Our Team’s Favorite Spring Skis

April 15, 2025
We asked our team what skis they grab when the slush hits, the sun’s out, and it’s time to get weird. From park laps to side hits and spring slush slashing — these are our team’s go-to spring skis. Their picks. Their words.

Dylan Siggers

Favorite Spring Ski: Sakana

For Dylan, spring laps are all about keeping things fun and flowing — and that’s exactly why he rides the LINE Sakana. With its tight turning radius and big, floaty tip, the Sakana crushes groomers, deep slush, and resort side hits with style. It’s playful and responsive, making it easy to lay down carves or get creative with mellow jibs. “It just has this relaxed, inspiring vibe,” Dylan says. “You don’t have to go massive or scare yourself to have fun on it — it reminds me why I love skiing.”

Liam Morgan

Favorite Spring Ski: Pandora 106

In the words of Morgz, "The pandora 106 rips every type of condition you find on a spring day! Ice, pow, slush and everything in between. If you want a ski to do anything that a slope or rail can offer the pandora 106 is it! Make everyday a fun day and do it all!"

Jed Waters

Favorite Spring Ski: Chronic 101

In the words of Jed, "The chronic 101 is my favorite spring ski. It really is just one ski that does it all. A little bit wider under foot at 101 it really floats on top of deep slush or any spring condition. I’ve never really felt like I needed anything else on my feet!”

Mitchell Brower

Favorite Spring Ski: Blend & Bacon 108

In the words of Mitchell, “I have 2 favorite skis for spring skiing! If I’m in the park, it’s the blend. Just so buttery and the 98mm waist just surfs the slush. If im skiing the Bacon 108. Charges through the slush, rips the groomers, and is so fun to spin off wind lips!”

Simeon Glas

Favorite Spring Ski: Chronic 101

For Simeon Glas, the Chronic 101 is the ultimate spring choice. “It’s got everything I’m looking for in a ski,” he says. The slightly wider platform gives it more stability in soft, slushy conditions, while still staying super playful and responsive in the park. Whether he’s hot lapping jumps, slashing side hits, or just cruising all-mountain laps, the Chronic 101 does it all. With spring sales in full swing, Simeon’s advice? “Now’s the time — grab a pair and get after it.”

Jonnie Merrill

Favorite Spring Ski: Optic 96 & Vision 104

When it comes to spring skiing, Jonnie Merrill keeps two go-to skis in the rotation: the Optic 96 and the Vision 104. For firm, fast in-bounds laps, he reaches for the Optic 96. “It’s a ripstick,” Jonnie says. “The metal in the ski does its job — the edge grip is unbeatable on hardpack.” But when the snow softens or he’s looking to step into the backcountry, it’s all about the Vision 104. With just enough width to handle slush, pow, or chop, it’s playful and jibby, carves like a champ in the morning, and floats when things get deep. “It skis like the Optic, but lighter and more playful,” he adds — perfect for bouncing between resort laps and touring missions.
