ADDIKT series | SALOMON

◆ Official HP / https://salomon.jp/

This is already the third season for this model, and I was initially surprised by its unique ride. It's light and nimble, yet stable even at high speeds, and when you release the weight a little in the latter half of a turn, it feels even faster, like a jet plane, making it a fun ride

BLEND｜LINE

◆Official website/ https://elevateoutdoorcollective.com/brands/line-skis?lang=ja

This softness is on another level! The 2025-2026 season sees a complete redesign of the shape and construction. I've never experienced such flex before!

ET-9.8｜OGASAKA

◆Official website/ https://www.ogasaka-ski.co.jp/

From the shape and rocker, I had the impression that it was oriented towards freestyle, but I was surprised by its performance on groomed runs. It easily handled the modern, quick turning movements, and I felt like I was riding a demo board!

NEVER｜4FRNT

◆ Official HP / https://4frnt.com/

The NEVER is the first camber model in the 4FRNT 4-LOCK series. When read backwards, it spells "REVEN," making it the opposite of the REVEN. It's an all-around ski that's great for cruising the slopes, powder, and bad snow, and its ride feels completely different from the 4FRNT's previous image. It's easy to handle even for backcountry beginners, and it comes with climbing skins, so it's a great choice for those unsure which ski to pick!

PANDORA Series | LINE

◆Official website/ https://elevateoutdoorcollective.com/brands/line-skis?lang=ja

The Pandora has been available as a unisex model since the 2024-2025 season. Previously, it was a lightweight and easy-to-handle women's model, but now it feels like it has added stability. The Pandora 99 and Pandora 106 are especially recommended for men. You can feel the rebound when you step on the ski, and the flexible flex of the core material is impressive. They are also great for powder riding and backcountry skiing

PROFESSOR 101 | RMU

◆Official SNS／ https://www.instagram.com/rmujapan/

The shape is similar to a twin-tip center mount, so it's naturally good for flying and playing around on terrain. Not only that, the solid construction underfoot makes it surprisingly good for sliding, making it a versatile all-rounder that can be used all day on the mountain in any snow condition. Recent RMUs are made in Sweden, and the precision of their products has improved dramatically

REVOLT 101｜VÖLKL

◆Official website/ https://elevateoutdoorcollective.com/brands/volkl-skis?lang=ja

I felt that the carving and shifting control was good, making it a board that would make skiing even more fun

VA-DT | BLASTRACK

◆ Official HP / https://www.blastrack.jp/

With a fairly wide waist width of 120mm, these skis look like they're specifically designed for powder, but when you ride them on the slopes, they bite in well from the top and are smooth in the latter half of turns. They're incredibly maneuverable and carving is a breeze, making it hard to believe they have a 24m radius. The balance between flex and torsion feels just right

---

SL ｜VANDEER RedBull Sports

◆Official website/ https://vandeer-redbull-sports.com/

Once you experience the light yet firm edge hold, you'll be hooked. The feeling of grip from the first half of the turn to the peak of the turn, and the release that connects to the next turn in the second half is a feeling you won't find anywhere else

---

VOLANT series | ATOIMC

◆ Official HP / https://atomicsnow.jp/

This is a rare board made by directly bonding the core material to the stainless steel. It is a lightweight and strong board, and its edge grip is also unique. If you are looking for a unique board for fun, try this one out

Zephyr | RMU

◆Official SNS／ https://www.instagram.com/rmujapan/

These skis are fun to carve on the slopes, except in extremely hard snow conditions. An impressive feature is the way they flex slowly, allowing you to feel the torque slowly. Simply put, you can enjoy carving turns at a leisurely pace.

Another feature of the Zephyr is that it doesn't feel as rigid at the edges as 80mm waist skis from alpine manufacturers. Rather than going fast, these skis are great fun for enjoying the terrain on the slopes and for elegant centrifugal play.

PRODIGY 2 | FACTION

This is a board that will help you push forward in any situation!
