The Joyride | 2025

It’s a bluebird day, and you’ve just dropped in for your fifth lap. En route to the park, you nail a nose butter three over a roller, then float a 180 off a side hit, cruising switch to the park entrance. You effortlessly grease the first few rails, gearing up for the final tube where you’ve been battling for the first backslide of the season. There it is—STOMPED. Riding away, you glance down at your trusty steed: The Joyride.
Boasting the ideal combination of flexibility and reliability, The Joyride is a tool for park rats and all-mountain freestyle hounds. Built with an energy-infused maple core that’s reinforced with carbon stringers, it offers explosive pop off lips and pure stability on landings. A true-twin design features moderate tip and tail rocker with camber underfoot. This profile enables quick tail release and adds forgiveness to the ride—perfect for tackling new tricks, taking on the trees or mastering the moguls. The ski injects so much playfulness into your runs that you should probably bring some biscuits for all that butter.
Our testers loved it, stating, “This ski is super light and easy to throw around, with full camber to maintain contact with the snow. The topsheet is eye-catching and sure to start conversations on the lift.”
