Has to be one of the softest skis on the market. Incredibly supple and bendy, quite dense and heavy as well.

For what type of terrain would you recommend this ski? Why does it perform well in that terrain?

Trees, park, and side hits galore. This ski is made to be jibby and creative, so soft and creative terrain are a must.

What's the appropriate ability level and/or style for this ski? Why is it appropriate for that type of skier?

Advanced and up should consider a Reckoner 102. You also should be looking for a soft ski, there’s no escaping the flex pattern here.

Anything else you want to tell us about your experience on these skis?

The Reckoner 102 is a soft and playful ski taken to the highest level. Don’t expect the ski to keep you upright, because it will keep bending and bending. For the record, that is not a bad thing whatsoever. It is a blast to ski through soft snow and features all around the mountain. I never thought I would enjoy a Reckoner, let alone this much. I hope to ski one again in the 177.

It skis true to size in my opinion, you just have to understand it's a soft flexing twin tip with rocker. If you're not used to that, it might feel short.

What's your first impression of this ski? How did it feel?

The Reckoner 102 isn't for everyone, but I always have so much fun skiing it. The 177 cm length has turned into my favorite park ski, although there are some new contenders for 2027 that come close. As a freeride ski, or especially if I lived out west, I would go 184 for sure, but the 177 is so fun around here. The flex and shape works great in soft snow, but it is a more centered mount point so you need to be used to some amount of ski behind you. There's also a surprising amount of torsional stiffness and grip in this ski, but it's a soft longitudinal flex, so it's not going to just rail carving turns. In the park, it's soft and fun and ultra forgiving, which for me, now that I'm 40 years old, is really, really nice to have. Bouncy, soft, playful, easy to flick around, and a blast in the park.

For what type of terrain would you recommend this ski? Why does it perform well in that terrain?

You can ski it just about anywhere and even in some deeper snow, but the highlight for me is definitely its feel in the park and when you're skiing playful, fun terrain with fresh snow. Surprisingly fun to lay over carves on groomers, but when I own a Reckoner 102 I end up sliding a lot of rails, so that goes away eventually.

What's the appropriate ability level and/or style for this ski? Why is it appropriate for that type of skier?

It's perfectly fine for an intermediate as it's soft and has a lot of rocker, so comes with a ton of forgiveness. Could actually be a good option for a powder ski for someone still learning. Advanced and expert level skiers, especially park skiers, will be able to get it to do some crazy things. Super easy for butters because of the flex.

Anything else you want to tell us about your experience on these skis?

The graphic carries over from 2026 to 2027, just FYI.

What's your first impression of this ski? How did it feel?

I'm completing this form mostly from a park skiing perspective as I chose the Reckoner 102 while trying to do 40 tricks to celebrate my 40th birthday. While I came a bit short, I'm glad I went with the Reckoner 102. I love the flex pattern for the park. The tips and tails are nice and soft, but there's still some substance to it, so it kind of acts like suspension for my tired legs. You don't need to land perfectly, or rather if you don't land perfectly, it doesn't physically hurt as much as it can on a stiffer ski. They're also pretty light, especially in the 177 cm length, so I find them really easy to flick around.

For what type of terrain would you recommend this ski? Why does it perform well in that terrain?

They're pretty versatile for a soft flexing twin tip, but I do think the park should at least be something you do relatively often if you're considering it. There are a lot of super dedicated park skiers who ski it as a daily driver park ski, and I think that's an awesome application for it.

What's the appropriate ability level and/or style for this ski? Why is it appropriate for that type of skier?

It's so soft and forgiving, it would be fine for an intermediate looking to get into a wider ski and/or a twin tip. Then experts will be able to do crazy things on it. Really opens up the possibilities for a skilled park skier.

What's your first impression of this ski? How did it feel?

The Reckoner has a strange mix of characteristics that perfect suit freestyle minded skiers who want a ski that is all-mountain freeride capable but has it's roots in the park. The tips and tails are wicked soft but the underfoot zone is very supportive. There is also a good deal of torsional stiffness throughout the ski which makes it a surprisingly good carver. For me, the soft flex made them almost too reactive to input to where it demanded precision to the point where it was a little off-putting. I chalk this up to my weight as I am very easily able to flex the ski. This combinded with the minimal tip and tail taper made them extremely hooky. For lighter skiers, I can see how this would be so much fun an engaging across the mountain. For me, it is just a bit too much.

For what type of terrain would you recommend this ski? Why does it perform well in that terrain?

All-mountain freestyle - evenly splitting time between the park, groomers, and trees.

What's the appropriate ability level and/or style for this ski? Why is it appropriate for that type of skier?

Intermediate to expert.

If you could change anything about these skis, what would you change and why?

Wouldn't change anything as it is perfectly suited for a big group of skiers who are looking for a ski with these characteristics.

What's your first impression of this ski? How did it feel?

On paper, this is not my type of ski. On snow, I actually really like it. The Carbon Spectral Braid works great at creating engaging torsional stiffness while the softer flex in the tips and tails makes the ski super surfy and smeary. While I couldn't see myself on this ski for more than a day, it's really quite fun in that time span.

For what type of terrain would you recommend this ski? Why does it perform well in that terrain?

I think the park is the best spot for this ski. If the park is soft, so much the better. It's fine and fun in trees, bumps, and groomers, but seems to be more creative than anything else. So park.

What's the appropriate ability level and/or style for this ski? Why is it appropriate for that type of skier?

This is a good entry level ski for intermediates looking for wider twin tips.

If you could change anything about these skis, what would you change and why?

I'd make it stiffer.
