The 10 Best Men's Big Mountain Skis of 2027
Shop our full selection of mens big mountain skis.
Big skis for big terrain.
If you spend most of your time off-trail, searching for powder days after storms, unsure of what you'll encounter, this is the category for you. These skis are wide enough to float in deep snow when you find it and stabilize your ride in soft chop after the storm passes. At the same time, they are narrow enough to be responsive and manuverable in chutes, bumps, and trees. These are the skis we spend most of our time on here at the shop, and they make for great daily drivers out west. They work equally well as powder skis out east when navigating those tight trees, or for someone looking for more versatility out of their soft snow ski as opposed to big powder planks. Just like all-mountain skis, these come in a variety of shapes, flexes, and styles to suit your particular needs.

Best Men's Big Mountain Skis: Customer Favorites
1. Nordica Enforcer 104 $739.95
The basics: The Nordica Enforcer 104 is the wide all-mountain charger in their lineup. Taking the dual metal, directional shape of the narrower skis and putting it on a bigger platform, this ski is best in class for crud busting and navigating refrozen chop. Compared to the old Enforcer 104 Free, Nordica reduced the tail rocker and splay, allowing it to hold stronger turns for longer. Nordica also ... learn more
2. Black Crows Atris $719.95
The basics: Few skis reach the point of cult classic status, but the Black Crows Atris quickly rose to the challenge and won our hearts right when it was released. Endlessly playful, responsive, and stable enough to charge with the best of them, the Atris quickly became a ski we all reached for no matter the conditions. So when we heard the Atris was changing last year, you can understand our slight ... learn more
3. Atomic Maverick 105 CTi $849.95
The basics: We all know, Mavericks like to buzz the tower, even if that means breaking some rules. The Atomic Maverick 105 CTI is a quiet powerhouse, prioritizing precision and power on a wide all-mountain chassis. All without being too flashy. On snow, our overwhelming experience was that the Maverick 105 CTI is stable, supportive, and remarkably damp for the weight. Compared to some other metal ... learn more

Perhaps one of the skis staff are most stoked on after testing, the M-Free 108 blends an ultra-playful shape with Dynastar's impressively damp/energetic/and-just-good Hybrid Core. At a tasty mid-fat waist width of 108mm, the M-Free 108 will handle every demand you ... learn more
5. Kastle Paragon 107 $849.00

Well, for 2024-2025, Kastle is introducing a new freeride collection: Paragon. The new skis feel like obvious call-backs to classic models like that BMX and the FX95 HP. How so? Well for one, they're tanks. Built with two sheets of metal, the ... learn more
6. Atomic Backland 109 $719.95
The basics: "Backland" is a longstanding name in Atomic's lineup. The ski has gone from resort freeride focused, to offering skinny, ultralight skimo models. But the goal remains the same: to give you the tools to escape the confines of the busy trails and resorts to find some space in the backcountry. This all-new Atomic Backland 109 is a no brainer for someone looking for a daily driver in the ... learn more

This is the cool sheriff who lets you hang out past curfew and gamble behind closed doors. Icelantic loaded the new Nomad 106 up with ... learn more
9. K2 Mindbender 106C $579.95
The basics: The K2 Mindbender 106C is all about balance. With deeper rocker lines, more taper, and lighter weight than the 108Ti, this Mindbender wants to bend your mind to find creative and playful lines. More maneuverable and more nimble underfoot, the 106C feels easier to get sideways than the titanal version if you find yourself in a tricky situation. At the same time, its directional shape rewards ... learn more
10. Head Kore 106 Ti $899.00
The basics: The Head Kore 106 Ti is engineered for big-mountain skiers who are hunting for deep snow, but still want to ski with technical precision on steep lines. You\'ll find deeper rocker lines and taper on the 106 compared to the all-mountain sized siblings, giving the 106 a smeary, surf-infused ride quality that loves to drift and slash through alpine bowls. Don\'t mistake that soft-snow bias for ... learn more
