Jump to:
Editor’s Note
Updated October 2025 with the latest 2025/26 arrivals: Faction Prodigy Series, Elan Ripstick Collection, Dynastar M-Free 100, plus new highlights from Black Crows and Line now available in stores and online at Christy Sports.
This winter, the gear is better than ever: lighter underfoot, calmer at speed, and easier to enjoy in every condition. For 2025/26, ski innovation is accelerating fast, with new materials that boost performance without adding weight, refined shapes that make turns feel effortless, and a stronger focus on sustainability and inclusive design.
At Christy Sports and Sturtevant’s, we geek out on these details because they’re changes you’ll actually feel on snow. Whether you’re chasing powder, linking your first turns, or skiing bell-to-bell on the groomers, this season’s lineup is built to make every run smoother, safer, and more fun.
Nordica Santa Ana 97
Innovation Spotlight
Every year brings fresh ideas to ski design, but 2025/26 stands out for how much progress you can actually feel. From lighter materials that boost control to smarter shapes that handle real-world snow conditions, this season’s innovations make skiing smoother, more efficient, and more fun for every level of rider.
Lighter, stronger constructions: Refined cores with carbon and titanal laminates deliver high energy transfer with lower swing weight. You’ll feel quicker transitions and less fatigue.
Smarter shapes for real snow: Blended rocker/camber and updated sidecuts improve turn initiation and edge hold, so groomers, chop, and trees all feel more manageable.
Sustainability progress: More recycled inputs, lower-impact resins, and reduced packaging; precision claims vary by brand, but the direction of travel is clear.
Inclusive performance: Women’s and unisex skis share top constructions, tuned for flex and balance points rather than just graphics.
These shifts are making skiing more accessible, more comfortable, and more performance-driven than ever — and you’ll see them across the collections from Atomic, Salomon, Nordica, Blizzard, and other top brands in the months ahead.

What’s New in Skis
The 2025/26 ski collections are pushing design forward in ways that make skiing more fluid, more playful, and more accessible — whether you’re chasing groomers, floating powder, or just starting out. Here’s what’s new across the categories:
- All-Mountain – The workhorse category is getting smarter. Brands are blending lighter materials with reinforced construction, creating skis that feel stable at speed but forgiving enough to handle variable snow. Models like the Blizzard Rustler 9, Atomic Maverick 96 CTi, and Nordica Enforcer 94 are built to do it all.
- Freeride / Powder – Big-mountain skis are slimming down in weight while staying wide where it counts. Expect improved float without the bulk, thanks to carbon and composite cores. Look for skis like the Rossignol Sender Free 110, K2 Reckoner 110, or Armada Whitewalker 116 to deliver playful surf in deep snow.
- Carving – Frontside skis are delivering sharper response with less effort. Torsionally stiff builds with tuned rocker profiles let you lock into a carve without fighting the ski. Think Head Supershape e-Titan, or Stöckli Montero AR for precision turns on hardpack.
- Women’s-Specific – The women’s category continues to lead innovation in lighter cores and inclusive sizing. Skis like the Blizzard Black Pearl 88, Rossignol Rallybird Soul 92, and Armada ARW 94 are designed to be powerful yet approachable, helping more skiers progress with confidence.

What It Means for You
The innovations in 2025/26 skis aren’t just for pros — they make skiing easier, more fun, and more accessible for everyone. Here’s how the new gear translates on the mountain, and a few models to put on your demo list:
- Beginners – Gear is more forgiving than ever, with softer flex patterns and lighter constructions that help you build confidence without fighting your skis. If you’re brand new to skiing, we recommend starting with ski rentals so you can test different gear before buying.
- Intermediates – This season’s designs make progression easier, blending poise with easier turn initiation. You’ll notice less chatter at speed and more versatility in mixed snow.
- Advanced Skiers – Performance without compromise. Reinforced layups, carbon and titanal laminates, and precise shaping deliver power, edge grip, and control on any terrain.
No matter your level, the takeaway is simple: today’s skis make it easier to have more fun.

How to Choose Skis
Length: Chin-to-nose works for most all-mountain skiers. Go longer for stability/float; shorter for agility in trees and bumps.
Waist width:
- 82–90 mm → groomers & firm days
- 90–100 mm → true all-mountain range
- 100–110 mm → soft-snow / freeride focus
Rocker vs. camber: More rocker = easier turn start + better float; more camber = edge hold + rebound.
Construction: Metal laminates add damp, directional stability; carbon keeps things light and lively.

FAQs: Finding the Right Skis for 2025/26
How do I choose the right ski length?
Think of ski length as your balance between control and stability. A good rule of thumb: choose skis that land somewhere between your chin and nose for easy handling. Go shorter if you like quick turns or ski in tighter trees, and longer if you ski fast or love open bowls.
Still not sure? Stop by a Christy Sports or Sturtevant’s store — our team can match your height, weight, and skiing style to the perfect ski length (and even let you demo before you decide).
What ski waist is best for Colorado and Utah?
In the Rockies, versatility is key. Skis in the 90–100 mm range are ideal for mixed resort conditions — firm mornings, soft afternoons, and fresh snow days.
If you chase powder, bump up to 100–110 mm for more float and confidence when it’s deep.
What’s the difference between all-mountain, freeride, and carving skis?
- All-Mountain: The everyday do-it-all skis, like the Elan Ripstick 96 or Nordica Enforcer 94. They handle groomers, mixed snow, and soft days equally well.
- Freeride/Powder: Wider skis like the Rossignol Sender Free 110 prioritize float in powder while staying stable in chop.
- Carving: Narrower, precision-focused skis such as the Head Supershape e-Titan thrive on groomers with powerful edge control.
- If you ski a mix of everything, all-mountain models are your best bet.
Do I need women’s-specific skis, or can I use unisex models?
You can absolutely ski either — it’s about what feels best for you. Women’s skis often use lighter materials and tuned flex patterns for balance and control, like the Blizzard Black Pearl 88 or Nordica Santa Ana 92.
Many advanced women also love unisex skis such as the Salomon QST 100 for their power and stability.
What do ski width numbers mean (like 88 or 106)?
That number is the waist width — the width under your boot. It affects how the ski performs:
- Narrow (80–90 mm): Quick edge-to-edge, best for groomers and hardpack.
- Mid-Range (90–100 mm): The all-mountain sweet spot, great for mixed conditions.
- Wide (100+ mm): Ideal for powder, soft snow, and off-trail terrain.
For example, the Salomon QST 106 floats beautifully in soft snow, while the Blizzard Anomaly 88 shines on groomers.
What’s new in ski technology for 2025/26?
This year’s designs are smoother, lighter, and smarter:
- Titanal Layers: Add power and dampness at high speed, seen in skis like the Völkl M7 Mantra and Nordica Enforcer 94.
- Cork Tips: On models like the Salomon QST series, cork dampens vibration for a calm, stable ride.
- Carbon Reinforcements: Used by brands like Elan and Faction for strength without extra weight.
Each innovation makes skiing more intuitive — so your gear works with you, not against you.
Can I try out skis before I buy?
Yes, and it’s one of the best ways to find your perfect setup. Our Try Before You Buy Program lets you try the same skis we sell in-store at ten slopeside Christy Sports locations across Colorado, Utah, and Montana. You can swap models during the day, and up to two days of credit can be applied toward a new ski purchase that same season.
Try Before You Buy skis are available on a first-come basis, so just stop in, chat with an expert, and take a few pairs out on the mountain to see what feels right. Learn more or find a participating location: Try Before You Buy
Should I rent or buy for this season?
If you’re still discovering your style or skiing just a few days a year, renting or demoing is perfect. Once you know what you like, buying gives you consistency, fit, and savings long-term. Our team can help you decide which makes sense for your goals and budget.
How do I know if my skis or bindings are compatible with new boots?
Compatibility matters for safety and performance. Many new 2025/26 boots use GripWalk® soles, which need GripWalk-compatible bindings to release properly.
If you’re mixing old and new gear, bring it into a Christy Sports or Sturtevant’s shop for a free safety check — we’ll make sure your setup works seamlessly together.
How do I take care of my new skis?
A few small habits go a long way:
- Wax every 5–10 days on snow to keep them gliding fast.
- Sharpen edges regularly for grip on firm snow.
- Store indoors, away from heat and moisture, during the off-season.
Need a tune? Our Christy Sports service shops across Colorado, Utah, Montana, and Washington can help your skis perform their best all season long.
Are there eco-friendly ski options for 2025/26?
Yes — more than ever. Brands like Salomon, Atomic, and Rossignol now use recycled materials, bio-based resins, and sustainably sourced wood cores.
Rossignol Rallybird Soul 102

This winter, the gear is better than ever: lighter underfoot, calmer at speed, and easier to enjoy in every condition.

Nordica Santa Ana 97
Innovation Spotlight
Every year brings fresh ideas to ski design, but 2025/26 stands out for how much progress you can actually feel. From lighter materials that boost control to smarter shapes that handle real-world snow conditions, this season’s innovations make skiing smoother, more efficient, and more fun for every level of rider.
Lighter, stronger constructions: Refined cores with carbon and titanal laminates deliver high energy transfer with lower swing weight. You’ll feel quicker transitions and less fatigue.
Smarter shapes for real snow: Blended rocker/camber and updated sidecuts improve turn initiation and edge hold, so groomers, chop, and trees all feel more manageable.
Sustainability progress: More recycled inputs, lower-impact resins, and reduced packaging; precision claims vary by brand, but the direction of travel is clear.
Inclusive performance: Women’s and unisex skis share top constructions, tuned for flex and balance points rather than just graphics.
These shifts are making skiing more accessible, more comfortable, and more performance-driven than ever — and you’ll see them across the collections from Atomic, Salomon, Nordica, Blizzard, and other top brands in the months ahead.

What’s New in Skis
The 2025/26 ski collections are pushing design forward in ways that make skiing more fluid, more playful, and more accessible — whether you’re chasing groomers, floating powder, or just starting out. Here’s what’s new across the categories:
- All-Mountain – The workhorse category is getting smarter. Brands are blending lighter materials with reinforced construction, creating skis that feel stable at speed but forgiving enough to handle variable snow. Models like the Blizzard Rustler 9, Atomic Maverick 96 CTi, and Nordica Enforcer 94 are built to do it all.
- Freeride / Powder – Big-mountain skis are slimming down in weight while staying wide where it counts. Expect improved float without the bulk, thanks to carbon and composite cores. Look for skis like the Rossignol Sender Free 110, K2 Reckoner 110, or Armada Whitewalker 116 to deliver playful surf in deep snow.
- Carving – Frontside skis are delivering sharper response with less effort. Torsionally stiff builds with tuned rocker profiles let you lock into a carve without fighting the ski. Think Head Supershape e-Titan, or Stöckli Montero AR for precision turns on hardpack.
- Women’s-Specific – The women’s category continues to lead innovation in lighter cores and inclusive sizing. Skis like the Blizzard Black Pearl 88, Rossignol Rallybird Soul 92, and Armada ARW 94 are designed to be powerful yet approachable, helping more skiers progress with confidence.

What It Means for You
The innovations in 2025/26 skis aren’t just for pros — they make skiing easier, more fun, and more accessible for everyone. Here’s how the new gear translates on the mountain, and a few models to put on your demo list:
- Beginners – Gear is more forgiving than ever, with softer flex patterns and lighter constructions that help you build confidence without fighting your skis. If you’re brand new to skiing, we recommend starting with ski rentals so you can test different gear before buying.
- Intermediates – This season’s designs make progression easier, blending poise with easier turn initiation. You’ll notice less chatter at speed and more versatility in mixed snow.
- Advanced Skiers – Performance without compromise. Reinforced layups, carbon and titanal laminates, and precise shaping deliver power, edge grip, and control on any terrain.
No matter your level, the takeaway is simple: today’s skis make it easier to have more fun.

How to Choose Skis
Length: Chin-to-nose works for most all-mountain skiers. Go longer for stability/float; shorter for agility in trees and bumps.
Waist width:
- 82–90 mm → groomers & firm days
- 90–100 mm → true all-mountain range
- 100–110 mm → soft-snow / freeride focus
Rocker vs. camber: More rocker = easier turn start + better float; more camber = edge hold + rebound.
Construction: Metal laminates add damp, directional stability; carbon keeps things light and lively.

FAQs: Finding the Right Skis for 2025/26
How do I choose the right ski length?
Think of ski length as your balance between control and stability. A good rule of thumb: choose skis that land somewhere between your chin and nose for easy handling. Go shorter if you like quick turns or ski in tighter trees, and longer if you ski fast or love open bowls.
Still not sure? Stop by a Christy Sports or Sturtevant’s store — our team can match your height, weight, and skiing style to the perfect ski length (and even let you demo before you decide).
What ski waist is best for Colorado and Utah?
In the Rockies, versatility is key. Skis in the 90–100 mm range are ideal for mixed resort conditions — firm mornings, soft afternoons, and fresh snow days.
If you chase powder, bump up to 100–110 mm for more float and confidence when it’s deep.
What’s the difference between all-mountain, freeride, and carving skis?
- All-Mountain: The everyday do-it-all skis, like the Elan Ripstick 96 or Nordica Enforcer 94. They handle groomers, mixed snow, and soft days equally well.
- Freeride/Powder: Wider skis like the Rossignol Sender Free 110 prioritize float in powder while staying stable in chop.
- Carving: Narrower, precision-focused skis such as the Head Supershape e-Titan thrive on groomers with powerful edge control.
- If you ski a mix of everything, all-mountain models are your best bet.
Do I need women’s-specific skis, or can I use unisex models?
You can absolutely ski either — it’s about what feels best for you. Women’s skis often use lighter materials and tuned flex patterns for balance and control, like the Blizzard Black Pearl 88 or Nordica Santa Ana 92.
Many advanced women also love unisex skis such as the Salomon QST 100 for their power and stability.
What do ski width numbers mean (like 88 or 106)?
That number is the waist width — the width under your boot. It affects how the ski performs:
- Narrow (80–90 mm): Quick edge-to-edge, best for groomers and hardpack.
- Mid-Range (90–100 mm): The all-mountain sweet spot, great for mixed conditions.
- Wide (100+ mm): Ideal for powder, soft snow, and off-trail terrain.
For example, the Salomon QST 106 floats beautifully in soft snow, while the Blizzard Anomaly 88 shines on groomers.
What’s new in ski technology for 2025/26?
This year’s designs are smoother, lighter, and smarter:
- Titanal Layers: Add power and dampness at high speed, seen in skis like the Völkl M7 Mantra and Nordica Enforcer 94.
- Cork Tips: On models like the Salomon QST series, cork dampens vibration for a calm, stable ride.
- Carbon Reinforcements: Used by brands like Elan and Faction for strength without extra weight.
Each innovation makes skiing more intuitive — so your gear works with you, not against you.
Can I try out skis before I buy?
Yes, and it’s one of the best ways to find your perfect setup. Our Try Before You Buy Program lets you try the same skis we sell in-store at ten slopeside Christy Sports locations across Colorado, Utah, and Montana. You can swap models during the day, and up to two days of credit can be applied toward a new ski purchase that same season.
Try Before You Buy skis are available on a first-come basis, so just stop in, chat with an expert, and take a few pairs out on the mountain to see what feels right. Learn more or find a participating location: Try Before You Buy
Should I rent or buy for this season?
If you’re still discovering your style or skiing just a few days a year, renting or demoing is perfect. Once you know what you like, buying gives you consistency, fit, and savings long-term. Our team can help you decide which makes sense for your goals and budget.
How do I know if my skis or bindings are compatible with new boots?
Compatibility matters for safety and performance. Many new 2025/26 boots use GripWalk® soles, which need GripWalk-compatible bindings to release properly.
If you’re mixing old and new gear, bring it into a Christy Sports or Sturtevant’s shop for a free safety check — we’ll make sure your setup works seamlessly together.
How do I take care of my new skis?
A few small habits go a long way:
- Wax every 5–10 days on snow to keep them gliding fast.
- Sharpen edges regularly for grip on firm snow.
- Store indoors, away from heat and moisture, during the off-season.
Need a tune? Our Christy Sports service shops across Colorado, Utah, Montana, and Washington can help your skis perform their best all season long.
Are there eco-friendly ski options for 2025/26?
Yes — more than ever. Brands like Salomon, Atomic, and Rossignol now use recycled materials, bio-based resins, and sustainably sourced wood cores.
Rossignol Rallybird Soul 102
