ADDIKT PRO 66 & 76 Series | SALOMON

◆Official website: https://salomon.jp/

The skis feature Motion Tail technology, which improves flex for better maneuverability and a smoother feel in the latter stages of turns. They also feature blade technology, which is also used in race skis, making them easier to flex and allowing for speedy turns. All of this, with bindings included, is a bargain at ¥176,000 (tax included)!

BACON SHORTY | LINE

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

We recommend these skis to anyone who wants to try fat skiing, powder riding, or anything else that would like to try using thick skis. If you're not ready to jump straight into buying a full-fledged ski, why not give them a try?

MINDBENDER 106C｜K2

◆Official website／ https://elevateoutdoorcollective.com/brands/k2-skis?lang=ja

These skis can be used seamlessly regardless of snow quality, conditions, or skiing style. To sum it up simply, these skis are so versatile that you won't have to worry about which skis to bring with you during the season. Of course, if you pair them with lightweight bindings, you can use them without any worries even when long touring is possible in the spring

RECKONER 92｜K2

◆Official website／ https://elevateoutdoorcollective.com/brands/k2-skis?lang=ja

I recommend this board for beginners with a waist over 90mm, as well as for those entering the park. It's so easy to ride that even beginner skiers can handle it. I think it's a board that can be used by a wide range of levels

 REDSTER X5 | ATOMIC

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

You can try out these skis that are comparable to high-end models at a mid-range price. They are a popular choice that sells all season long

REDSTER X7i Revoshock C｜ATOMIC

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

This model is equipped with a carbon fiber REVOSHOCK. It costs over 100,000 yen, but it is easy to handle for both men and women, has a wide waistband, and is rigid, so I think it is a versatile bike that can also be used to improve your technique

AREA 91｜CANDIDE SKIS

Even though these skis are produced by the famous Candide brand, they offer great value at just ¥96,800 (tax included)! This is a new ski that will be available from the 2025-2026 season, so be sure to check it out. These park skis from CANDIDE have a 91mm center. We highly recommend them!

RESORT101｜CANDIDE SKIS

◆Official website: https://www.candide.co/

This is a slimmer model among CANDIDE's skis. However, with a waist of 101mm, it's a truly all-around ski that can be used in both park and powder, and the price of 105,600 yen (tax included) is really cheap

REVOLT 96｜VÖLKL

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

The REVOLT 96 is well-balanced for skiers who don't want to limit themselves to a particular genre and want to try out different situations with one ski. It's also capable of carving on groomed runs, allowing for freestyle fun and even a little powder! This is the ski that will satisfy those desires. In that sense, it also offers excellent value for money

SYNAPSE RE:PRIM｜BLUEMORIS

◆Official website: https://bluemoris.com/

These all-mountain skis can be purchased for around 80,000 yen including tax. At 162cm long, they're easy for even beginner skiers to try, and even first-time all-mountain skiers won't be intimidated by them. They're a unique ski that can be enjoyed on-piste and in powder up to 60cm deep, but are also best skied on the slush of spring skiing!

They're firm and taut, and don't feel difficult, making them a ski that can be enjoyed by people of all ages and genders. Rider Kono even commented that they're such high-performance skis that "I could trust them to the skis even in mountain rescue situations!"
