Elan jumps into the ski touring market with their Ripstick Tour line: inspired by Glen Plake, we’re hoping the iconoclast himself adds a splash of fun to these promising skis. Here’s our first look at the Ripstick Tour 94 W.

Blizzard adds to the Zero G lineup with the skinnier yet capable Zero G LT 80. Here’s our first look at this 1kg go-long-and-far ski.

Moonlight skis Cruiser 120 offers plenty of width underfoot, and throughout the ski, for that matter, to make the most of powder skiing. And if you are going the distance, the ~1600g won’t tax you too much on the skintrack.

Moment is located in Reno, Nevada, at the foothills of the Sierra on Bible Way. Which, when you consider the biblical devotion of some Moment evangelists, is an apt street for the ski maker.
