A project linked to " STEEP SKIBOOK I asked users at the new model test drive event. We introduce impressions from users that were unable to cover the magazine. A regular skier gives a genuine review of the popular skis from the 2025-26 season. Here, test drives will bring together multiple brands (models) each one to introduce.
BLASTRACK
BLASTRACK is a freeski brand from OGASAKA with a history of 110 years. With domestic craftsmanship and design optimized for Japanese snow quality, it boasts high performance and unique sliding ability.
"ELIXIR-L" review
BLASTRACK's lightest model, ELIXIR/L, has been revamped. It is light and has high stability, and its natural turn performance and operability can handle packed snow, uneven ground, and spring snow. It's easy to get tired even if you slip for a long time, making it ideal for telemarking.
It's so light that you can ski without getting tired all day long,
and as the name suggests, it's just as light! It's good for people who want to ski without getting tired all day long, but compared to the ELIXIR-E, it's lighter and slightly fluttering, so it's a bit of a pain when skiing rough snow or powder.

Bluemoris
Founded in 1923, the company developed skiing ideal for snowy mountains in Japan, based in Hakkoda, Aomori. With its diverse lineup and unique shape, it continues to evolve as a long-established brand that has been around for 100 years.
"S-POTION" review
The shape and design have been completely redesigned from last season's model. A new torsion box structure has been adopted, improving stability and operability. It provides outstanding stability even at high speeds and ice-bath. The model's concept is "stable operability that does not flutter when skiing."
that's light but stable and easy to use, so
you can ride calmly, and can't be repelled, but this board is also easy to use and makes it easy to maintain a close stance. It's light but stable and looks great even in spring snow.

Review of "PisteWorks94"
A freestyle all-mountain model that can be used from powder to parks. Titanium reinforcement improves rebound and stability, making it suitable for tough riding. It is popular as a versatile ski that combines playfulness and power.
I felt that this board was perfect for those who played the Alpine, and
it felt like the board would be easier to ride when riding in the back. It feels like the board is sticking to the snow.

"Agent 2" review
This ski combines a versatile center width with just the right top and tail locker, making it easy to climb and thrilling, making it an all-mountain/tour ring ski that can be used from the beginning of the season until spring. The combination of a Calba wood core and carbon weave (woven carbon material) allows you to enjoy a lightweight and light turn.

, for powder, but I really wanted this board, Agent 2, for spring grains.
