InTheSnow best skis for 2022

All skis were tested at the SIGB's ski test in Kuhtai March 2022.

James starts by telling us that he likes a very versatile ski, so he really rated the Line Chronic 95 (see what the manufacturer says about this ski later on).
He likes a ski to perform well on piste but also he likes to be able to pop off the side of the piste too, he likes lively and playful and fun skis and The line Chronic 95 really fits that bill

Megan chose the Nordica Santa Ana 93 , she likes an all mountian ski that can perform all over the mountain on and off piste and this is a really lively responsive ski that can do anything.

Rob, in the same vein, wanted an all mountain ski as is all the rage now, Blizzard Brahma 88, he said although it's slightly narrower under foot, it can carve long and short turns but get it off piste and it's great, it's a great seller because all kinds of skier can ski this ski and love it and perform well on it. At £600 it's a bargain.

Line Chronic 95
It's the Chronic, Maaaan! Introducing the 2022/2023 LINE Chronic. Designed for all-mountain freestyle enjoyment, the Chronic is the dopest all-mountain freestyle ski. With over a decade in the game, the Chronic’s award-winning versatile turn shape, symmetric flex, and 95mm waist width will feel just as good carving cork 3's as it will arcing early morning groomers. Whether you're trying to step up to the big jump line like Thomas Trifonitchev, spend late nights in the streets like Jed Waters, or hot-lap the mountain, the Chronic is up to the task. Become part of the C crew and get after it on the Chronic.

Nordica Santa Ana 93
With unmatched versatility, the Santa Ana 93 easily handles both on and off-trail terrain while providing a balanced and stable feel. And although it loves making fluid turns on groomers, it’s at home anywhere thanks to an entirely new construction and shape. A wood core paired with carbon and a sheet of terrain-specific metal make the ski lighter and easier to maneuver. This fresh design also boosts confidence by enhancing edge hold and dampening vibrations for a smooth and stable ride. The Santa Ana 93’s shorter radius makes it easy to control turns and transition between them. And because its 93 mm waist offers exceptional versatility, it’s the perfect daily driver for women looking to carve groomers and explore the entire mountain. Light, powerful, and playful the Santa Ana 93 is the most balanced ski in the collection.

Blizzard Brahma 88
We define all-mountain as a skier who doesn’t color in the lines. It’s more of a philosophy, a sense of freedom to ski whereever you want on the mountain. The Brahma 88 will give you the ability to seize the snowpack throughout the most frigid temperatures and firm conditions. Compared to its wider brethren in this category, the Brahma 88 utilizes its TrueBlend Woodcore, two sheets of metal and reduced rocker profile for a better grip on harder snow but is versatile enough for a variety of snow conditions. This ski will take the energy you give it and transfer that power into the snowpack, so you can rip down the mountain with confidence and ease. As the day’s smooth terrain gets eaten up by hungry skiers, the Brahma has the backbone to ski efficiently through chopped up crud, which means you’ll be skiing longer (and stronger) than everyone else. Enjoy the day - all day, ski the Brahma.
