Nordica
4.4
(33)
"I just bought the 108s and took them out for a test last weekend and was seriously impressed."
"Enforcer 89 is an awesome ski. I’m an East coast skier and have them."
"Enforcer 99! I have the 2024 Enforcer 100… amazing ski… it literally does everything."
"I ve skied the Nordica Enforcer for a few years and they are a great all-mountain, all-conditions ski."
"The Enforcer 104 is the best choice"
"I'll second the enforcers. Pretty aggressive ski that can handle east Coast crud/ice but has the shape and width to have a nice float in powder."
"Volkl kendo/mantra 88
Nordica enforcer free 104 is also rock solid in a wider waist
The enforcers in general are solid
I’ve got both for different conditions. Love em"
"(My new Enforcer 94s are crazy stable for an all"
"I’ll throw in Nordica Unleashed 98 too. Great all mountain ski but can absolutely rip a groomer quite nicely"
"Enforcer 99/100. There is a reason it's so popular."

"DEATHWISH 104
IF YOU DISAGREE U R WRONG"
"Love me the Rustler 10, stiffer and more stable than a Bent but not as demanding as a fully metal charger."
"Rustlers are such a great ski. I have the 10s. I’ve recommended to my friends and two of them got the 9s and love em."
"I got the rustler 11 mantras are awesome for just about everything and the rustler will get you through the deep powder"
"The rustler line is great, not the most “powerful” ski there is but they are super fun while still being more stable and damp than the bents. I recommend the rustler 10’s to everyone who “doesn’t really know what to buy”"
"Cant go wrong with Rustler 10 for an all rounder with an off piste focus."
"The Mantras will ski through vs on top, but you won’t find any chatter at almost any speed. Highly highly recommend demoing them both."
"Try the Rustler 10's. Great all mountain ski, good in powder and the trees, turns very well in tight spaces and is a solid ski on groomers and ice."
"Yeah I have this year s wildcat in 108. I would highly recommend if you had to pick one."
"My commander 108s are still in good shape, so I'd only buy more if I destroy my current ones."

Armada

(17)
"I love my Armada Declivity 102 Ti at crystal"
"Just bought a pair of Armada Declivity 92TI and they absolutely rip."
"Montero AR."
"I love my Armada declivity 92ti Absolute beasts."
"Mantra, declivity, or stance. I’d also throw in enforcer, anomaly, or mindbender, but they skew toward the heavier end of the spectrum."
"Armada Declivity, either 92 or 102 Ti"
"I FUCKING LOVE my Armada Declivity 92TI. After trying the mindbenders, ripsticks, unleashed and QSTs, sender souls, a whole shit ton of different skis…the Declivity just clicked."
"The new Armadas are great. QST lineup is fantastic for all around conditions."
"When you bring Santa Ana 93 into play, the Sheeva 9 isn't far, and the graphics are sick!"
"Santa Ana 97 if you want an aggressive ski."

Völkl

(17)
"I own the Mantra 88s and very recently bought the Atomic Maverick 88 TIs to compliment them. Honestly, after learning and skiing the Volkls many times, I could not go back to the Mavericks."
"If I was to pick one pair to ski the rest of my life, I'd go with the M7 as it can do it all."
"Mantra 88 is definitely a bit more demanding, but not too much bc their tech actually works well."
"If you’re going Volkl do the Mantra 88. Wonderful edge hold on hardpack + the tail’s easy to release."
"Their slightly narrower sibling, the mantra 88 (used to be called Kendo). I love them."
"Mantra, declivity, or stance. I’d also throw in enforcer, anomaly, or mindbender, but they skew toward the heavier end of the spectrum."
"Mantra, declivity, or stance. I’d also throw in enforcer, anomaly, or mindbender, but they skew toward the heavier end of the spectrum."
"Specifically; Mantra 102s."
"Volkl Mantra 88."
"Volkl Mantra being often mentioned as one of the best all mountain skis out there."

Blizzard
4.5
(13)
"I absolutely love them and think they're the perfect PNW all mountain skis."
"The quick solution for crud and some fresh, dense snow is a wider pair of skis with a nice suspension. K2 Mindbender 99ti, Volkl Mantra, Blizzard Anomaly 102, etc."
"Blizzard Rustler 10s are basically the same ski, but better in every category"
"Blizzard anomaly 88"
"I really liked the Anomaly too, demoed the 88 and it is truly a fun, carving oriented all mountain ski."
"Blizzard anomaly. More forgiving than the Brahma that it replaced. All mountain, lays down fat carves."
"These and the Blizzard Anomaly"
"If you like the QST, try the Blizzard Rustler 10s or if you mostly ski Utah, the rustler 11s"
"Blizzard Anomaly 88. Or then wider on-piste ski, like Nordica Steadfast DC."
"Anomaly 88 for sure."
#6
Salomon
4.8
(11)
"Some skis to that could be good choice are Salomon QST 100(new model) or 98(order model)"
"I would go with Solomon Stance 84. Mine are 159 and I couldn’t recommend more."
"Have and love my Qst 92s!"
"Another ski to consider that hasn't been mentioned is a salomon qst 92. Still damp and stable on piste and of the options listed so far, maybe the most capable in bumps trees and off piste skiing."
"Salomon Stance 84. As a ski instructor who skis 20 hrs/week and owns a pair, it is my workhorse and one of few that can do it all except powder."
"My research led me to the Salomon stance 96 - Very happy with my choice."
"So would be the QST 92."
"QST if you want a do it all ski that’s less powerful but easier to ski."
"Try the Declivity 82ti, Maverick 88ti, Liberty evolv 84, Stance 90"
"Look into the Salomon QST Lux 92. If you are just starting out I don’t think I’d go much wider than that."
#7
Rossignol
4.8
(9)
"I went with the Rossignol Sender Soul 102. I'm very happy with the choice."
"Rustler 10 would be my recommendation for CA or PNW snow."
"I love my rustler 10s and used them in everything from ice to crud and thick powder."
"I’d suggest the Rossi Sender Free 110s and Moment Wildcat 108s. They’re both strong but playfully shaped big mountain freestyle skis."
"Enforcer 94 and Sender free 110"
"The Temptation 88s were another I was going to rec that seemed you might like."
"I haven't been able to ski it myself but if it is anything like the E88 it will be amazing."
"Rossi senders 110"
"Also curious what the Sender 110s are like."

Volkl
5.0
(6)
"Consider the 2025 Volkl Secret 88 or 2024 Kenja 88. Edge like crazy, easy to release and skid, handle speed with zero chatter."
"I’d add a Volkl Kenja, just to try something different."
"Try a kenja or aura. Also consider the samba or black pearl. Volkl and blizzard respectively. They are all built like a race ski and feature metal top sheets which make them a blast to ski."
"Try a kenja or aura. Also consider the samba or black pearl. Volkl and blizzard respectively. They are all built like a race ski and feature metal top sheets which make them a blast to ski."
"Check out the Volkl Kenja. Or if you want fatter the Aura. Nice and stiff ski that will handle all conditions pretty well."

Fischer
4.7
(6)
"Seconding the Ranger 96. They really do it all."
"I love my Fisher Ranger 96 at 174cm. I love how responsive they are and how well they handle fairly aggressive carving."
"The 2023 revolt 90 is on sale at back country ski for $300! Sick for banging rails, sick for air."
"Revolt 90s. Not insanely buttery but it’s exactly how you’d want a park ski. Bomber asf, can likely hold an almost decent edge in bad conditions."
"Fischer nightstick 97."
"Adding the fischer nightstick 97, pretty similar properties, maybe a little more all mountain focused."
#10
Stöckli
4.3
(6)
"Stormriders are great skis. They are stiffer than other all Mountain skis, but that should be expected from a Stockli."
"Love my Stöckli Stormrider 88s! Super smooth and eat up crud."
"In our family we have stockli stormrider 88, Montero AR, Laser SL. They grip great on ice."
"Stormrider is a great ski"
"Stokli stormrider"

"The wingman is a better option"
"I skied some Elan Ripstick 88s this past weekend and really liked them."

(4)
"A Black Crows Serpo would be a great choice too."
"Black Crows Divus"
"My Serpos are my go-to. Lovely ski."
"Black crows serpo, I ski in the alps. Very good carving ski that also does wel off piste in crud and in powder."
#13
K2
4.5
(4)
"The quick solution for crud and some fresh, dense snow is a wider pair of skis with a nice suspension. K2 Mindbender 99ti, Volkl Mantra, Blizzard Anomaly 102, etc."
"I was between the Kendo 88’s and Mindebender 89 TI’s and ended up going with the Mindbenders cause they’re a bit more playful."
"Skied both of those skis. Incredible ride. I normally am on Mantras."
"Mantra"

Peak
5.0
(2)
"If you’re around Big Sky you should try out those Peak’s by Bode, they’re out of Bozeman and you might even be able to demo ‘em."
"Peak 98's. I own Peak 104's but still have my Enforcer 100's from their first year. Awesome ski, a step above the Enforcers."
