The Best Park Skis of 2027

There’s more to a park ski than just being a twin tip and having a trippy topsheet These planks are built to take beatings in the terrain park, from rails to jump lines, while still letting you spin, slide and stomp landings with ease. Below you’ll find your next ride-or-die park ski for the 2027 season, curated by yours truly. 

J Skis Masterblaster

Lengths 160, 167, 174, 181, 188 cm

DIM 131-97-117 mm @ 181 cm

Radius 18.8 m @ 181 cm

Completely redesigned for 2027, this powerful, mid-waisted ski from J's Charge Collection is now lighter and more approachable while preserving the potent personality that has made it a flagship of the brand. At the heart of the ski is a lightweight wood core paired with a Titanal laminate that spans the center two-thirds of the ski. With no metal in the tip and tail, the swing weight is reduced and the result is a ski that feels remarkably nimble for how powerful it is. 

Ellis Sabr 100

Lengths 174, 180, 186 cm

DIM 129-100-120 mm

Radius 19.6 m @ 180 cm

A relative newcomer to the ski world, Ellis is the brainchild of Kevin Schaefer and Sean O'Brien, co-founders and industry veterans who cut their teeth at brands like DPS, 4FRNT, Blackcrows and Never Summer. The new Sabr 100 is the narrowest ski in their lineup, featuring a midweight poplar core that feels stout underfoot, enhancing edge control and providing confidence as you tear through hardpack turns.

Volkl Revolt 101

Lengths 168, 175, 182, 189 cm

DIM 133-101-115 mm

Radius 19 m @ 182 cm

Last year, Volkl introduced a new freeride ski to the Revolt family. The 101 mimics the flatter, more directional tail shape and robust feel of the Revolt 114. It was met with admiration for its ability to tackle hard-packed conditions and maneuverability in the steeps.

Atomic Bent Decode 92

Lengths 158, 167, 176, 185 cm

DIM 123-92-117 mm @ 176 cm

Radius 17 m @ 176 cm

Lauded by skiers the world over, the Bent collection has inspired countless riders to attack the resort and backcountry with a loose and surfy style reminiscent of Chris Benchetler himself. Until now, the designers at Atomic have never produced a Bent model dedicated to park skiers. The new Decode model is here to fill that niche, combining all of the flow and finesse of its older brethren into a narrow-waisted version that's ready to slay parks from coast to coast.

Salomon depart.02

Lengths 164, 172, 180, 188 cm

DIM 134-100-122 mm @ 180 cm

Radius 15 m @ 180 cm

When Salomon introduced the world to the iconic 1080 ski, they incidentally shaped the future of freeskiing more than any brand before. Nearly three decades later, they're once again pushing the culture and sport forward with the Départ series. Brought to life by an all-star crew that includes Sämi Ortlieb, Nico Vuignier and Gavin Rudy, the new Départ.02 builds on the success of the 01, now in a more slender build with a softer core.
