A slight graphics change brings the legendary Confession charging into 2019-2020 with the same powder-surfing power that took it to new heights a year ago. The skinny: the Confession is the flag-bearer for the aggressive, big-mountain powder ski category. Its stiff flex and directional nature, plus a band of titanal in the build, help it blast through any type of snow the mountain puts in front of it. These are not intermediate skis, but they are far more skiable and intuitive than their reputation sometimes indicates. If you are a strong, aggressive skier looking for primo stability as you explore the nether reaches of big mountains, the Confession should be on your radar.
