ski graphics are always gonna be subjective, but who cares when it really comes down to what matters: while you're actually skiing. The Outsiders are still the same shape/construction as before, easily one of my favorite skis and personally I dig this years graphic, especially the silhouette on the nose

Maybe I'll warm up to this graphic but it is really awkward to me. At least I like it better than last year's which was a collage of grayscale photos. I generally like Surface's designs though. And I love my Outsiders.

I will say they look better in person with bindings covering a lot of that negative space in the middle, but yeah, Outsiders rule

This. I found that a lot of ski graphics that I have hated but bought anyway because of the quality of the ski turned out to not be that bad and I warmed up to them. These almost seem like they have some throwback elements to the old surface topsheets.

Looks like they had 3 ok designs and decided to make 1 ugly ski using all 3.

These will forever be my favorite and I will continue to cling to and repair my One Lifes until they are absolutely unskiable
