Tester Miles Kochalka loves to be in the woods skiing untracked lines around Smugglers’ Notch, Vt. And if he is not shredding treed lines, he is happy anywhere else with snow, so long as he has skis on his feet. He looks for well-rounded skis and that is what he found in the Movement Trust 108.

Here is his review of the Movement Trust 108:

OVERALL SCORE: 9/10
BEST FOR: Inbounds, Lift-Accessed Touring, Straight-Up Touring
BEST SPEED: Slow, Medium
RESPONSIVENESS: 8/10
PLAYFULNESS: 9/10
MEDIUM TURNS: 10/10
POW PERFORMANCE: 9/10

Comments: “The Movement Trust 108 is smoother than your favorite drink after a long week. Each turn melts together seamlessly. It eats up crud and finds it niche on all terrain on piste and off. If you hate chatter and want a quick ski that seems to change heavy powder to blower, this ski is for you. Fun, light, energetic, consistent—a ski made for many types of skier.”

: ERIC BLEHM: MEET YOUR HEROES
Eric Blehm’s roots in snowboarding run deep. He started riding during the sport’s infancy, and after college became an editor at Transworld SNOWboarding Magazine. Years later, he was in a lift line when a fellow rider saw the “Craig Kelly is my Co-Pilot” sticker on his board, and asked Blehm: “Who is Craig Kelly?” He was floored by the notion that there were snowboarders out there who didn’t know who Craig was. And this inspired him to write The Darkest White.
