The Origin 96 debuted last season and it’s already earned a stellar reputation across the industry, especially among our testers. Its versatile width profile is ideal for the skier who’s looking for an everyday driver. The abundance of tech packed inside seals the deal: Its core is built with bamboo, poplar and carbon, which results in a stable yet playful experience. Additionally, moderate tip and tail rocker with camber underfoot combine forces and allow you to shred any terrain—from rock-hard groomers to dreamy pow. “Fun in the air, has a lightweight profile, is great for shifties and carves incredibly,” listed one of the many enthused testers.
