Chetlers and J skis always look sick.

But aside from those, the new Volkl Revolt 121 looks nice.

Call me a basic fuck but the Unknown Pleasures Blend might be my favorite ski graphic ever.

I might be biased cause I own a pair but Vishnu wet/wide+ supercar graphic looks real good and has only grown on me.

Dude they sorta transcend "ski culture" in a way that other sick graphics dont really do, not taking anything away from top sheets geared towards people that love skiing and the culture but it's cool to see a ski that ANYONE thinks is sick

Easily one of my favorite topsheets. Hands down changed the game in terms of ski designs.

There's probably some recency bias on my end, but I think the flaming scooters & palm trees of this year's Frankenski is my all-time fav.

There's been a lot of great graphics over the years. Here's some classics I think are very much missing from this conversation

For this year there's no competition. The Faction Prodigy 3.0X is a winner - trying very hard to not buy a pair because I really don't need another pair of skis :D Just because these are way too beautiful.


The 2.0X is hella nice too:
