@158cm 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.

@179cm The basics: The all-new Volkl Blaze 104 is an excellent alternative to their heavy metal chargers in the Mantra/Secret series, and the punk rock alternative kids in the Revolt series.

So when you're hucking a backflip into Corbet's Couloir, your skis feel easy to swing around and lift up, but you still stomp that landing. K2 ... learn more

@162cm The basics: The M Free series gets all the glitz and glam from Dynastar. But if you're a directional skier, the splayed and rockered tail of the M Free might leave some things to be desired.

On the more narrow side of all-mountain at 90mm underfoot, the Captis Birdie is happiest ripping the front side, but you aren't limited to just groomers.
