I love your honest reviews, most professional ski reviews out there. Love it!

This exactly the fun poppy riding I love. The ski run is your playground feel! Great review

Loving it from Tignes in France!

These review formats are fantastic, keep it up fellas!

Great review, this was my second favorite demo this year behind Armada’s declivity 92.

Not as fun or bouncy as my 184cm Head Oblivion 94's, but where the Oblivion are like a 7-10 for skill level the Unleashed 98mm in 186cm are more like a 2-8 for skill and power. You really have to trounce on the Oblivions and they are heavy / ride like a Head racing ski, even though still very good on jumps. Oblivions never vibrate or chatter at speed either. But the Unleashed is like a shotgun that does everything without a lot of effort. Very relaxing and enjoyable and super surf-like. So easy to turn, where as the Oblivion will put you in the ditch or a tree if you sneeze or blink at high speeds. So, i ride the Oblivions on my first ski day and then, if they didn't manage to make me rip every muscle in my body, then i will either snowboard or ride the Unleashed on the second day. If the Oblivions came in a longer 187cm size (i'm 5'11" and weigh 220lbs), as well as making them lighter, then i would just use the machine-gun level feeling of the Oblivions forever (and count the risk of injury or death worth it). However, if i had to choose only one ski forever, then i would definitely ride the Unleashed since it is just so easy and fun and relaxing and feel good! If they just changed the 2mm camber underfoot to something realistic like about 6mm, then it would take years for anyone to beat them. I've always wanted 3DO reactive padding put under a removable Ti top-plate so a skier could decide to make their ski stiffer or softer based on which top-plate sheet of metal is screwed on. I can honestly say that until this ski came out i've always been suffering and always disappointed in every ski i've owned. Finally, this Unleashed comes as close to perfect skiing as it gets! Very light and it makes crud feel like powder even! Can't imagine trying a wider Unleashed out, but Tim at SkiBoot Rx here in Billings loves both the 98 and the 108 Unleashed - so maybe someday i will buy a 108 Unleashed as well. Note: (1) i have / will only ever ride demo bindings so i can move forward on hardpack and back on powder days and still mount them 3 to 5cm back of center (2) i will now only ever ride on Tyrolia Protector demo bindings to prevent a knee injury (am praying they make a touring model of the Protector MTN binding soon). (3) i hate flat tails and have only demoed or owned about 12 different skis, so these guys are more knowledgeable and experience by far than i am. Best reviewers of skis out there!

I was pretty much sold from the first review a year ago...but I've blown my budget for this season...maybe next season.

Great review! Really enjoyed this format. Would like to know how they compare to a salomon 98?

Hi team. Loved this video! Can't decide between these and the Dynastar M-Free 99s as my daily driver. Looking for maximum versatility. i have demoed the M-Frees and love them but wonder how they compare to the Unleashed 98s? Thanks again

Great review guys! I’m a progressing intermediate looking to buy my first skis. Will be skiing out west. Looking forward to improving my carving but also venturing off piste. I feel like lots of the skis in the all mountain 98-104 category are geared toward advanced/expert skiers, which doesn’t describe me and I don’t want something too unforgiving, but would also like something I’d be happy with for a while as I improve. Would this be one to consider?

Can you guys maybe get into the specifics of the 180 vs 186? Thanks!

Hello! You do a great job! Thank you! I'm between Unleashed 98 and Head kore x 90 and can't decide. I'm an intermediate to advance skier, love to ski on and off piste, never tryed the park but never say never, 90 kg, 180 cm. Can you recomand which one should I chose? The 168 or 174 unleashed or the 170 head kore x 90? If it's gonna be the unleashed can I put the marker squre 11? Now I ski the old k2 photon (10 years old or more) so i'm looking for long therm skis. Thank you for your answer!

I have been trying to decide between the unleashed 98 and the rustler 100. I am a pretty aggressive west coast skier who likes to go fast and rip groomers, but I also spend time off piste and love side hits and will take a few park laps on a normal day. Which ski do you think suits me better. I am open to any other recommendations for skis as well.

Hi Guys, quick question as im not sure on the factory recommended mounting point because it kinda seems a little far back for skiing park / tree / offpieste features. Do you have any recommendations? Thank you in advance!

Nice review! I would like to know how would they compare to the Elan Ripstick 96 Black?

Hey guys, great review! I'm looking to replace my Soul Rider 97s with the Unleashed 98s, but unsure which length to go for. I'm 183cm / 90kg, and normally lapping groomers or backcountry. My Soul Riders always felt on the short side at 177, especially given I very rarely ski park. Is the 186 too bigger jump, or will the 180s still feel a little short? Thanks

Hey guys I am an intermediate advanced skier, and finding my way in the park on jumps and pipe/rails I currently have faction prodigy 3s at 178 (im about 174cm , 160pounds). Theyre fun and poppy, love em for jumping off bumpe and side hits, not bad in the park. Unreal in pow. However pow days arent too common for me and im not sure if its the fact they are taller than me a few cm or the 106 width but i have a tough time with them in moguls or trees when there isnt soft snow. I'm looking for another ski to either replace these or have as a second set for those non pow days where i usually just hit the groomer or trees on the way to the park. Looking for smething lighter and more manueverable than my factions that can be good in the park, but not specific park enough that they cant handle some crud or ice. These look like a great option, was also exploring the arv 96, volkll revollt 95, and faction ct 2.0, blackops 98, and unleashed 90 (not sure how different it is from 98) Any recommendations for a lighter park friendly ski on non power days that can handle the variabme conditions??? Would this one be it? Thank u!

Thinking of either picking up a discounted Stance 96 or these for on-piste days up here in Alaska. Not really sure what direction to go in.

You mention this ski being a great carver but at the expense of being a bit of a handful in the bumps. How does that tradeoff compare to skis like an atomic maverick 95 or stance 96? I'm trying to find a great carver that can finish a turn that can still handle bumps without sending you to the chiropractor. Other options to consider?

Do you think these would work as a 60/40 resort/ touring 1-ski quiver? I'm a strong intermediate who splits resort time between the trees/bumps and in the park, but also dabbles in touring decently often. Got some Duke PT 16's I could put on 'em.

Great review. And, how does it compare to the Black Opps 98?

Could you guys comment on these vs the current Rustler 9, Bent 100 and Black Ops? Currently on a 177 Mantra M5, which I love and is a great size in that ski, but I'd like something that is a little easier in tight spots, is more engaging skiing with kids/wife at lower speeds, and is a little more playful and a little more off piste focused. I want to be able to ski a little switch and do 180s off side hits (which I do on the Mantra but I have to be careful) a bit more easily but I'm not a huge park skier (no rails, occasional jumps and 360). Basically, a ski that still has some amount of top end, and is directional, but not AS directional as the Mantras and is more suited to exploring more off piste. Mostly ski PNW and Rockies, with some Midwest (Ohio) thrown in. I ski everything in front of me. Bowls, chutes, trees, groomers, bumps, you name it. I'm 6'0" and 185 lbs for reference.

i like the chairlift talk.. .i did not know that there is a sheet of metal in those skis.. how would you compare these skis to the 104 free? something i have noticed with skiing my 104 free is that when i hit a bump it goes straight to my back.. they also wear me out.. i am going to ski my dps foundation to see if they absorb bumps better.. i am talking about bumps on groomers..

What’s the more versatile ski that does it all, the Elan Rip Stick 98 or the or the Nordica Unleashed 98? I weigh 67 kilos and my height is 165 cm . I’m looking to purchase a 98mm underfoot one quiver ski. If you think any other ski would also work that would be great to hear about them. I really like to ski the trees and off piste as much as possible but will ski the groomers at different times. I own a pair Kastle TX 98 skis which l use for backcountry ski touring but would like to buy an all mountain ski for general resort skiing. I intend to mount the Salomon MN Shift binding on the skis l purchase so they are able to be used to ski both on the resort and off piste at times. Really appreciate your assistance. 😊

As between the Unleashed 98 and the new Rustler 9, might you characterize one ski as having more of a “light on your feet” and playful feeling? I’m 6’, 175-180 lbs., so most likely going with the 180 cm either way. And as between the two, any advantage of one over the other in the bumps? Thanks -

Hi Jeff, does a +2 cm mount makes sense ? or better go +4 or nothing ?

How does the unleashed 98 compare to the 2024 rustler 10?

Guys please can you say a few words how this skies are comparing to the Faction Prodigy 3.0, K2 Poacher, Blizzard Rustler 9. I can't demo any of these skies, but I own Prodigy 3.0 and want to buy one more pair of skies (K2 Poacher, Unleashed 98, Blizzard Rustler 9). An I don't know which are best options for me. I like jumps, tricks, but outside park.

Will we be getting an unleashed 88 next winter?

What bindings would you recommend running with this ski?

For someone who's 188cm/180lbs , would you recommend 180cm or 186cm?

What goggles and helmet are you wearing, Jeff?

Oh boy is this great⛷❄️still getting on snow reviews

7:55 Can you guys be more "gapless" between your goggles and helmet. You all look like your goggles are built into your helmets. 😁
