"The Revolt 121 sits somewhere between the pure jibby pow skis and the more directional fat chargers. It gives you a lot of the good sides of both without too many downsides if you're ok with the weight penalty." - Twig Click here to read our full review of the 2021 Volkl Revolt 121 | The...

The Atomic Backland 117 is the widest model in our Backland range, created with freeride pros like Sage Cattabriga-Alosa. Sporting both Carbon Backbone and Powder Rocker profile, it also features revolutionary HRZN Tech in the tip for more surface area and even better floatation. It’s wide...

The Gamer is the same ski as the old Black Ops 118, and it's a burly ski for skiers who charge hard. I personally find them too heavy, but I am 135lbs and tend to like lighter, poppier skis than these. With next to no taper and above-average weight for the sizing, I struggle with the...

The Faction CT 3.0 has its own cult following.

One of the standouts during the ski test week was K2 Reckoner 122. I haven't ridden the Marksman or the Catamaran so I can’t speak to its comparison to it’s older influences but I did find them to be very easy to manoeuvre right off the bat. I'm a skier who likes to ride very fast and these skis...

I found the Reckoner 112 to be a very agile ski. After detuning the tails I could get them the slash and pivot wherever I wanted. These don’t feel like the recently retired K2's, you can feel the drastic weight reduction, they won’t monster truck through variable snow but when skied with a more...
