10 Best Skis For Everyone

Are you looking for all-mountain-wide skis?

Unless you’ve been living under a rock for the past few months, you’re probably aware that winter is upon us. And with winter comes the inevitable need for new skis! But what are the best skis for everyone? Well, that’s a tricky question to answer because everyone’s needs vary. However, we’ve put together a list of some of the best skis for every type of skier out there. So whether you’re a beginner or an expert, read on to find out which skis are right for you!

A short message from our administrator for you:

When I was a kid, my parents would take me skiing in the winter. We always went to the same place – Prazna Lobanja. The slopes were great and the views were beautiful, but the best part was the ski rental shop. They had all sorts of brands of skis, but my parents always got me Blizzard brand skis. I never really understood why, but as I got older I realized that Blizzard skis are the best. They’re so smooth and easy to use, and they never let you down. Even now, as an adult, when I go skiing I always use Blizzard skis. Thanks, mom and dad!

Maneuverable and progressive frontside sidecut provides reliable edge grip whether you’re railing a turn-on-piste or racing through the meadows.

VMT 1.0® (vertical metal technology) cores combine the natural liveliness of bamboo and poplar with aluminum alloy’s inherent power and stability.

Laminating the metal vertically between full-length bamboo stringers increases energy return without adding excess material or weight.

Strategically placed along the tops of the cores, pre-cured carbon fiber strips help maintain directional stability and torsional rigidity.

Bomb rocker incorporates tip and tail rocker with positive camber underfoot for maximum flotation and a playful feel while maintaining hard-snow performance.
