One of the pro shop's strengths is its ability to evaluate products from multiple perspectives and compare numerous brands based on the wealth of knowledge it has accumulated, trials on snow, and feedback from users. Skiing strongly reflects the selection and commitment unique to a pro shop. In fact, during the season, we actually compared the new model at the test ride event, and added unbeatable expertise to the feedback from the shop's regular customers.

Eric Pollard's brand season. It was scheduled to be released in Japan from the season after the 2022-23 season, but due to the overwhelming popularity, it will be available from the next season. Come to our shop! Swallowtail and cool. When I touched it, it was soft, and the image is similar to LINE's Sakana. Anyway, it looks fine. It's a rather good price, but it's topical enough, and it seems that the number of units entering Japan is very small. It looks like it's going to be like first come first served.

It has buoyancy in powder, and while it is possible to make large turns at high speed, it also has high carving performance in leveling, so it can handle everything from slopes to BC with one.

The fun is unique. Swallowtail's unique turn is addictive. Recommended for those who like the snap feeling in the second half of the turn.

2021 season ICELANTIC's first professional model SABA PRO NIA PRO!
was released and was well received. A true PRO model filled with the know-how of riders around the world, not the signature of a specific rider! In the 2022 season, such PRO models will be released in three models, two for SABA and one for NIA. Among them, the SABA PRO 117 has a waist width of 117mm and a reflective rocker (full rocker) that gives the impression of off-piste skiing. But where is it! It is the ultimate ski that you can ski anywhere as easily as a tank, regardless of snow surface conditions, turn arcs, skiers (level, gender, etc.)! I was honestly surprised! However, since it is a full locker, it is necessary to be conscious of taking SKI away from yourself without working strangely! !

A model equipped with the "Tour Rock Skin System" born from the bold idea of drilling holes for fixing seals on skis. Developed by Eric Jorefson, who is also known as Hoji, not only does it prevent the seal from slipping or peeling off when climbing hills, but the seal can be shorter than usual, so it is not bulky in the rucksack, and the weight of the seal is reduced to about 10%. 500 grams lighter. Of course, it comes with a pre-cut sticker POMOCA FREE PRO2.0.

Recommend: ski pro shop PisteLightweight tour skis, which are often found in lightweight tour skis, are surprisingly suppressed in There was something surprising about the performance that even had an exhilarating feeling of getting out. On the other hand, it can be said that it is one of the few skis that is easy to handle even for women and weak people.
It can be used as a light carving semi-fat ski in the high season, and side country is no problem. Skiing that I definitely want to take to the backcountry after early spring. The cute banana-colored design is fresh, but I was surprised by the depth of performance that goes beyond lightness and kindness.

Mr. Yoshihiro Murai, Advisor
Recommend: COMPASS HOUSE nose is 139mm same as ARMADA JJ, center 100mm, square tail, and R is quite strong. The flex pattern is slightly stiffer in the nose and softer in the tail. The feature is that it bends easily, so you can carve a finer turn than R. It is one that can be enjoyed in various ways, such as cruising on the slopes and playing with the terrain in spring.

Paddle club Nagoya freeride model, but it has a lightweight design, and it is possible to preserve physical strength enough for climbing, which is an important factor in the backcountry. In addition, the know-how cultivated through racing has been carefully considered for gliding performance, and in addition to high-speed stability, it creates a sense of stability in all types of snow, such as powder and granules, and is able to handle fluctuations in snow quality and slope conditions. It is a ski that shows its true value in a scene where the changes are intense.

TOYRU is a powder ski with excellent turn performance! The famous Genius for powder has been slimmed down to make it easier to handle. The carving performance in powder snow, which is the characteristic of Genius, the sense of speed, and the turn controllability are kept as they are, and the ease of handling in non-powder snow is improved. It supports all conditions such as hard burn and leveling. The sharpness of GS skis in powder and the shedding of the board is irresistible! For skiers who want quality turns even in the backcountry!

Denkraft and fishbone-like metal. Therefore, it is a little heavy, but its weight gives a sense of stability. There is a BLADE in the model above this, but you can enjoy this BLADE95, which has a slightly lower grade to slide lightly. New women's models BLADE W and BLADE 92 have been added this season, but this one is recommended for senior men who are not confident in their physical strength.

Recommend:
PeakPerformance Jiyugaoka racing boards for a long time, so I like boards with a solid core and good edge grip. The QST106 has a center width that can attack both slopes and powder, making it very easy to handle, and although it is lightweight, it bites the snow without going wild even at high speed on piste. It is especially recommended as a versatile ski that can be used from on-piste to off-piste.

OFF-1 This is the 22nd model that has undergone a major renewal, so I highly recommend it. Cost performance is very good as an entry model for free skiing. From the 22 model, the foot has a sidewall structure, so it has been updated to an all-mountain board that is not only fun but also good for sliding. As a result, I had been wearing all-rounders for leveling until now, but I chose this because I thought it would be an opportunity for me to try various new things, such as sliding on the side of the powder or sliding backwards. The topsheet is also made of a non-scratch material, so the cool graphics last longer.

NATURAL PRODIGY 1.0, which has been continuously updated for the best performance.
With more repulsive force, you can fly rhythmically like a bouncing jumper or big kicker. It also has good shock absorption when landing and greatly reduces the impact, so you can enjoy flying with all your might.
It is a board that the more advanced you are, the more you want to play pop outside the park! As an aside, the best position is 1-1.5cm back from True Center☆

OFF-1 As a standard twin-tip ski that you can enjoy on the slopes all-round, if you are unsure, this is the board for you. The not-too-thick center has a sharp glide and a light swing weight, so even people who used to wear general all-around models that are suitable for leveling can easily get on and enjoy freestyle play. It is a model that is known to core park users, but I would like to recommend it to those who want to challenge tricks from now on.

Tyrolean twin tip allows you to play using terrain that allows you to choose snow quality and slopes. Moderate rocker allows free operation from carving to drifting. The tail floats even in bad snow, so it's easy to slip. The graphics are also tense.
