Bluemoris has been developing the "short fat ski" as part of the BLUE LAB PROJECT for 10 years, with the mission of creating a completely new ski from scratch. The challenges they have taken on so far have laid a solid foundation, and from the 2025-2026 season they will be launching a powerful short fat ski series as the BLUEMORIS SYNAPSE PROJECT
In the lineup, the classic models "ΩUNCHAIN" and "Ω" have been joined by the new POLARIS for the 2025-2026 season. The "RE:PRIM" has been upgraded, and the "RAPTOR" has been revived. In order to break the preconceived notion that powder skis must be long and thick, these skis offer the full enjoyment of short, fat skis!

Innovative! "RAPTOR" can be ridden on either side
Among them, the "RAPTOR" has been revived with a particularly unique form, attracting attention at test ride events during the season. This is because this model is clearly asymmetrical, but it is asymmetrical in that it can be ridden with either side reversed, whereas normally the left and right sides are fixed
The difference in tail shape causes the effective edge length of the inside and outside edges to change, which naturally results in a completely different riding feel, making it feel like you're riding two boards in one
Although its length of 170cm is the minimum for a powder ski, it excels in Japan's ungroomed snow zones where quick turns are required, and its off-road capabilities are outstanding. Crafted with meticulous attention to detail from the shape to the materials, this is a product of the SYNAPSE PROJECT
Staff member Shiomi introduced the RAPTOR at the 2025-2026 New Model Test Ride event held in March (at Myoko Kogen Ski Resort)
Bluemoris Co., Ltd. was founded in 1923 and has a long history spanning 100 years in Aomori, Tohoku. As a long-established manufacturer in the Japanese ski industry, they have focused on creating skis that are ideal for Japan's snowy mountains, developing and testing their products on their home ground of Mount Hakkoda. Taking advantage of their location, they offer a diverse lineup of skis for backcountry and touring, as well as racing, mogul, and snow hiking. Their unique shapes are born from free thinking that is not bound by stereotypes
