Comparables – Test 2021

Reading Time: < 1 minutes

Shopping for skis? Also consider a few of our favourite skis that are carryovers from last season.

METAL ALL-MOUNTAIN

Salomon Stance and Lumen: Two choice examples of the genre; the faster you ski the better they perform.

Nordica Santa Ana: Its light weight counters the power of a sheet of Titanal for versatility and approachability.

Dynastar M-Pro 90: An Editors’ Choice selection from last winter; smooth performance in all conditions.

NON-METAL ALL-MOUNTAIN

Fischer Ranger FR: The FR stands for freeride, but testers thought “really fun” wherever they took it was more accurate.

DPS Pogoda Piste: A forgiving and fun ski to improve on for intermediates to advanced skiers.

Line Vision: Playful and light but with enough performance to get out of tight spots.

ON-PISTE

K2 Disruption: Keeps the hardest chargers grinning, but is approachable enough for intermediates and up.

Rossignol React and Nova: Race pedigree, tight-turning and power for days; bring your A-game and hold on.

Renoun Atlas: Stable but easy, stiff but forgiving; like all Renoun skis the Atlas is a contradiction our testers loved.

Ryan Stuart has a ski for every possible condition and a jacket to match. Well maybe not quite, but the magazine’s Technical Editor has more than enough of both and can’t wait to test out whatever is coming next. When he’s not testing skis or writing the buyer’s guides, you can’t find him exploring his bumpy backyard on Vancouver Island. @ryan_adventures
