Inspiration is always welcome, even for the most passionate of winter enthusiasts. Here at Renoun we aim to ensure our loyal customer base is well informed and updated on the latest industry news, gear releases, and travel ideas. Since real power comes through research and knowledge, we have compiled a researched list of 10 ski blogs covering topics from high-tech gear reviews to top winter travel destinations.
This list has something for everyone, from beginner-level ski enthusiasts interested in learning the basics to luxury ski vacationers searching for the perfect backcountry chalet. As it can be hard to find reputable online sources of information, we have researched and presented blogs that are transparent in their affiliate partnerships and pride themselves on credibility and unbiased information.
Blister Gear Review
At Blister, they scream a clear manifesto from the rooftops - “to be as in-depth and honest as possible about the gear we review, all of the time.” Far from satisfied by the state of online gear reviews, Blister is determined to provide their readers detailed reviews that answer the hard questions. In their mission statement, it is also clearly written that Blister does not accept any money from the manufacturers they review, eliminating a reviewer bias and keeping their professional credibility intact.
With their “no-holds-barred” mentality, Blister maintains a heavy hitter in the ski blog sphere and does well to keep its integrity. For honest reviews and top discussions on the best ski gear, this blog sits at the top of the list. As one reader so eloquently put it, “the site is so good, I’ve neglected my children.”
Pugski
Phil and Tricia Pugliese share their passion for the ski industry and cutting edge gear with a technically curious readership on Pugski.com, a leader in media and reviews.

The Adventure Junkies
As the name might suggest, this blog is for anyone who shares an obsession with the natural world. What is an adventure junkie?

Outdoor Gear Lab
This gear review site has a simple mission to write the world’s best gear reviews. Their process is simple; they buy products themselves at retail price to avoid conflicts of interest, they test them rigorously, and they write about the result.
