BACK-BOWL BOARDS
Good for All Mountain
More of a freeride ski than the Blizzard or V枚lkl, the Lord excels at slinking around the resort in search of bumps, steeps, and leftover powder. But it’s no noodle. The edge grip was unfailing—especially impressive for a ski with a gently rockered tip and a subtle kicked tail. Our only gripe? On hard snow it feels a little slow to enter a carved turn. Fault may lie in that upturned tip, which doesn’t contact snow until you arc the ski. 128/88/116;
