ANIMA | BLACKCROWS

anima | D=14.5-11.5-13.5 (182.1cm) | R=19m (182.1cm) | L=176.6,182.1,189.2,194.4cm | ¥176,000

Powders these days often have a high amount of moisture, and light skis often lack the ability to break through. That's where "anima" appears. The ski (2,150g/176.6cm) is by no means light, but due to its weight, it can easily break through heavy powder. It has solid stability on slopes and packed burns, and the swing balance is also excellent.

If you're looking at backcountry as well, we recommend DPS bindings! The DPS F-15EVO's freeride spacer can firmly apply pressure to the skis, making it a great match with the "anima"!

The distinctive cosmetics tend to catch your eye, but they are actually well-made and when you slide them, you'll be amazed at how easy it is and how stable it is. (a) is the buoyancy power of deep powder, which is unique to its thickness! It's not just that it's easy to use with Pisteburn! Well done!! (B) is a ski that is even more alright than (B) and is truly an all-mountain ski!!

MAVERICK 105CTI|ATOMIC

MAVERICK 105CTI | D=132.5-104-121.5mm | R=18m (178cm) | L=170, 178, 185cm | ¥125, 290

It has built-in titanium and carbone seats, making it a pretty solid ski. This gives it an outstanding sense of stability on rough slopes, and even in powder scenes, the skis do not deflect too much, so this is a highly recommended car for aggressive skiers.

It's also my favorite!

This model can be used with snow quality in Honshu from December to March. It is heavier than other ATOMIC models, but it is also rigid, allowing you to enjoy stable gliding with less vibration. This board is perfect for enjoying stress-free sliding.

MINDBENDER 106C | K2

MINDBENDER 106C | D=138-106-127mm │R=18.9m (183cm) | L=169, 176, 183, 189cm │¥119,900

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

Easy-to-handle fat skis with a good feel to operate. I think this is a typical model of skis that allow you to play on the slopes and powder on one stick. With its not too powerful flex and light rebound of carbon, even if you choose a slightly longer size, you can enjoy aggressive sliding between leveling and powder with simple operations.

The key point is that it has a waist width of around 105mm, which is sharp and buoyant, and a mid-circumference radius that makes it easy to enjoy carving. If you keep this point in mind, I think there are many boards that are not just for this board, but also for a similar feel to them.

From slopes to powder, this one car offers over 80 points of fun in any day or any situation. With its moderate weight and sticky hardness, it can be used not only in the high season but also in heavy snow in early spring. The range of play is also wide, so if you're unsure, this is the perfect machine to make.

SEA 108 | SCOTT

SEA108 | D=139,108,128mm (184cm) | R=19m (184cm) | L=168,176,184,192cm | ¥150,150

◆ Official HP / https://www.scott-sports.com/jp/ja/

We believe that this ski is a ski that is easy to feel pleasure in all kinds of snow quality within Japan. These skis are very easy to use, with the exception of special ski styles, from season-in-season in December to season-out-season out-season until the end of May. What makes this possible is the balance between flex and torsion.

The strength of snow surface resistance that can be obtained varies greatly depending on the snow quality. Therefore, skis that are good at one condition tend to be less good at other conditions, but the "SEA108" is a ski that has come to an exquisite balance. The range of bindings is also quite wide. The wide range of versatility of the SEA108 is also possible to choose from depending on your own ski style and combination with the boots used.

I also recommend it!

"SEA108" goes great with snowy surfaces! The "bottom shape" of the top and tail work well, making it easy to turn without any trouble! What's more, the top and tail are supple, and the feet are metal and sturdy. This is another perfect balance. The naming is also cool, with "SKI EVERYWHERE ANYTIME" = SEA. He is truly the ultimate companion that can be enjoyed anywhere!

SENDER FREE 118 OPEN|ROSSIGNOL

SENDER FREE 118 OPEN | D=146-118-141mm | R=22m (176cm) | L=176, 186cm | ¥163,900

◆ Official HP / https://rossignol.co.jp/

It has excellent performance as a fat powder ski, with excellent ski control, and stable skiing performance. Some people may not like it because it is heavy, but I think this is what leads to high gliding and high off-roading ability. Rather than sliding around in the powder, it seems to have a sharp image of you sliding.

It is lightweight, but has the strength to be able to step on it firmly. It responds well after it has been moved, and it can move comfortably. On the other hand, it is also calm, making it easy to control turns, regardless of size, from small to large. It is not easily affected by changes in snow quality, so it can be a reliable companion in the difficult snow and terrain of the backcountry.

Amazing stability. The race room finish is made from the same material as racing skiing, making it highly capable of running even in rough conditions and slippery on any slope. One long turn feels amazing!

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

The "VISON114" has a thick shape but is lightweight. I chose this ski because I thought it would be something that could be used for both men who step on and slide hard, and men who are not very confident in their power. It is sure to be useful on slopes, side country, and backcountry. The slightly strong nose rocker creates buoyancy with powder, making it highly operable. This ski is also recommended for those who want to try the backcountry from the slopes.
