In-Depth Review: 2022 Line Chronic

Brands send us the sticks and we spend a solid chunk of our own seasons shredding them. For 18-19 theres an all-new, completely redesigned Line Chronic. Thats a pretty big deal.

Völkl Skis: Beyond The Podium

Though each skier represented a different nation, all three ride for a single brand: Volkl Skis. That podium sweep solidified what we already knew, Volkls competition skiers are at the top of the game.
