Anima Ski - 2026 by Black Crows — A smeary, floaty 115mm-waisted big mountain/freeride ski with ample flex; however, this isn't a noodle as it has a poplar core with kevlar and carbon additives.
Atris Ski - 2026 by Black Crows — A classic freeride ski that is maneuverable and poppy for 105mm underfoot and has a thick poplar core + fiberglass without other additives. A stylish twin tip "fun ski"
Rustler 10 Ski - 2026 by Blizzard — A killer combo of Blizzard's strong TrueBlend core of poplar/beech/pauwlonia with metal around the frame and a wide-splaying twin tip profile. Can smash, pivot, spin, and actually carve very well when needed. One of the most versatile skis out there. The 10 is 102mm underfoot.
Camox Ski - 2026 by Black Crows — A very popular combo of play and business with this one from Black Crows - a super thick poplar and ash core but a twin tip profile, semi-cap construction, and a high camber underfoot gives this pop like none other for airs while being more toward the all-mountain category at 97mm underfoot. An ideal ski for playful experts who aren't in the park much but still like to get air on side hits and on the backside of the mountain.
Nomad 100 Ski - 2026 by Icelantic — I own the 96mm version of this as my park ski. A twin tip profile, lightweight poplar/paulownia construction, and Icelantic's bombproof 3-year warranty + handmade construction make this a great buy if you aren't charging at top speeds with a heavier frame. Can get overpowered by these skiers, but is ideal for super playful freeriders and park skiers who don't break the scale.
Optic 96 Ski - 2026 by Line — My favorite ski from freestyle brand Line and their most versatile - this combines a light aspen core with quite a bit of metal to be a strong carver for a full twin tip play machine. Can stick big landings, spin, and carve wide arcs with a generous 19m turn radius. Great for intermediate and advanced skiers with an emphasis on fun and style.
Sender Soul 102 Ski - 2026 by Rossignol — A ski with a huge audience. This is 102mm underfoot with a titanal beam down the center of its air-tipped poplar construction for a combination of light weight (for its size), maneuverability, and strength. Don't be confused by "Sender Pro" (which is their entry level model), the "Soul" is actually the one you want if you are an intermediate, advanced, or expert skier. The heaviest big mountain chargers might need something even more stable, but overall this can be a great ski for nearly anyone.
Nighstick 97 Ski - 2026 by Fischer — A great advanced/expert level park ski that actually has some titanal in it along with a poplar core instead of the metal-less pauwlonia park noodles that predominate the market. This boasts durability and strength while of course being a dedicated park twin tip. Cool look to boot!
Bent 100 Ski - 2026 by Atomic — The standard-bearer for freeride and park skis that can work for newer intermediates all the way through high advanced skiers. A simple, traditional build with no metal additives or carbon, a twin tip shape, and ample flex make this a great tree ski, powder ski, and park ski. One of the few 100mm wide skis you see in the park due to its light weight.
ARV 94 Ski - 2026 by Armada — Likely the best park ski in terms of its all-mountain performance and versatility. This is a great, proven ski for those who don't always live in the park but spend at least 50% of their time there most days.
Koala 103 Foundation Ski - 2025 by DPS Skis — A DPS ski on sale! The Koala 103 is their park ski with a twin tip shape and lighter wood core, though it adds carbon stringers for some added strength. If you wanted a taste of the legendary high-end DPS quality without breaking the bank, this is a great twin tip play ski to check out!
K2 Men's Mindbender 120 BOA Ski Boots 27.5 Mondo by K2 — Very lightweight for their flex, with tech inserts for backcountry skinning when needed and a 50 degree range of motion in walk mode. MultiFit last means that the standard 100mm width can be adjusted +- 4mm to avoid fit problems. GripWalk soles and BOA fit adjustment on the lower shell.
Tecnica Men's Cochise 130 Ski Boots Orange 27.5 Mondo by Tecnica — A classic freeride boot from Tecnica with tech inserts, a 50 degree range of motion in tour mode, a medium-narrow 99mm last width, and stiff 130 flex for expert skiers.
Cabrio LV Free 130 3D Wrap Ski Boot - 2026 by Dalbello Sports — Even though these say LV for Low Volume, the last width is 99mm, which is medium and fits most feet. The cabrio style developed by Dalbello yields the most comfortable boot on the market - I know because I own them! There is nothing like stepping into a cabrio boot hands-free. The Free edition of this boot is lighter and has tech inserts for backcountry freeriders who need to be able to skin uphill to access epic terrain. The 3D wrap liners are also the most comfortable (I wish more companies would use them), making this the ideal freeride boot in my opinion.
IL Moro Pro 3D Wrap Ski Boot - 2026 by Dalbello Sports — If you liked Full Tilt freestyle boots, this is for you! The cabrio style allows for max comfort and ease of step-in and step-out, along with more forward flex than standard boots (great for landings). This is the highest flex rating freestyle boot from Dalbello, and it is winning awards left and right in 2026. The wrap liner adds to the comfort and cuts down on shin bang in my experience (I own the Dalbello Panterra cabrio boot).
Revolve TW Ski Boot - 2026 by K2 — The Tom Wallisch pro model freestyle boot from K2 that hearkens back to the classic Full Tilt boots before K2 bought that company. A 100 flex is medium (but for park boots on the high end), and, along with the 3D wrap liner and cabrio format, yield a very comfortable freestyle boot that is easy to get on and off and won't kill your feet. A medium-narrow 99mm last; get the Henrik Harlaut model for a wider 102mm last.
Look Pivot 2.0 15 GripWalk Ski Bindings Orange 105 Mm by Look — If you want a freestyle/park binding, you want a Pivot. These are a necessity in my opinion in the park, as the pivot design allows for more float/travel from side to side on landings and when initiating spins which helps prevent accidental clip-outs and certain knee injuries during crashes. There is a reason these are all you see in competition! I own them and can attest to their max safety with freestyle.
Jester 18 Pro Ski Binding - 2026 by Marker — The top of the line Royal Family series binding from the best in the biz, Marker. With freestyle, you want to have the highest DIN possible and there are very few 18 DIN bindings on the market. Having the highest DIN prevents accidental clip-outs due to heavy landings and fully torqued spin setups - you do NOT want your skis flying through the air separate from you.
Duke PT 16 Ski Binding - 2026 by Marker — There are lighter touring-capable bindings out there, but none that offer as high a DIN rating with as much on-piste capability as the Duke PT. Skis like a Jester 16 that happens to allow for uphill skinning, so rather than thinking of this as a touring binding, consider it as a top of the line, expert-level freeride binding for backcountry pow hounds.
Pivot 2.0 18 GW Ski Binding - 2026 by Look — The highest-DIN Pivot binding for the biggest park senders and cliff huckers who seek out the pivot design's extra knee protection and elastic travel that helps prevent accidental clip-outs during spins and heavy landings. I own these!
black crows Meta Ski Poles - Pair Black 115 Cm by Black Crows — If you are an expert freerider or park rat, then you know - you are going to fall once in awhile trying something sweet. In those cases, you definitely don't want to try to get up using a bendy carbon pole! So for this use case, only the strongest alloy poles need apply - and there's nothing more stylish than a loud Black Crows pole!
Faction Ski Poles - Pair Pink 115 Cm by Faction — The product description says it all - "these Faction Ski Poles are strong enough to endure your resort and backcountry days, whether you're skinning up steep slopes or stomping big landings." Though they leave out how cool these look!
Squad MAG Goggles by Smith Optics — I don't think the performance of the 4D MAG is noticeably higher than these Squads, which also feature the award-winning I/O Mag lens swap system. Great for freestyle and freeride.
Calyx Carbon Helmet by POC — A strong, lightweight carbon helmet from the top of the line manufacturer POC, this lid has removable ear pads so when you are super overheated in the park or sessioning a backcountry feature, you can get some relief!
Marauder Elite Goggles by Spy — Top of the line magnetic-interchange goggles with toric lenses from Spy for max freestyle cache
Waypoint Goggles by Spy — Great contrast in flat light with the Happy Lens tech and the same magnetic interchange system as the higher end model I have also linked in this list.
Cloudfall Polarized Goggles by Zeal — I own these and love the Rail Lock lens interchange system and the Observation Deck lens style which is similar to the Flight Decks by Oakley at a much better price point.
Flight Deck L Prizm Goggles by Oakley — The famed Flight Deck style from Oakley for a huge field of view! Every little bit counts when spotting landings during spins and flips!
Rooster II Mips Aksel Helmet by Sweet Protection — A stylish freeride/freestyle helmet from Sweet Protection that has MIPS for rotational impacts and audio-compatible ear pads
Cirque Helmet by Pret Helmets — A super stylish lid with a Fidlock strap system to use with gloves on, top level venting, MIPS protection against shearing forces, audio compatible ear pads, and a Halo liner for odor resistance when you are working hard. Highly recommended.
The Backslap Goggle by Pit Viper — Gotta have Pit Vipers if you want to stunt in the terrain park with max style!
