I'll tell you "the best-selling ski this winter ('24-25)" and why it's so popular?

Spring skiing is at the end, and before the season goes out, let's look back at the 24-25 season. I asked the pro shop, "What was the best-selling skiing last season?" Additionally, they asked them to analyze the reasons. Before early reservations for the next '25-26 season begin in earnest, get acquainted with last year's trends!

*Comments are not limited to the actual number of items sold, but include "there was the most moving" and "there was the most inquiries from customers." The prices are also from the 24-25 seasons.

ATOMIC｜BACKLAND 102

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

The attractive feature is its cost-effectiveness. Although it is lightweight, it can be used all-rounder regardless of snow quality, making it an easy-to-recommended ski for anyone who is looking to start backcountry or for ages.

ATOMIC | BENT 100

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

It is a very popular item because of its high recognition and good actual ride quality. Although it is lightweight, it is quite stable, and is a recommended vehicle for anyone, regardless of who or level of riding it, so it works well.

ARMADA | ARV Series

◆ Official HP / https://armadaskis.jp/

You can ski anything! You can choose the center width according to your preference. I think it's good to be able to use it in a wide range of ways, from slopes to parks and side country. Our shop is in Hyogo Prefecture and mainly has a slope surface filled with compact snow. I think this ARV series was a match for the Kansai ski resort.

BLACK CROWS | MIRUS COR

◆ Official HP / https://www.hasco.co.jp/black-crows/

This ski has a unique shape and length, but a short radius, and has features that have never been seen before, and combined with ease of use, it sold a large number of units. The price is a little more expensive than the average ski, but once you ride it you can't leave! All the skiers who rode at the test drive event said, "The best!"

BLASTRACK｜ELIXER-L

◆ Official HP / https://www.blastrack.jp/

SALOMON | STANCE 84

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

Another bottle sold as SALOMON's "STANCE84" and the other one from BLASTRACK. Apart from the need for non-packed snow, BC, and freeride, this is a sign of the need for ordinary skiers to ski comfortably on the slopes, rather than demo models.

FACTION｜DANCER series

◆ Official HP / https://jp.factionskis.com/

Everyone has a desire to go beyond the categories of free skiing and basic skiing, regardless of age or gender, and enjoy skiing itself. When you see a board that can only be seen at specialty stores, the DANCER series simply asks, "Cool!" Unlike the demo board, it is easy to get a sense of affinity with the non-specialized form like the park board, and is actually extremely easy to use, making it the most popular model last season!

LINE｜VISION 114

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

I think you want to easily slide powder, or make your hikes lighter in BC (backcountry). However, I think it's not just lightweight, but also has high gliding properties.

VAN DEER-Red Bull Sports | SL WORLDCUP 165cm

◆Official website/ https://vandeer-redbull-sports.com/

This is the only ski that can be used to ride the same skis as the world's top athletes, including Marcel Hillscher, Simon Hagan, and Henrik Christophersen! Of course, the performance is outstanding, with the edges and board reversal that pursue speed, making this a perfect car, all at the highest level.

ZUMA | MIY

◆Official website/ https://swallow-ski.com/brand/

It has a good balance between trendy semi-fat shape, ultra-lightweight and soft flex, selling price, design and various designs, making it easy to access for a wide range of purposes, from powder and all-mountain use to parks and freelancers, and perhaps because it is a unisex model, it gives the impression that it was picked up by both men and women.

The model itself for "MIY" has not changed since last year, but the atmosphere of the design has changed dramatically, so that may have led to a response.
