2026 / 2027 Skis, Boots & Bindings

When Sammy Carlson needs a break from bottomless pillows and pow, he hops on the new Whitewalker 108 — a slimmed down version of his signature Whitewalker 116 designed to excel in a wider variety of snow conditions. The 108 combines the lightweight construction and playful shape of the existing Whitewalker 116 and 121 with a more versatile waist width, making it a great choice for your daily driver or a 50/50 resort and backcountry ski. With three widths to choose from, the Whitewalker line now offers something for (almost) everyone!

Antimatter is Armada’s latest foray into the world of high performance all mountain freeride. The new skis combine Speedmetal Titanal laminate construction with innovative shapes and a loose character, embodying Armada’s playful approach to freeride skiing. The Antimatter 114 (Max Palm’s signature ride) and 108 lead the line, with dedicated men’s and women’s models for the Antimatter 100 / 92 / 88 / 82 / and 75.

We know you've been taking your Bents into the park for years, but there's finally a legit tool for the job. The all new Bent Decode is tuned for progressive freestyle performance with a balanced, playful swing weight that delivers in the air and on the ground. The bold tip and tail design will turn heads, but it's the buttery, agile feel that will have park skiers losing their minds.

Easy entry boots have been having a moment over the last few years, and Atomic want in on the action. Enter, Nexus — a brand new boot combining easy entry convenience with capable downhill performance. Atomic's NexStep design connects traditional overlap construction with a QuickFlip rear lever that opens the boot wide for effortless entry. Once you’re in, you adjust cable tension as needed and flip the lever down to lock in a secure fit. Voila!

Canvas is an all new freeride collection built to maximize fun and creativity on the descent. Blizzard tapped their athlete team to spearhead the design, and the result is unlike anything they’ve built before. Canvas skis come in three waist widths — 100, 108, and 118 — featuring a lightweight, energetic construction that pairs low swing weight with ample stability underfoot. It’s a progressive lineup engineered to get the creative juices flowing all over the mountain, finished with unique topsheets from artist Penelope Misa. Pick your favorite width and get ready to paint your own masterpiece.

A revamped Mindbender lineup introduces four waist widths in a new construction that bridges the gap between lightweight C and beefy Ti models. The secret sauce lies in K2's Dark Matter technology, which adds weight in strategic locations to keep things light without sacrificing all mountain capability. Look for the four embossed areas on the topsheet — they're not just for show, they tell you where the magic happens. The 101 and 111 models have weight positioned closer to the bindings and center of the ski, creating a pivoty, nimble feel in tight terrain. Meanwhile, the 88 and 96 have weight pushed toward the tips, sharpening turn initiation and improving tracking when you're laying into arcs on firm snow. The result is a huge sweet spot that adapts to however you like to ski. Whether you're a methodical carver or a slash-happy freestyler, these skis unlock a smooth, harmonious all mountain feel that deserves your attention.

Anthem boots get a full rebuild with an all new shell tuned specifically for women skiers. This, unfortunately, is revolutionary in the ski boot world, where women's boots are typically scaled down from men's molds. Anthem throws that out the window with a dedicated design that accounts for natural biomechanical differences. The boots feature narrower heels, wider toe boxes, a steeper internal ramp angle, and an increased forward lean to put skiers in the optimal stance to pressure the front of their skis. The cuff features a swanky new calf adjustment mechanism to provide a personalized fit, and the boots go all the way down to size 21.5. These updates are all genuinely exciting, and well overdue — props to K2!!

The all new Code boots are an evolution of the acclaimed XT3 series, complete with BOA closure and a re-engineered external walk mode. Lange chose to take its time implementing BOA on high performance boots, doing the necessary R&D to get it just right. The finely tuned Code lower shell is the result, with proprietary internal molded channels to get the most out of the BOA closure system and achieve the perfect wrapping around the forefoot. Like XT3, these are not the lightest hybrid boots on the market, but you can count on exceptional downhill performance wherever you point them.

The all new Poisson combines metal guts with a playful soul and a wild new “Step Tail” shape. At 110mm underfoot, it’s a freeride scalpel — fast, fluid, and confidence-inspiring for riders who want precision and playfulness in one package. The surf-inspired Step Tail is engineered to break the running surface at a defined point, making the tail easy to release out of turns while still leaving plenty of surface area for float in pow. On firm snow it feels short, snappy, and precise; in deep snow it feels longer and more surfy. Under the hood, a titanal laminate blends hard charging precision with a more forgiving ride in variable snow. This is one to watch!

Sakana is refreshed with an updated layup that adds durability and strength without compromising the playful irreverence that made it special in the first place. Thick-Cut Sidewalls, Bio-Resin, and Line's signature Fatty™ Base and Edges deliver bulletproof toughness in the park, while a slightly turned up tail improves freestyle capability and switch riding.

The all new Unleashed 106 continues Nordica's impressive overhaul of the Unleashed collection. The new shape takes advantage of Nordica's Drift Lock Technology, featuring a single strip of metal tailored to the waist of the ski, and a fresh rocker profile with tip and tail shapes designed to encourage playfulness and flow. Available in both metal and non metal "CA" versions, this ski was one of the standouts at our on-snow demo!

Promachine 3 drops in with overhauled shell technology, new liners, and a fresh look for 26/27. Nordica engineers have been busy perfecting their all new 3Force Frame construction technology, surrounding a lightweight, rigid frame with softer, more pliable plastic in the cuff and shell for the perfect blend of power, response, and comfort. On the inside, 3D Custom Cork Fit Liners mold around the heel to keep you locked in all day. If you're after a precise, performance focused fit, these things are the real deal.
