SKI CANADA TEST 2022 INSTINCT ORIGINAL SENDER (O//S) * FREERIDE/POWDER BEST FOR: Charging in big terrain. Instinct skis stand out.

SKI CANADA TEST 2022 RENOUN CITADEL * FREERIDE/POWDER BEST FOR: A lightweight ride that doesn’t ski like it. Rarely do we compliment a ski for feeling heavy, but the Citadel is no ordinary ski.
