Newschoolers Quick Review: The ARV 106 has been one of my favorites since it dropped a couple of years back and the new version is even better. When I'm not sure what conditions the trip I'm going on is going to throw at me (and I don't have something else I have to review). Perhaps the old ski was a touch (though t…
Newschoolers' Quick Review: The 116 is tons of fun. It's a fairly solid ski but still plenty playful. It isn't necessarily one for the big lines, but it'd be a great great choice for the park kid who wants to get jibby in the pow like THall or the dad who wants to have a more surfy style to their skiing in deep snow. …
Manufacturer's Description: Backcountry touring is exploding, and over the past few years our Backland series has proved super popular among new tourers, as well as a lot of seasoned pros. The reason for Backland’s popularity is that it’s strong and technical but still really easy to use. And this year w…
Newschoolers' Quick Review: The Bent Chetler is an icon of a ski. They're extremely surfy, float great and are very playful offering infinite buttery fun! They carve well, but they do chatter a more than other skis in the same bracket (ON3P Jeffrey 116, Volkl Bash 116.. even the Magnum Opus) however the new, lig…
Newschoolers' Quick Review: The 3.0 is a ski I've always thoroughly enjoyed testing. It's definitely improved over its gradual evolution and now carves excellently. The balsa/flax core provides enough stiffness for me to charge (5'9 and 140lbs) all the while being poppy, butterable and noticeably light in th…
Newschoolers' Quick Review: Although they are marketed as stiffer, to me, the generous rocker makes the 4.0 feel softer and more playful than the 3.0. They do a good job of being surfy and still carve well. For the size they are super light and handle variety much more easily than previous versions (pre-16/17…
Manufacturer's Description: Pro skier, Thayne Rich known for his award winning backcountry freestyle video segments in Level 1 has completely re-designed his ski for this year.

Manufacturer's Description: As one of Armada's cofounders, Tanner Hall, continues to push the boundaries of skiing form urban to powder, the Armada Magic J remains his go-to tool in deep conditions. Utilizing tip and tail rocker and a stiffer flex pattern, the Magic J remains predictable and confident in whatever yo…
Newschoolers' Quick Review: The Line Magnum Opus is an (almost) versatile superfat ski. So who actually needs such a thing? Well jibby skiers who live somewhere it snows a fuckload couldn't do much better. Less than super-gifted pow skiers who want to land switch and surf in fresh snow and need some help (AKA me) …
Newschoolers' Quick Review: They have the traditional surfy sidecut/profile of all Pollard skis but the stiffer nature of the ski does change things a little. They are much more comfortable in choppy snow and more stable on landings than either the wider Magnum or the narrower Bacon. They bridge the gap between th…
Manufacturer's Description: The ski that changed it all. With a massive footprint, soft flex, and plunging, knocked-out tail, the Pescado redefines what it means to ride a directional pow ski. Equipped with a Partly Cloudy Core and bamboo sidewalls, the Pescado continues to exist within a category all of it's own.
