    UFO 115

    Newschoolers' Quick Review: "This ski is an exceptional addition to someone's quiver who is looking for a soft snow oriented ski that's very fun to ski and oriented more towards being playful than going fast and big. We would recommend it to people who are going to be using it much like we did...

    UFO 105

    Newschoolers' Quick Review: These skis sit in that weird middle ground of not really a park ski but not quite a powder only ski. These really are a true all-mountain option. They carve well, they float and they are fun for jibbing. So the UFO is situated in a really good spot for those who like...

    UFO 95

    Newschoolers' Quick Review: The UFO 95 is one of the more different feeling skis I’ve tried for the Roofbox. I actually hated them at first, the flex was very different to most skis I try and the directional shape threw me off. But once I got used to them, they became perhaps my favorite ski of...

    The Odyssey

    “Our unique approach to a completely symmetrical all-mountain / jib ski, The Odyssey utilizes a mellow “3-stage” rocker [4º] to increase float in/through snow of any condition combined with positive underfoot camber increasing stability and responsiveness on hard pack. This ski also features a...

    Chronic

    Specs and Tech: The Line Chronic sports a 95mm waist, early taper, and generous camber running most of the length of the ski with very mellow, early rise tips/tails. Both the tip and tail splay are markedly low, and the tip/tail angle is as well. Weighted, the entire ski is very close to...

    Blend

    Specs and Tech The new Blend has been tweaked slightly from previous versions but much remains the same too. Yes, it’s still 100 underfoot, but that is fairly normal for a park ski now. The main change comes to the sidecut and contact points, both of which are pushed forward. The old Blend...

    Honey Badger

    Specs and Tech First, a few words about the shape and profile. On paper these are a rockered park ski, with 3mm rise tip/tail and 3mm camber underfoot. Unweighted, mine had very little rocker to speak of and a lot more camber than that. The most obvious characteristic of the Honey Badger...

    Tom Wallisch Pro

    I did not expect to like these skis. Narrow, pretty stiff, and with moderate rocker splay, they really didn't tick any of the boxes of skis I normally like. However, taking a step back and thinking as objectively as I can, they are the best pure park ski I've skied in a long, long time. They...

    Magnus 90

    These skis were a bit of a revelation to me. They were the first 'narrow' park skis I've really liked. Despite what Magnus might make it look like these are pretty stiff skis, and yet serious amounts of rocker make them playful nonetheless. They have been softened a little over the years, so if...

    PLUS

    A new series for this season, the Plus skis are simply stiffer versions of the skis you already know and love. Available in the Wet 177 and 183 and the Wide 183, the Plus keeps the fun and nimble aspects of our skis with a thicker core for more stability and better landings on jumps. If the Wet...

    Revolt 104

    If we had a single winner of 'best of the 2021 test' it'd be the Volkl Revolt 104. All 4 of us loved this ski, which for the jib focused skier, pretty much redefines versatile. Near full rocker and a damp flex makes them good in mixed conditions, and the tapered shape borrowed from the wider...
