Best Skis of the Century from Each Brand, Part 1

Today, we are kicking off a new series, where we will debate and try to identify the best skis of the 21st Century from over 30 ski brands. So over the next couple of weeks, you’re going to be hearing our choices, but we are also going to be sending out a survey to our BLISTER+ members, Digital Access Pass members, and a number of pro athletes and product designers around the ski industry. Then, in a few weeks, we’ll discuss how our selections match up with all of your answers. And finally, for the grand finale of this series, we’re going to offer our choices for the Very Best Skis of the Century — can we whittle things down to a top 10? A top 3? To a single ski? We’re going to find out, and it’s certainly going to be fun trying.

Today, Jonathan Ellsworth, Luke Koppa, Paul Forward, and our great friend, Rob Dickinson, get the conversation going.

Note: We Want to Hear From You!

Please let us know if there’s a topic you’d like us to cover or a guest you’d like us to have on GEAR:30. Or if you’d like to nominate yourself for a ‘Gear Therapy’ episode, let us know that, too! You can email us at info@blisterreview.com
