fischer seems to have an ever improving line...as their race line is awesome...i rode the watea 84 last year and it was a rocket...impressed me very much so, i havnt heard to many good things about their twin line though.

on3p seems to have a small(but ever growing) and good reputation. i have been interested in the past about ordering a ski from them and as long as the reputation continues might do so in a few years when my finances settle down.

i have heard great things from prior skis however have not rode them myself. to bad that they dont push the product on ns more as it seems to be a very core, ground up type operation.

I think elan is a lot underated in freeski world .. i think it's because they don't sponsorise so many comp and have no film and no rider that we se anywhere ( or not at all) but i ride elna fopr first ski and i love it

well i've heard they make stiff ass skis. i've never felt a pair myself but it would make sense as they are a racing company.

that could be why, since NS seems to love soft skis

Armada is hardly underrated. I think they have an outstanding product and an outstanding reputation and following.
Moment is truly underrated.
4Frnt just needs to start making better skis out of better materials.
I don't really know about the rest.

spot on, especially armada. i think they make a quality product and really promote the sport, but i wouldn't say they're underrated.

Moment was, now i think everyone knows they rock

Surface is nothing special

Amplid looks like it has very promising skis.

I can't really decide if any ski companies are underrated.

Faction.

They make some quality skis. It's too bad that they aren't sold in ski shops all over the world. SOme of the best sticks I have ever ridden.

How many people on here that have said amplid have actually skied them?

Line, although a huge company, has a load of talented skiers that a super underrated. Will Wesson, although it might change after turbo, is insane at skiing in general. There product is innovative, and only a select few might know what Im referring to.

Salomon for sure... haha

Ninthward, Amplid, Moment and Movement

And has anyone tried the Palmers? I know their boards are sick and they are trying to tap the NS market but as incredibly expensive as they are, I'm just wondering if they are worth a mention here???
