"STEEP SKIBOOK". We asked users at a new model test ride event. We introduce user impressions that couldn't be fully covered in the magazine.

RANGER 96 review
Each model is equipped with "Shaped Titanium" of different lengths and depths, making these freeride models both maneuverable and stable. They maintain high stability and are easy to control in any condition
High off-road capability;
seems capable of traversing even rough terrain stably. It's a bit stiff for women, requiring strong leg strength.

Each model features a "Shaped Titanium" with different lengths and depths, making this a versatile freeride model that combines maneuverability and stability. It's extremely versatile, allowing for easy and agile turns in any condition
Its maneuverability was unaffected by snow conditions
, making it easy to handle and allowing me to ski smoothly even in poor snow conditions. It was also easy to make tight turns.

Each model is equipped with "Shaped Titanium" of different lengths and depths, making this a freeride model that combines maneuverability and stability. It makes turn initiation easy and delivers outstanding performance in powder
The metal accents at the foot
area provide a nice contrast. The tip and tail are soft. It looks like it could even be ridden telemark.

The now-on-sale "STEEP SKI BOOK 2025" features reviews from 106 people, including professional and amateur skiers!
This impression project was participated in by 106 skiers, from riders receiving support to the general public. Find the skis you've been interested in and explore the sensory aspects that can't be measured by specs alone. We also tracked detailed information about the test riders, such as what gear they usually use, where they ski, and their height, weight, and physique. Reading the impressions with that information in mind should give you a clearer picture. Furthermore, if you're a skier, you can watch the skiers ski downhill on Instagram or YouTube. Gather information from multiple angles and have fun agonizing over the process to choose the best skis
