The Safe Bet: The Atomic Bent 100 is a longtime favorite for a reason, it's absurdly dependable and reliable. Unsurprisingly, the updated 2024/25 version is even better.

For the Adventurous: Salomon's new Départ 1.0 is the most fun freestyle ski we've been on all year, and combines all-mountain performance with freestyle excitement in a truly unique way.

We get it. Powder skis are fun to dream about, and what we all wish we could be riding most days of the season. They’re exotic and aspirational. And that’s fine. But, sometimes you’ve got to think about the rest of your days on the mountain. In fact, let's be real, if you ski a lot, that's most days on the mountain. They might not be bottomless, or bluebird, but let this be a quick reminder that every day on snow is a good day. And for all those good days, a narrower all mountain ski makes a whole lot of sense. How do we define "all mountain?" Simple. It's a ski that is happy to go anywhere on mountain. It can carve, it can ski some powder, it's a jack-of-all-trades. These will fall anywhere in the 95-110mm underfoot category, and will come in many shapes and sizes. This list encompasses skis for both aggressive hard-charging ex-ski racers, jibby and playful freestyle-focused skiers, and everyone in between. We've added both the men's and women's version where applicable.

Ski design is in a golden era right now, where most brands have figured out how to make their one-ski-quivers (aka all mountain ski) do a whole bunch of things really well, instead of just specializing in one category. The reality is that most of us skiers want to explore the mountain and vary up the terrain when were out on the hill. Call it freeriding, call it all-mountain riding, call it just "plain ol' resort skiing." Consequently, most of the skis on this list will handle anything from refrozen crud to a foot of fresh snow just fine. So the question is less “what can the ski do” and more, “what do I prioritize doing on skis?”

We like to think that there are two ways to go about this. Some folks like to lean into their strengths. Say you’re a traditional, directional skier who maybe used to bash gates in high school, and you love laying deep trenches on groomers at high speed. Maybe the move is to shop for a ski that will help you do that even better than before, taking advantage of new materials and shapes to get the most out of every turn.

But others like to tailor their skis to their weaknesses, to help expand their range as skiers. So playful, freestyle-focused skiers (looking at you, park rats) could look for something more stable and powerful, knowing that they have the skills to ski it playfully if they so desire.

Neither of those approaches is any better than the other, but it’s worth thinking about where you fall on that spectrum. Do you want a ski that does the things you already like doing really well, or are you looking to expand your comfort zone?

Atomic Bent 100

  • Waist Width: 100 mm
  • Weight (179 cm): 1700 g
  • Best for: Skiers looking for a lighter weight do-it-all.

Read Powder’s Full Review of the Atomic Bent 100 here.

The updated 2024/25 Atomic Bent 100 is still one of the lighter options on this list, but that doesn’t mean it’s just a featherweight jib stick. Instead, this is a very versatile ski that can do a lot of things well, and will make an excellent companion no matter the conditions or where you ski. Despite it's light weight, it's surprisingly quiet and damp in tracked out and cruddy snow, and delivers a ton of pop and energy for airing off rollers, cat tracks, sidehits, or just bouncing from turn to turn on fresh corduroy.

The most playful skiers will want to mount it a little closer to center, to help make it feel more balanced and playful, while more traditional, directional skiers will prefer it at its recommended line, or even further back. But, wherever you choose to mount it, the Bent 100 delivers a responsive, intuitive ride.

Blizzard Anomaly 102

  • Waist Width: 102 mm
  • Weight (188cm): 2240 g
  • Best for: Powerful and consistent ski performance, everywhere.

Read POWDER's full review of the Blizzard Anomaly 102 here.

Blizzard’s brand-new Anomaly 102 is an aggressive all-mountain freeride ripper with a need for speed, replacing the much-loved Cochise in the brand's lineup. The finely tuned flex is satisfyingly powerful on hard snow, but not overbearing when things soften up. With a nearly completely flat tail, subtle tip rocker and almost no taper up front, it’s no surprise that the Anomaly 102 wants to go fast. What we came to like, however, was how easy it was to get up to speed and control. It’s just as happy on and off-piste, as long as the snow isn’t too deep. 

If you’re a high-performance skier whose home hill isn’t frequently blessed by fresh snow, the Blizzard Anomaly 102 is an excellent choice as a daily driver. Grab a pair for those mornings when there’s fresh cord, no lift lines, and you want to channel your inner World Cup racer. They might feel stiff when hand flexing, but on snow, the flex feels much more balanced, especially torsionally.

Armada ARV 106 and Women's ARW 106

  • Waist Width: 106 mm
  • Weight (180cm): 2025 g
  • Best for: Making the most of otherwise mediocre days

Read Powder's full review on the Armada ARV/W 106.

The ARV/ARW 106 has been a staple of the Armada lineup for some years now, but it got a full makeover for this season. Despite a trend towards making stiffer, burlier skis in the ARV/W lineup, the 24/25 version bucks that trend, returning to a softer, more playful platform that will make many freestyle-oriented skiers very happy. It's buttery, loose, and really fun, and an excellent choice when you just want to get out for laps even though the snow might not be great.

Our testers found it very able all over the hill with particular praise for the ski’s ability to carve high-speed turns and yet retain a playful feel. The skis split the different between a park ski and an all-mountain ski perfectly, handling most resort conditions comfortably while remaining a park ski at heart.

Atomic Maverick 105 CTi and Maven 103 CTi

  • Waist Width: 105/103 mm
  • Weight: 1610 g
  • Best for: Resort powder skiing

Read POWDER's full review of the Atomic Maverick 105 CTi and the Maven 103 CTi here.

All-mountain skis come in all shapes and sizes, and that’s what makes this category so interesting. Versatility is a hard thing to come by in skis, but the Maverick 105 CTi consistently impressed us with its balance of light weight and performance in soft and variable snow. It’s good on-piste, but really comes alive when you duck off-piste into the more interesting areas of the resort. The ski tracks very precisely and rewards energetic skiing, giving you plenty to push into when navigating bumps, tight trees, steep chutes, or just ripping groomers back to the lift. In fresh powder it belies its waist width, floating really well thanks to the big shovels.

Atomic’s new women’s all-mountain freeride ski, the Maven 103 CTi not only bridges the gap between the on- and off-piste categories, it truly excels in each, offering a smooth, chatter-free ride off piste. A big departure from the existing Maven, the new 103 CTi incorporates design elements from the FWT-proven Maverick 115 CTi into a more versatile package for aggressive lighter weight skiers–very powerful edge grip, solid stability in crud, a penchant for longer turns than the 17m sidecut radius might suggest. All of our female testers agreed the Maven 103 CTi is an excellent choice as an everyday, jill-of-all-trades ski for just about anywhere in the West no matter the conditions.

Blizzard Sheeva 10

  • Waist Width: 102 mm
  • Weight (174cm): 1735 g
  • Best for: A women's ski that can handle it all, no matter what.

Read POWDER's full review of the Blizzard Sheeva 10 here.

Skiing heavy, cruddy snow isn’t all that fun usually. That is, unless you have the right pair of skis. Blizzard’s new women’s-specific Sheeva 10 is definitely one of those, optimized to provide a consistent and predictable ride in just about any conditions and terrain. Inside, the Sheeva features the same Freeride Trueblend woodcore as the men’s Rustler series as well as a slightly lighter version of their Fluxform metal construction (eg. there’s one less sheet of Titanal inside). 

At 102mm underfoot, they will serve you well any day of the season, but ski very differently from the Anomaly 102. All that adds up to a ski that’s stiff, but not too stiff–these are a hard-charging but reliable women's all-mountain resort ski for when there’s a big question mark on the conditions report.

Dynastar M-Pro 100 and Women's M-Pro 98W

  • Waist Width: 100/98 mm
  • Weight (186cm): 2000 g
  • Best for: Steep terrain and variable snow conditions.

Read POWDER's full review of the Dynastar M-Pro 100 and women's M-Pro 98W here.

The magic of the all mountain ski category is that it encompasses such a wide variety of shapes, flex profiles, and constructions that all bring a unique style of the sensation of sliding around on snow. It can be overwhelming. Despite its on-piste-only looks, Dynastar’s M-Pro 100 is an absolute weapon off the beaten path, confidently ripping turns in steep and technical terrain, especially when the snow is soft and edgeable. The ski has boundless energy and responds immediately, adding snap and a serious fun factor to skiing bumps, chalky bowls, and tight trees. It’s the kind of ski that will have you gapping over moguls at speed instead of just slithering through them, and grinning ear to ear as you drop your friends racing down the headwall of a steep bowl.

The women's M-Pro 98 W version performs similarly well all over the mountain. Even with its very pronounced tip rocker, the M-Pro 98 W cuts through bumps and crud at high speeds and remains easily maneuverable. Testers noted that the same tip shape also inspired confidence when skiing a longer-length model of the ski. While the directional shape and rocker profile might make it more attractive to hard charging skiers wanting to ride big-mountain terrain, once the ski was at speed, the stiffness allowed all testers to feel confident. 

K2 Reckoner 102 and Women's Reckoner 102 W

  • Waist Width: 102 mm
  • Weight (177cm): 1900 g
  • Best for: Park rats looking to explore the mountain.

Read POWDER's full review of the K2 Reckoner 102/W here.

All-mountain freestyle skis really have one design goal: be fun. For 24/25, the much-loved K2 Reckoner 102/102W (same ski, different topsheet) gets a total overhaul all in the name of improving pop, playfulness, and agility. The new ski has a similar footprint and profile to the previous model, with a smidge more camber underfoot and a slightly stiffer midsection, but with softer tips and tails.

The updated construction translates to a ski with a little more oomph underfoot than the previous Reckoner 102. It has a bit more energy edge to edge when carving on groomers and a little more bite too. Overall, the ski is more surfy feeling than edgy. It isn’t a powerful ski for charging on groomers but skied with a light touch it’s still quite rewarding on hardpack. It's excellent on jumps, rails, and sidehits, and really fun to rip through moguls and other variable snow. If you're a park skier who's excited to explore the rest of the mountain, and jib everything in sight, the Reckoner 102/102W might want to be your next ski of choice.

Nordica Enforcer 104 and Women's Santa Ana 102

  • Waist Width: 104/102 mm
  • Weight (173cm): 1960 g
  • Best for: Hard-charging ex-racers.

Read POWDER's full review of the Nordica Enforcer 104 and women's Nordica Santa Ana 102 here.

Nordica’s new Enforcer 104 has an insatiable appetite for speed and offers one of the quietest, dampest rides on the mountain. With a heavy focus on hard-snow, high-speed inbounds ripping, it’s not particularly playful, but if your legs can handle the Enforcer’s ability to plow through absolutely everything in your path, it really unleashes a new way to ski your favorite runs. On hardpack, the edge grip is astounding. The ski’s double metal-laminate and wood/elastomer core construction eats up inconsistencies in the snow with absolutely zero chatter. A big part of the redesign involved adding some tail rocker, bridging the gap between the nearly twin-tipped Enforcer Free and the old flat-tailed Enforcer 100.

There’s a reason the Santa Ana is one of Nordica’s most popular ski lines. The widest in the line but not wide enough to be considered a true powder ski, the Santa Ana 102 moves between conditions as easily as it does across the mountain, and takes many of the Enforcer 104's design elements into play. Combining that same wood/elastomer core with a single sheet of titanal, the Santa Ana 102 makes a strong case as the perfect daily women's ski for the Rockies and West Coast.

Völkl M7 Mantra and Women's Völkl Secret 96

  • Waist Width: 96 mm
  • Weight (184cm): 2090 g
  • Best for: High speed crud busting.

Read POWDER's full review of the Völkl M7 Mantra and women's Völkl Secret 96 here.

Völkl’s seventh version of the venerable Mantra and Secret 96 (same ski, different topsheet) doesn’t change its tune. It’s a further evolution and refinement of the ski that has been the gold standard for high-performance all mountain skiing, no matter what snow conditions lie underfoot. The new ski features Völkl’s 4-Radius Drive sidecut technology, which adjusts the turn radius to various sections of the ski to optimize edge grip and stability.

While definitely not for everyone, the new M7 Mantra does what old Mantras have done, only better–lay trenches on groomers, blast through chunky off-piste snow, and perform like a finely-tuned sports car under the boots of a powerful skier.

Völkl Blaze 104

  • Waist Width: 104 mm
  • Weight (186cm): 1780 g
  • Best for: A one-ski quiver for resort and backcountry use.

Read POWDER's full review of the Völkl Blaze 104 here.

As an excellent one-ski-quiver option for both touring and the resort, Völkl’s Blaze 104 is equally at home chasing chalky steeps inbounds as it is deep in the mountains skipping through powder meadows. At under 1800 grams, it would make an excellent ski to mount a pair of hybrid bindings for split resort/touring use, or to use as a full-time backcountry freeride ski. 

Thanks to subtle but long rocker lines in the tip and tail, the Blaze 104 is shockingly maneuverable in tight terrain and happy making short radius turns in trees, chutes, or anywhere without a lot of room to spare. While still a very directional ski, with a massive tip and a much smaller tail, it feels a lot more modern and “fun” than the Völkls of yesteryear. If you’re a skier looking for a single ski to ride all season long, the Blaze 104 would be a very safe bet.

Salomon Départ 1.0

  • Waist Width: 104 mm
  • Weight (180cm): 1740 g
  • Best for: Turning the whole mountain into your playground.

Read POWDER's full review of the Salomon Départ 1.0 here.

Salomon hasn't made a freestyle ski for several years, but returns to the game for 24/25 with their long-awaited Départ 1.0–one of the most unique shapes of the season. It looks like anything but a traditional twin-tipped park ski, and that’s because athletes and designers Sami Ortlieb and Nico Vuignier didn’t want a spin-to-win comp stick. 

Instead, they recognize that freestyle skiing is turning back into all-mountain skiing, and returning to its pre-terrain park roots. They wanted a ski to express their creativity anywhere there’s snow on the ground (or not). With deep rocker lines, a pointy directional tip shape, and a core built specifically to generate as much pop as possible, the Départ promises to help you unleash your inner freestyler anywhere on the hill. It floats, it pivots, it carves, it’s weird, and most of all, it’s really fun.

Rossignol Super Black Ops 98

  • Waist Width: 98 mm
  • Weight (182cm): 2000 g
  • Best for: Non-stop edge grip when rallying hardpack.

Read POWDER's full review of the Rossignol Super Black Ops 98 here.

It's not a new model for 2025, but Rossignol’s Super Black Ops 98 is still exciting. The ski is a precisely-tuned sports car that bridges the gap between all-mountain jibbing and on-piste carving performance. The ridiculous 80s-inspired topsheet (ignore it or embrace it!) hints at the skis intentions–embracing your inner hotdogger and having fun all over the mountain. 

But this isn’t your average dad ski. Mixing rock-solid edge grip with a damp, smooth ride, the Super Black Ops 98 beckons for speed and style no matter the terrain or conditions. It’s been around for a few years now, but we hope it doesn’t go anywhere anytime soon.

Jerry Jones is getting exactly what he wants with Micah Parsons drama

Jerry Jones is getting exactly what he wants with Micah Parsons drama

Do not let any of the noise and drama fool you. Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones is getting exactly what he wants with the Micah Parsons contract negotiation, even as it reached a boiling point on Friday with the star edge-rusher declaring a public trade demand. It's the perfect storm for Jones because all of this is doing the one thing that he loves more than anything in the world. It is keeping his team, his beloved Dallas Cowboys, as the top story in the NFL and the top headliner maker in the league. His team, his player and his story are the one thing that everybody is talking about. It's the top headline on every sports website. It's the top story on "SportsCenter" and ESPN. It's dominating the radio waves. It's put a spotlight on the Cowboys star and driven all of the NFL's discussions toward them. It doesn't matter if it's overly dramatic — or even bad press. It's still press. It's still focus on them. In Jones' world, the motto of "no press is bad press" is very much a way of life. He isn't worried about getting the best deal for the Cowboys or their salary-cap situation, and he might not even be concerned with putting the best possible team on the field. He is simply concerned with the Cowboys being the league's biggest newsmaker. There is a reason all of these big-time contract negotiations play out this way for the Cowboys. Whether it was Zack Martin, Ezekiel Elliott, Dez Bryant, Dak Prescott, CeeDee Lamb or Parsons, they have all played out the same way. The Cowboys dragged their feet, a holdout was either threatened or started, the bridges seemed to be burning between the player and team, the negotiations would dominate the news cycle and then eventually a new, more expensive deal would eventually emerge. That is almost certainly how this process is going to play out. Trade demands get made all the time in the NFL, and they do not guarantee a trade will get made. It is often a last-ditch negotiating tactic to speed things along. They usually work in that context. By the time the regular season rolls around, the Cowboys and Parsons will likely come to terms on a contract, and all of this will be forgotten. It will probably end up costing Jones and the organization more than it would have had they agreed to a deal sooner, but again, that wouldn't have given the Cowboys the headlines they want. It is almost as if Jones likes having to pay top dollar because then he can talk about how he negotiated and paid out the most expensive deal. It's about glitz and glamour as opposed to dollars and cents. All of this fits in with Jones' overall mindset and approach when it comes to running the Cowboys. He is the decision-maker. He is the football guy. He is the only owner who does weekly news conferences after every game as if he's the coach, and he is the only owner who does a weekly radio show discussing the X's and O's of the team. It's all about satisfying his own ego, and nothing satisfies his ego more than seeing his team and his name in the news. A drawn-out contract negotiation is the best way to do that when there are no games being played. In terms of on-field success, the Cowboys have mostly been an afterthought over the past 30 years. No Super Bowls, no NFC Championship Game appearances (the longest current drought in the NFC) and mostly mediocre finishes. Any other franchise with that sort of track record would be an afterthought in the NFL. But not the Cowboys. Not Jerry Jones. It is all by design. It's the only thing they want and care about.

Steelers Spark Crazy Trade Rumors After Cowboys' Micah Parsons' Prior Comments Resurface
NFL

Steelers Spark Crazy Trade Rumors After Cowboys' Micah Parsons' Prior Comments Resurface

Khan has openly said he will never pass up the chance to explore opportunities that could improve the team. On Friday, news broke that Parsons requested a trade out of Dallas. While the possibility of landing Parsons remains a long shot, this request provides Khan with a rare window to investigate whether there’s a way to bring one of the league’s most dominant pass rushers to Pittsburgh. Earlier in February 2025, Parsons spoke with former Steelers cornerback turned analyst Bryant McFadden about the Steelers. During the conversation, McFadden joked that the Steelers logo would look good on Parsons. Parsons responded playfully, saying he would love to play for Mike Tomlin, adding fuel to the speculation that a move to Pittsburgh might not be completely out of the question. "Nah, I rock with the Steelers," Parsons said. "I said if I ever return home it was going to be Pittsburgh. I mess with Mike Tomlin the long way." It’s no secret that Tomlin is one of the most popular head coaches in the NFL. Many players have expressed a strong desire to play for him, and that reputation has sometimes helped the Steelers attract top talent. A prime example of this is when the Steelers convinced four-time league MVP Aaron Rodgers to join the team, a move that energized the fanbase and boosted expectations. The idea of Parsons lining up alongside TJ Watt and the rest of Pittsburgh’s elite defense is both thrilling and intimidating. While it remains a very far-fetched possibility, Parsons’ recent comments about wanting to play for the Steelers have sparked excitement among fans. These remarks, made in 2025, add fuel to the speculation that a trade could be in the cards, even if the odds are slim. Parsons, who grew up in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, shared a message on social media Friday explaining what really led to his trade request. If Parsons has any influence over his next destination, and if Khan can work his magic, the Steelers might just have a slim but real chance to pull off a trade. Landing Parsons would instantly make Pittsburgh’s defense one of the most fearsome in NFL history, though it remains an ambitious long shot. Steelers Chances Of Trading For Micah Parsons Are Low While the thought of Parsons playing in the black and gold for the 2025 season is certainly exciting, the logistics would be very complex, though not impossible. Parsons is clearly unhappy with the Cowboys, and Jerry Jones has not helped their chances of keeping him satisfied. He officially wants out, and now is the time for Khan to see if there’s any logical way to pull off a crazy trade.

Pirates take yet another PR hit for mishandling David Bednar trade 
MLB

Pirates take yet another PR hit for mishandling David Bednar trade 

The Pittsburgh Pirates brutally fumbled the 2025 trade deadline, even by their miserable standards. But it wasn't just the fact that their moves made little sense and did nothing to improve the short-term and long-term outlook of the franchise. It is also now about the way they handled the trade involving closer David Bednar going to the New York Yankees. Bednar revealed on Friday night during an interview with YES Network that he only found out about the trade on social media, and it took a phone call to his agent and quite a bit of time before he got the actual confirmation that he was going to the Yankees. On one hand, this is not entirely unheard of. Sometimes trade news breaks early due to a leak within somebody's front office, and on trade deadline day, teams can have their hands full trying to make deals before they run out of time. Sometimes things slip through the cracks. But it still seems like poor form for the Pirates not to have their ducks in a row when it comes to informing their player about a trade. Especially, in this case, a player like Bednar. Not only has he been one of the few bright spots on the Pirates over the past five years, but he is also from the Pittsburgh area and fully embraced being a Pirate. He loved it. He loved playing there. He wanted to play there and seemed open to staying. That is not an easy thing to find, given where the franchise has been and how consistently bad it has been over the past four decades. Outside of a tough 2024 season and some early struggles this season, he was also a wildly popular player among the fans. The Pirates also knew that to the point where owner Bob Nutting reportedly blocked a potential Bednar trade a couple of years ago. A player with that sort of standing within the organization should not have to find out about being traded through social media. They should certainly not have to have their agent track down official sources to confirm it. For most teams, and if this sort of situation were taking place in a vacuum, it may not be that big of a deal. It would probably be just a minor slip-up and footnote to the trade deadline. But the Pirates are not a normal team, and this situation is not happening in a vacuum. The Pirates have spent the entire season creating self-inflicted PR nightmares all over the place, from the Roberto Clemente tribute that was taken door for a hard seltzer ad, to the handling of Bucco Bricks outside of PNC Park, to "Sell the team" chants consistently breaking out, to the simple fact the organization has been an absolute mess on the field and one of the worst teams in baseball. Now they can add allowing a popular, fan favorite to find out about his trade through social media to the list. Even worse for Pirates fans, they seemed to get the worst value for their All-Star closer than other teams (specifically the A's and Minnesota Twins) received for their All-Star closers. This is a franchise that just simply can not do anything right.

Aliyah Boston Has One Word After Big Indiana Fever News

Aliyah Boston Has One Word After Big Indiana Fever News

Caitlin Clark’s extended injury absence has prompted the Indiana Fever’s front office to make a move during this crucial juncture in the season. This came in the form of signing 6-foot-2 forward Chloe Bibby on a seven-day contract on July 25. That short-term deal has now come to an end, which has forced Indiana to make a decision on Bibby’s status with the team. Indiana Fever Sign Chloe Bibby The team announced on Thursday that Bibby will now be with the squad for the remainder of the season. This is after the 27-year-old put pen to paper on a rest-of-season contract. The Fever rewarded Bibby with a new deal after two strong performances. She helped Indiana secure back-to-back wins on Sunday against the Chicago Sky and on Wednesday against the Phoenix Mercury. In her first two appearances for the Fever, the Australian averaged 9.0 points and 2.0 triples in just 12.0 minutes off the bench. Aliyah Boston Reacts to the News Fever fans have been clamoring for a long-term contract for Bibby, and they finally got their wish on Friday. This was met with excitement by the Indiana faithful, which was also the case for Fever star Aliyah Boston. The three-time All-Star took to Instagram to share her reaction to the Bibby news. Boston used just one word to express her excitement. “ wohoo,” she wrote. Bibby has been with the team for merely a week, but she’s already made quite an impact on her new teammates. Boston’s enthusiasm over Bibby’s new deal is a testament to the same. As for her basketball, Boston has needed to step up amid Clark’s absence. While the recent Bibby boost has been great for Indiana, Boston has taken center stage as Clark continues to nurse her re-aggravated groin. In the five games Clark has sat out, Boston has put up averages of 14.2 points, 9.6 rebounds, 4.4 assists and 1.4 steals in 31.8 minutes per contest. Boston will need to keep her foot on the gas on Friday against Paige Bueckers and the Dallas Wings if she hopes to help lead Indiana to its fourth straight win.
