  08-10-2026 21:05 via powder.com
  Another winter, another year of Shaun White’s grand halfpipe experiment.
  Now, his brainchild, the Snow League, is sharing which skiers will go head-to-head across a three-stop season that’s appearing in Aspen, Park City, and LAAX.
  Given its chief backer, it makes sense that the Snow League’s snowboard roster is larger than the ski roster, but this winter, the number of skiers competing in the series has grown from 16 to 24, plus eight wildcards at each event.

• Dynastar's Unapologetically Stiff Twin-Tip Skis Bridges the Gap Between Park and Freeride

  08-10-2026 14:49 via powder.com
  The Dynastar M-Free 108 is an absolute resort freeride monster, balancing power and agility, and once again comes in as a freeride tester favorite on the daily driver resort charging list. Dynastar carries over the shape and construction from last year, when they brought their more eco-friendly Hybrid Core 2.0 (polyurethane/poplar) to the M-Free 108. If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.View the 3 images of this gallery on theoriginal article2027 Dynastar M-Free 108 Specs

• Review: 2027 Armada Whitewalker 108

  08-10-2026 14:24 via powder.com
  When making a new ski, a manufacturer typically goes one of two ways: make an approachable ski that a ton of people will enjoy (and hopefully spend their hard-earned cash on), or make a specialty tool that caters precisely to a very specific kind of skier. Armada’s new Whitewalker 108 falls squarely into the latter category. It’s the third descendant of Sammy Carlson’s pro model lineage, and it takes direct design cues from the pow-specific Whitewalker 116 and 121. It’s a

• Eagle Point Owner Sets Goal for Reopening After Devastating Wildfire

  08-10-2026 14:02 via powder.com
  Earlier this year, a wildfire that would go on to burn more than 97,000 acres broke out in Beaver County, Utah, due to human causes. Although the exact cause of the Cottonwood Fire has not been released by the Forest Service, it wreaked havoc on the area, including Eagle Point Resort.

• Review: 2027 Dynastar M-Free 94 Open

  08-10-2026 13:58 via powder.com
  The product of Dynastar’s collaboration with French freeride legend Richard Permin, the M-Free line has grown and evolved since its release in 2020. Over the last six seasons, the brand has toyed with different widths of skis for the line as well as the ski’s construction. This year, the brand has kept the M-Free 100, 112, and 108 as well as added a new, narrower player to the game in the form of the M-Free 94 Open, in place of the M-Free 90. Although the M-Free 94 Open isn’t t

• Review: 2027 Blizzard Rustler 11

  08-10-2026 13:36 via powder.com
  For the last three years, Blizzard’s engineers have looked at the Rustler 11, which got updated back in 2024, and said “you can’t fix it if it ain’t broke.” I can actually confirm this happened as I watched it at a Blizzard product meeting in Austria last year, although it might have been a bit more nuanced.While Blizzard has been busy focusing on new skis like the Canvas line and the Decoy boot, the Rustler line has remained their tried and true, burly, freeride sk

  How do the last few days of the ski season usually go for you?If you answered sunburns, slushy turns, and skiing in a T-shirt, you’re in good company. Those answers also highlight the somewhat bizarre and exciting end to South America’s winter, which started with a bang and hasn’t really let up. 
  Rather than toasty temperatures and blue skies, several resorts already on bonus time got slammed with snow in the last few days.
