Bluemoris has been developing it for 10 years as BLUE LAB PROJECT, with the mission of creating completely new skis from scratch, embodying the idea of "short fat skiing." The challenges they have accumulated up until now have a solid foundation been completed, and the Short Fat Ski Series will be launched as the [BLUEMORIS SYNAPSE PROJECT], starting from the 2025-26 season.
In this lineup, POLARIS has been added to classic models such as the ΩUNCHAIN and Ω for the 2025-26 season. "RE:PRIM" has been powered up, and "RAPTOR" has been revived. To break the preconceived notion that powder must be thick and long skis, we've got the fun of short fat! That's how it proposes.

Innovative! "RAPTOR" that allows you to switch left and right
Among them, "RAPTOR" made a comeback with a unique shape, and was attracting attention at test drive events during the season. This is because it is obvious that this model is asymmetrical, but although it is asymmetrical, the left and right are usually fixed, but you can even switch left and right to ride.
This will change the length of the effective edges of the in-edge and out-edge due to the difference in the shape of the tail. It naturally has a completely different ride feel, allowing you to enjoy it as if you were holding two boards on one car.
Although it is a minimalist length of 170cm for a powder machine, its characteristics are demonstrated in Japan's non-compressed snow zone, where quick turns are required, and its off-road performance is excellent. This is a product that SYNAPSE PROJECT has been proud of, created by craftsmen, from shape to materials.
Staff Shiomi introduced us to "RAPTOR" at the '25-26 New Model Test Drive (@Myoko Kogen Ski Resort) held in March.
Bluemoris Co., Ltd. was founded in 1923 and has a long history of 100 years in Aomori, Tohoku. As a long-established manufacturer in the Japanese ski world, we have been developing and testing with Mt. Hakkoda as our home field, and have focused on making the best skis for Japan's snowy mountains. Taking advantage of the geographical advantage, we have a diverse lineup of skis for backcountry and tours, as well as racing skis, moguls, and snow hiking boards. It is characterized by a unique shape born from a free idea that is not bound by fixed concepts.
