From the shop floor
Staff picks
What our people are skiing this season, in their own words. Every pick is a Rodgers post from Instagram, quoted as written.
Staff pick · Robbie, Lincoln, NH
Elan Ripstick 96 Black
“In the days of the 1 ski quiver, the Elan Ripstick 96 Black stood out from the rest as a lightweight, agile platform that hard charges on the downhill, and performs when you want to play and get creative. Those days are over, but the Ripstick is still here. This would be a great addition to a quiver, or could be that one ski that you drive daily, and at $699 including bindings, someone's going home with an absolute steal on this ski.”
Staff pick · Denis, Lincoln, NH
Atomic Redster 130 World Cup Race Boot
“The Atomic Redster 130 World Cup Race Boot offers a race-focused shell and narrow World Cup fit that delivers exceptional power, precision, and edge control for aggressive skiing.”
Staff pick · Jamie, Lincoln, NH
Atomic Arc 735 RS
“One of the most enjoyable mid-radius carvers on the market in the X9S — the limited edition 1990-91 Arc graphic will make all your friends jealous and be a conversation starter in the lift line.”
Staff pick · Avery, Lincoln, NH
Blizzard Black Pearl
“The two-piece Titanal layup gives you real edge hold on the hardpack, but the women's-specific wood core keeps it light and playful enough to throw around all day.”
Shop Favorites
Rossignol Forza 70
“One of the shop favorites: carve like a mad man, manage ski’d off chop like a mad man, and can handle the occasional bump run with ease.”
Atomic Maverick 88
“The perfect east coast ski?”
Salomon S/Lab QST Blank
“With a 112 waist these things charge in new snow but are powerful and responsive on crud and groomers. Wicked versatile!”
Elan Playmaker 91
“Hero laps and sunshine. Slashing moguls like nobody’s business.”
Blizzard Canvas 100
“Team rider Devon calls the ’26/’27 Blizzard Canvas 100 the ski of the day at Waterville demo day.”
Booster straps
“Booster Straps kill the dead zone at the start of your flex so your shin connects instantly with the boot instead of smashing into it later.”
