We always love seeing skis with one-of-a-kind tech. Enter Framewall technology. The ski’s namesake utilizes a three-dimensional sidewall that covers the topsheet’s perimeter to prevent chipping and delamination. A stiff profile along with slight rocker in the tip and tail means these puppies are built for crushing any type of snow and popping off just about anything with total ease. When it came to jumps and pipe in particular, this thing had our testers stoked. “This ski is a park skier’s dream!” oozed one. “Stiff, snappy and full of life. Definitely ideal for a slope or pipe competition skier.”

*Ski dimensions are for the 181.
