In soft snow, these surf-inspired masterpieces are a ton of fun, they're light enough to get round in the park too. Dare we say it, you could ski these every day. The sidecut and low weight make them very easy to handle. The Pass is 116mm underfoot, but these skis feel much narrower and easier to ski on hard snow than those numbers would suggest. Handled mixed snow, groomers and everything in between, felt like they were a good charger ski too. You can definitely take them in the park too. They also pivot as well as any ski in this class we can think of. They have a pretty solid flex, tons of rocker, and the mounting point is super flexible. The list of plaudits for these just keeps growing because they do it all well and they're a lot of fun while they do it. Without further ado our top all-mountain skis for 2023:Īrguably THE standout ski of our '23-24 test the Dynastar M-Free 108 is, simply put, an absolute monster. Shoutout to our huge crew of testers, and thank you for the time and effort you put into this, we couldn't do it without you. Some are definitely on the wide side, but we felt comfortable skiing all of these skis anywhere. That means some of our picks win awards because that's where we enjoyed them, despite not obviously being 'all-mountain skis' on paper. We don't categorize skis before testing them, so anything we were sent could technically win an award as an all-mountain ski (or park sk). We told all the brands to send over skis with progressive mounting points, no more than -2cm from center so they feel natural chucking them off sidehits and landing switch in mixed snow. You know how we roll at Newschoolers – even our staff are still sending (we have a 1-per-year average Banff hospital visit rate), and we wanted to put these skis to the test just like we’d actually use 'em. The whole event keeps expanding year on year and Sunshine provides a perfect playground with quick laps and a huge variety of easily accessible terrain. Thanks to our pals sunshinevillage, evo.com and DissentLabs we went even bigger and better than ever before, testing more skis and stacking more shots. April saw the NS crew return to Banff Sunshine Village for our third annual ski testing bonanza.
