Luke Koppa reviews the Line Vision 98 for Blister

2021-2022 Line Vision 98

by
Back when we first took a look at Line’s ultralight Vision 98, we said it didn’t look like anything else on the market. And after skiing it throughout the past year, we’d also say it doesn’t ski like anything else out there, either. Check out our full review & Deep Dive comparisons.

Scott Patrol E1 30 Avalanche Airbag Backpack

by
Blister reviewer Paul Forward has used a *lot* of different avalanche airbag systems, and the electric Alpride / Scott E1 system is his current favorite. Check out our review of the Scott Patrol E1 30 pack for his take on both the backpack itself and the E1 airbag system.
Luke Koppa reviews the Moment Commander 98 for Blister

2019-2020 Moment Commander 98

by
We’ve been spending a lot of time on the current iteration of Moment’s Commander 98, and we think this metal-laminate all-mountain ski offers something pretty different from the competition that could make it very appealing to certain skiers. Check out our full review & Deep Dive comparisons.

2020-2021 K2 Disruption 82Ti

by
K2 is overhauling its frontside lineup for 20/21, and the new Disruption skis feature a construction that has the potential to set them apart from the competition. Check out our First Look of the Disruption 82Ti for more info.

Giro Method Goggle

by
The Giro Method is far from the most expensive goggle on the market, yet it offers excellent optics and a versatile fit, all of which have made it one of our favorite goggles for those on a budget. Check out our full review.

Luke Koppa reviews the Prior Northwest 110 for Blister

2021-2022 Prior Northwest 110

by
Last year Prior's Northwest 110, a fairly heavy, strong, yet playful-looking ski, earned our "Dying to Try It" award, and now having spent a good chunk of time on it, we're very glad we did, in fact, get to try it. Check out our full review & Deep Dive comparisons.
Gordon Gianniny reviews the La Sportiva Bushido II for Blister

La Sportiva Bushido II

by
The La Sportiva Bushido II is designed for fast running on the most technical of terrain, but it's also supposed to be more versatile and comfortable than the previous iteration. So ... is it? Check out our full review.
