ADDIKT PRO 66 + MI12 GW|D=120-66-104mm (163cm)|L=149, 156, 163, 170cm|R=12m (163cm)|¥176,000

◆Official Website: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, making it a fun ride like a jet plane

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!

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 turns, and I felt like I was riding a demo board!

NEVER|4FRNT

Never|D=130-104-120mm (184cm)|L=170, 177, 184, 190cm|R=22m (184cm)|¥200,200 (Includes POMOCA FREE PRO)

◆Official Website: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

PANDRA 99|D=130-99-120mm|L=149, 156, 163, 170, 177, 184cm|R=18.0m (177cm)|¥104,500

◆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

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

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 Website: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

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

This is a rare board made by directly bonding the core material to the stainless steel. It is a lightweight and rigid board, and its edge grip is also unique. If you are looking for a unique board for recreational use, give it a try

Except for extremely hard snow conditions on the slopes, this ski is fun for carving turns. Its most striking feature is the slow flex and the gradual torque it provides. Simply put, you can enjoy leisurely carving turns.

Compared to 80mm waist skis from alpine manufacturers, the Zephyr may also be characterized by its less rigid feel at the edges. Rather than focusing on speed, it's a very enjoyable ski for exploring the terrain on the slopes or for gracefully playing with centrifugal force.
