"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.

A global brand that pursues high performance in all aspects of skis, boots, and bindings, and has contributed to the formation of freeride culture, this season's noteworthy skis are reviewed by ordinary skiers with their honest opinions.

Review of "ADDIKT PRO76"

ADDIKT PRO 76 + MI12 GW|D=125-76-109mm (170cm)|R=14m (170cm)||L=156, 163, 170, 177cm|¥176,000

Skiers who love carving turns will instantly fall in love with this latest on-piste model. With its innovative Motion Tail technology and narrow waist, it's responsive and allows for precise, clean turns, both short and long

Exceptional lightness and maneuverability.
I've ridden many boards from other companies, but compared to them, this one felt overwhelmingly lighter, had excellent maneuverability, and was easy to ride, allowing for quick turns and movements. However, I felt like the nose would get stuck if I put too much weight on it.

Review of "DEPART1.0"

DEPART 1.0│D=140-106-128mm(180cm)|R=15m(180cm)|L=170,180cm|¥132,000 

The lightweight poplar and birba wood core with titanium reinforcement provides both poplar and stability. The rocker shape and 15m turning radius provide high maneuverability, allowing for free-form, creative gliding. This next-generation freestyle model is perfect for both off-park and off-park riding

This board is perfect for all-mountain riding. It
's lightweight and offers excellent maneuverability underfoot, yet it's resistant to bumps and rough terrain, making it easy to try out tricks and other maneuvers.

Review of the "S/RACE PRIME SL"

S/RACE PRIME SL|D=119-66-104㎜|R=13m|L165=㎝|¥181,500 

These powerful competition skis have a 13m turning radius, allowing for sharp carving turns regardless of the slope conditions. They feature SALOMON's innovative Blade technology, which provides stability underfoot while maintaining moderate agility for quick turns

the downhill sections, allowing for sharp
cuts in the first half of turns. It enables carving like it's in the peak season, even in spring snow. It might be a little hard on moguls, though.
