All Mountain skis 2022 – Review of 6 awesome (and awful) skis

In this video we take a closer look at some of the most interesting do-it-all skis for winter 2021/2022. We have skied 6 different all mountain skis and we’ll let you know all the details about them and more importantly: How do they perform on and off piste? We grade the skies from a minimum of 1 all the way up to 5 points, or as we say – from awful up to awesome.

The skis range from the narrowest Elan Voyager 78 mm under foot up to Norse The Enduro which is 100 mm wide in the waist, between these we find Rossignol Experience 86 Ti, Atomic Maverick 95 Ti, Salomon Stance 96 and Black Diamond Impulse 98.

Elan Voyager (2022)
Foldable skis to the people! We have tried Elan Voyager, the first foldable frontside ski in the world. Made for the groomers with it´s 78 mm waist.

Lengths: 160,166 and 172 cm
Folded length 93 cm @172 cm och 87 cm @160 cm
Dimension: 127-78-110 mm
Weight: 3400 g @160cm

Slovenian ski brand Elan showed the world it´s foldable ski Ibex Tactix back in 2017, it was a ski developed for military jumping out of helicopters with parachutes. Since then Ibex Tactix has hit the market and serves people who do ski tours and wants to have a foldable ski for that.

Voyager are made for groomers in the ski resort. Marketed as a “all mountain” but it´s more of a pure pist ski as we see it. The mechanism behind both Voyager and Ibex Tactix is Elan’s “Connect Technology”. Basically a hinge and a four-axis mechanism that bonds and seals the ski together at the folding joint. This combines with a carbon-reinforced fusion plate that serves as a load-bearing platform for support. Turning the plate in place and looking it, and you´re good to go skiing. Unlocking the plate and then rotating it frees the hinge, and you can fold the ski.
