened the ski by getting rid of heavy ABS and extending the wood core right in to the tip. The power and stability it’s so well known for remain, except now it’s just more forgiving and playful.Terrain Type & Ability LevelTerrain Type Anything and anywhere, could be blasting down fresh groomed pistes or smashing through skied-out old snow at top speed, the enforcer 100 is a versatile ski. It’s width ensures plenty of float on fresh snow days, and it’s shape means easy handling when the conditions or terrain are tricky. The construction gaurantees grip and power; the new tech makes it actually more playful and even more responsive than previous versions.Skier TypeConfident all mountain skiers who want a wider ski for stability and float when they get away from the pistes, whilst still spending time clocking miles on marked runs too. It’ll pair up super-well with a hybrid tour binding like a Shift, Kingpin or Duke PT for getting further away from the lifts.OverviewShapeIt’s 100mm underfoot and, with the firm construction, this kind of dimension will plough through anything, no matter how cut up or heavy the conditions. The width works well with the tip taper and early rise, plus the slight tail rocker, for effortless handling in powder. The relatively turny 17.3m radius (179cm) ensures it feels quick in a carve and that it loves a run down firm snow as much as soft.RockerAll Mountain Rocker uses a 30/50/20 split of rocker/camber/rocker across the tip, main body and tail of the ski. This gives effortless handling in all conditions as the rocker in the tip aids float and initiation, the camber provides grip and bite on firmer snow, and the tail rocker allows for easy turn release and control in tricky snow.CoreThe powerful energy 2 Ti core uses a full wood core with Titanal sheets above and below it. The metal dampens vibrations and improves stability, the wood adds energy and response. The new True Tip Technology extends the core into the tip and lightens the overall weight as well as increasing manoeuvrability.ConstructionSidewalls offer the best in energy transmission and edge grip; the new Carbon Chassis reduces weight and increases stability.Key FeaturesCarbon ChassisNordica’s carbon-reinforced chassis weighs about 35% less than traditional glass. Full-length carbon strips not only reduce the chassis’ weight, they also increase the ski’s strength and stability. The result is a stronger, lighter, more stable ski that’s also more playful and versatile.True Tip TechnologyBy trimming the amount of heavy ABS plastic in the tip and extending the lightweight wood core into this area, with a taper that further reduces weight, Nordica were able to increase playfulness and manoeuvrability of the ski. At the same they have maintained the classic powerful and stable feel that enforcers are known for.eB tester’s comments: Luke (Buying Team) I’ve had some good days on the enforcer in the past and found it a bit of a charger, great through mixed soft snow. The new one still feels like the same powerful ski, just a bit lighter which my legs thanked me for.Size (cm)Tip Width (mm)Waist Width (mm)Tail Width (mm)Radius (m)Weight (g)17213210012016.3179132.5100120.517.3219018613310012118.4General InformationSkier Ability: Advanced|expertTerrain Type: FreerideRocker: Tip/Tail RockerRadius: MediumBase: SinteredBindings: Ski sold flatDIN: n/aConstruction: Full SidewallCore: Wood, Carbon, Titanal LaminateDemo: NoSizing Description: Forehead to over head height.

The arrival of the Pure Mission 98 Ti W means the Mission name is back, it’s better than ever and now it is available in a women's model. It’s an all mountain ski that has the width and stability for any condition whilst remaining excellent on piste. A titanal reinforcement underfoot and sandwich construction provide grip and performance; the paulownia and beech wood core and carbon stringers keep the manoeuvrable. This is a proper all mountain ski that you really can take anywhere.Terrain Type & Ability LevelTerrain Type This is a relatively wide all mountain ski that is still excellent on piste, a hard mix to achieve but Scott have pulled it off. On firm snow it has bite and grip thanks to the Titanal; the light weight and carbon ensures it feels lively and quick, especially for a ski this size. In choppy and heavy snow the shape and construction allow it to power through effortlessly. A proper all mountain ski that you can take anywhere.Skier TypeAdvanced and expert all mountain skiers who want a relatively light ski but one that has the width and stability to power through variable and heavy snow. They’ll spend plenty of time on piste but need a ski for everything on the mountain. A great choice as a one-ski quiver seeing as it is so capable in so many environments.OverviewShapeInspired by Jeremie Heitz, the new Pure Freeride sidecuts provide both stability and manoeuvrability. Shorter radius in the front than on the back, with a long radius under the foot, make the ski agile in any conditions. 98mm underfoot with a 17m radius (168cm) keeps the Mission on the off-piste end of all mountain models with a relatively long radius and wide waist.RockerFreeride Tip and Tail Rocker. Having rocker in both the tip and tail allows for optimal float in deep snow and creates a playful ski, while traditional camber underfoot maintains edge hold and stability.CorePower Wood Core. The Full-Length Wood Core produces a more consistent ski flex and creates a homogeneous transition between middle part and rockered tip and tail. Paulownia is lightweight with great strength to weight; Beech adds strength and durability.ConstructionSandwich Sidewall Ti/Carbon. The ultimate ski construction for freeride performance. The full-length sidewall construction delivers precision and speed for effort transmission. The Titanal layer makes the ski ultra-stable for high-speed runs. The carbon brings lightness and comfort, for a perfect ski in any snow conditions.Key FeaturesTitanal reinforcementStability and performance are key on compact snow when the grip and the confidence in the skis are pushed to the limit. The titanal reinforcement makes the push on the edges quicker and more precise. The Scott titanal re-enforcement has a unique shape depending on the ski model to not compromise the natural flex and ski rebound. On the Mission it sits in the binding area, keeping maximum edge grip underfoot, whilst allowing the tip and tail more forgiving and lighter.Born and Nurtured in the AlpsThe Pure project is something special that Scott have been working on with leading freerider Jeremie Heitz. The Pure is equipped with a progressive titanal layer that harmonizes the flex and aids power transmission when coming out of a turn. At the same time, the ski delivers more stability, enabling you to hold your line while riding steep big-mountain lines. The Pure impresses with its light weight and performance, thanks to the dual-power wood core – a mix of paulownia wood and 2 beech stringers that cover the full length of the ski. The combination of paulownia and beech gives an extra edge when it comes to torsional stiffness. So, you can go all in on those high-speed runs, without any chattering skis.Size (cm)Tip Width (mm)Waist Width (mm)Tail Width (mm)Radius (m)Weight (g)1601329811816135016813398119171500General InformationSkier Ability: Advanced|expertRocker: Tip/Tail RockerRadius: LongBase: SinteredBindings: Ski sold flatDIN: n/aConstruction: Full SidewallCore: Wood, Carbon, Titanal LaminateDemo: Yes [Full Details]

K2's Talkback 88 is the tried-and-tested flagship model of their touring line-up. It's as capable on the uphill as it is dealing with whatever it encounters on the way down.

The 102 is the most versatile model in K2's all-terrain, all-condition Reckoner range. The Carbon Spectral Braid the 102 makes it noticeably lighter than other K2 skis that have been around the same dimensions, which also makes for tips and tails that feel relatively soft and helps create a ski that feels poppy and responsive whether skiing trees or powder bumps. The directional sidecut and Double Barrel core shine when crushing turns on groomers. Put simply, if you’re looking for playful all condition ski that will be as much fun around the mountain as it is in the park, then K2 have nailed it for you with the Reckoner 102.Terrain Type & Ability LevelTerrain Type The 102 is super versatile, happy spending days in the park, finding hits around the mountain, crushing tight trees or getting deep on pow laps.Skier TypeSkiers who do everything, from the park to natural hits, or just messing around the mountain popping, carving and slashing.OverviewShapeTwin Rocker with a 102 waist and directional sidecut.

The Poacher remains the go-to ski for the K2 Factory Team, equally at home on huge features as it is on gnarly street tests. 96mm underfoot is the kind of width that suits a variety of terrain, matched by a construction that mixes enough flex for the park and a stiffness that works all mountain. Point them straight on the groomers and when it's time to turn the Poacher has the kind of grip that similar skis can't match, plus it has the power to deal with trickier conditions. But this isn't just stiff all mountain ski with a twin shape, it's the real deal in the park with the flex dialled so that it feels soft enough to press, butter and have fun on. It is one of the very best do-it-all freestyle skis that is genuinely comfortable in all terrain or skiing styles.Terrain Type & Ability LevelTerrain Type It's designed for park and urban riding but the shape and the flex makes it more than handy skiing all mountain. It has enough rocker and width to deal with all but the deepest days, and it's definitely happy skiing anything with a bit of pace too. The flex is firmer than some park skis but it still butters comfortably and it has the pop off the lip that other skis can't match along with a solid feel on the landing.Skier TypeIt's going to suit stronger or heavier skiers who will appreciate the power of the ski, but it is still a freestyle ski so it isn't over-stiff. If you're skiing a mix of park and all mountain then it is going to hit the spot as a 1 ski option.OverviewShape96mm underfoot is a good size for a ski like this, it will basically handle everything with zero compromise in the park. 19m (184cm) is long enough to make sure the Poacher is super stable on landings and when skiing all terrain, but not so long it feels slow to turn.RockerAll-Terrain Twin Rocker is a gradual, extended rise at the tip and tail for added versatility and control in all conditions with twin tip skis.

For precise, edge-high knifing on firm snow, look no further than the K2 Disruption SC. With a quick edge-to-edge feel and tight turning radius, these skis will dive into the turn and engage throughout. And thanks to the Carbon I-Beam and DMD, that's Dark Matter Damping -- the skis offer the smooth, precise performance to run pistes all day long without giving your legs a hard time.Terrain Type & Ability LevelTerrain Type Pistes all day long, from the first lift to the last. Unlike many high-end skis it isn't demanding to ski, because there's no metal in here, so you can be on top of your game all day longSkier TypePiste skiers who want to turn tight with quick reactions and go fast without having to deal with the constant demands of a race ski. Technique will be good, but it doesn't need to be perfect, so it will suit advanced skiers as well as experts who are looking for precision without full-on power.OverviewShapeLong contact length with the widest points very close to the tip and tail, this gives the ski the best grip all the way through the turn and precise initiation (the Speed Rocker ensures the tip isn't grabby). 73mm in the waist provides quick edge changes; the 15.2m (174cm) radius ensures tight carves and fast response, but the ski is very capable of bigger turns unlike some other short turn specialists.RockerSpeed Rocker uses a short and low rise in the tip for quick turn initiation and precise steering, the camber ensures grip and response.

K2’s Mindbender 89Ti a fun all-terrain ripper that takes it influence from wider skis, it’s also our overall Ski of the Year for men. Never hard to use but not lacking in performance, it’s as happy blasting carves on groomers as it is hounding out powder stashes. All Terrain Rocker coupled with a Powerwall construction and a Ti Y-Beam provides the control and edge grip by stopping the skis twisting and flexing too much at high speed. At slower speeds the ski initiates easily and in tricky conditions it handles perfectly.Terrain Type & Ability LevelTerrain Type Suited to a variety of terrain, from groomers to fresh snow. The construction uses Ti, making it slightly stiffer than the 90C version and meaning it grips better on firmer snow and at higher speeds. This is the ski to grab when it’s not waist deep and you want to rip up whatever conditions you find. It will carve all day long on marked trails but where it really shines is off to the side. Trees, slush, tracked-out pow, the 89Ti handles it all expertly.Skier TypeSeasonnaires, all mountain skiers, 1 ski quiver skiers, or part of selection, this ski has a lot of appeal. It’s ideally suited to advanced skiers, but that’s not to say that stronger intermediates and lighter expert skiers won’t get a lot from it. The Mindbender 89 Ti is as much about mindset as it is ability. This is for skiers looking to go everywhere, in all kinds of snow, realists who know that deep powder is a rare blessing, and who value a ski that genuinely works in every condition.OverviewShapeA 89mm waist is the sweet spot for this kind of ski; wide enough to float and still feel quick enough edge to edge for groomed slopes to be fun. The radius favours stability but, working with the rocker on the nose, helps with lift and initiation. The shallow rocker on the tail improves control and allows for easy release.RockerAll Terrain Rocker skis have a gradual rise to the tip for great versatility in all conditions, with a short, low rise in the tail for added control in variable snow.CoreA wood core with a mix of maple and aspen. The maple is an energetic, tough, dense wood that absorbs impact; aspen is lightweight and resilient, a great all-round material.

At 89mm under foot they are agile on piste but have ample float if you want to explore; the All Terrain Rocker ensures a balanced platform and predictable handling everywhere on the hill.Terrain Type & Ability LevelTerrain Type Suited to a variety of terrain, from groomers to fresh snow. The construction uses Ti, meaning it grips on firmer snow and at higher speeds. This is the ski to grab when it’s not waist deep and you want to rip up whatever conditions you find. It will carve all day long on marked trails but where it really shines is off to the side. Trees, slush, tracked-out pow, the 89Ti handles it all expertly.Skier TypeThe 88 Ti is ideally suited to advanced skiers, but that’s not to say that stronger intermediates and lighter expert skiers won’t get a lot from it. It’s as much about mindset as it is ability. This is for skiers looking to ski everywhere, in all kinds of snow conditions, realists who know that deep powder is a rare blessing, and who value a ski that genuinely works in every condition.OverviewShapeA 89mm waist is the sweet spot for this kind of ski; wide enough to float and still feel quick enough edge to edge for groomed slopes to be fun. The radius favours stability but, working with the rocker on the nose, helps with lift and initiation. The shallow rocker on the tail improves control and allows for easy release.RockerAll Terrain Rocker skis have a gradual rise to the tip for great versatility in all conditions, with a short, low rise in the tail for added control in variable snow.CoreAspen Veneer, aspen is lightweight and resilient, making it a great all rounder.ConstructionPowerwall construction ensures that power transfer is dramatically enhanced with the oversized ABS sidewalls that are laminated and pocketed within the wood core in the midbody of the ski. With the sidewall extending into the heart of the ski, the transmission of energy from skier to ski edge is direct and precise.Key FeaturesTitanal Y-Beam TechnologyTitanal has long been used in high-end skis and is known for providing a damp, stable ride at high speeds and on variable terrain, but K2’s Y-Beam technology takes things a step further with dramatically enhanced performance tuning. Y-shaped prongs set over the edges in the shovel of the ski provide precise, powerful turn initiation, while the narrower metal shape in the tail of the ski provides the support you need for charging while still remaining manoeuvrable, forgiving, and easy to break free from turns.Correct Flexeliminates the overly stiff, mid-section typically found on shorter length skis, leaving a smooth and consistent flex profile optimized on every size from longest to shortest.eB tester’s comments: Claire (Milton Keynes) This ski was really fun to ski. It was very poppy and just does what you want it to do.Size (cm)Tip Width (mm)Waist Width (mm)Tail Width (mm)Radius (m)Weight (g)1521308911410.9.158130891141216261641308911413.11757General InformationSkier Ability: Advanced|expertRocker: Tip/Tail RockerRadius: ShortBindings: Ski sold flatDIN: n/aConstruction: Semi SidewallCore: WoodDemo: No [Full Details]
