Every year we watch as hunks of wood, sheets of fiberglass, and slivers of carbon, flax, and metal are alchemized into mountain-ready tools that laugh in the face of gravity, and every year we are amazed. The class of 24/25 is no exception – we've had the privilege of testing the latest crop of skis, boots, and bindings, and we’re pleased to report that our favorite pastime is healthier than ever!
The 24/25 season is set to deliver significant innovations in design, technology, and sustainability. The core all mountain category is fighting fit with brand new versions of some old favorites (shoutout Black Pearl, Enforcer, and Santa Ana!), and our bootfitters are happy to see BOA click its way across the wider boot landscape. Whether you’re gearing up to huck cliffs, harvest corn, or hone your pizza pie, there’s something for every skier to look forward to.
So pour yourself a steaming mug of stoke and settle in to our 24/25 Ski Gear Preview to see what winter has in store for you. Once you've had your fill, head over to our Field Tested Reviews for a deep dive on the most hotly anticipated gear.
Dalbello continues to innovate on their 3-piece design philosophy with a new line of Cabrio MV and Cabrio Max boots. The new boots replace their long-running Panterra line, introducing a more cohesive collection under the Cabrio name with low, mid, and high volume options.
The new Cabrio MV boots come in a 101mm last for average width feet, with all new 3D Wrap liners designed to take less time and energy to mold. These liners feature an innovative progressive tongue design for improved suspension and snow feel. Cabrio Max boots will have a comparable feature set in a wider 103mm last for high volume feet.
On the touring side, look out for new Cabrio Free MV boots with a 101mm last, and the all new Quantum Space boots. These lightweight boots are a great pick for serious backcountry enthusiasts with wider feet, featuring a 110 flex and a high volume 102mm width fit.
Elsewhere, Dalbello’s traditional 4-buckle boots get some snazzy 50mm Powerband elastic powerstraps added to Veloce 130 and Veloce 120 models.
