• Review: 2027 Nordica Santa Ana 97

  07-10-2026 20:57 via powder.com
  If ever there was a 2008 Subaru Legacy Outback of skis, it’s the Nordica Santa Ana 97. Versatile, reliable, sturdy, but when you give it to a dirtbag that will use the hell out of it or really hit the gas, it’ll surprise you with just how sendy and rad it can be.Maybe that’s a far-fetched analogy, but the Santa Ana 97 really does compliment the rest of the Santa Ana line as truly one of the most versatile women’s skis on the market that doesn’t make the same comprom

• Canadian Resort's New Technology Detects When Skiers Don't Lower The Safety Bar on Chairlift

  07-10-2026 19:44 via powder.com
  Many American skiers don’t put the safety bar down on the chairlift.
  We’re not going to speculate on the reasons why, but 13% of over 6,000 skiers told us in a poll last year that they never put the bar down, no matter the circumstances. We have a feeling this number is much higher in practice, but regardless, it’s no secret that skiers in states like California, Colorado, and Utah prefer bar up over bar down.
  Some chairlifts in the United States are still without safety bars,

• Skiers Make First Turns of the Season at Humble Alaskan Ski Area

  07-10-2026 18:51 via powder.com
  It’s October, and folks are already skiing.
  At Alaska’s Arctic Valley Ski Area, more than a foot of snow tallied up last week and, as the mountain put it in a social media post, “it was great to see so many folks out getting after it too!”
  Arctic Valley shared images of its slopes, showing solid October coverage and, if you look closely, tracks left behind by go-getter skiers who presumably ventured uphill under their own power.
  Since the season hasn’t officially st

• Review: 2027 Salomon QST 100

  07-10-2026 16:22 via powder.com
  Ski companies like to throw around the phrase “all-mountain skis” a whole bunch, but with so many skis on the market in the category now, it feels like the term has gotten a bit diluted. In an ideal world, an all-mountain ski would carve well on hardpack, bust through re-frozen crud and skied-off powder, float just enough in soft snow, tear up chalk, and still be fun popping off sidehits or natural features. This combination exists, but rarely, and often these skis make compromises i

• Review: 2027 Stöckli Nela 93 Skis

  07-10-2026 13:56 via powder.com
  Swiss ski maker Stöckli is known for their high-end, performance-oriented skis, particularly in the ski racing world. However, when the technology used to make skis for racers like Marco Odermatt is applied to an all-mountain or freeride ski, the result is an extremely well-built ski that can take you further than a racing piste.Stöckli’s women’s specific freeride series, the Nela, takes design elements from their flagship freeride ski, the Stormrider, but puts it in a smal

  Few skiers have a knack for adventure like Cody Cirillo, and even fewer have an adventure buddy as talented with a camera as Matthew Tufts.The two have traveled around the globe documenting everything from bike-to-ski missions in Iceland to finding pow via camel in Mongolia. Most recently, Cirillo, Tufts, Fer Ferrandez, and cinematographer Isaiah Boyle ventured to South America to ski some of the highest points off the beaten path.
