"New for 24/25, Renoun's Citadel 107 is a lightweight powder-oriented ski that's happy to take it easy but also quite capable When you want to push it harder. That's largely thanks to Renoun's non-Newtonian VibeStop™ construction, which tends to make their skis feel softer and more accessible at lower speeds but stiffer and more damp when you subject them to higher forces / speeds (for the whole story, head to the Blister YouTube channel and watch our videos with Renoun). The Citadel 107 feels pretty similar to the Citadel 106 it replaces, but the new 107's much more rearward mount point and increased tip rocker make it float better and feel more directional overall. It's still a very nimble and maneuverable ski, but it now responds best to a forward stance. The Citadel 107 isn't your best bet if on-piste precision or stability in crud are top priorities, but for those seeking soft-snow flotation and maneuverability, it's one of the lightest skis that we still recommend for lift-accessed use."

Renoun Endurance 98. "It's rare that one single material can create such distinct performance traits, but that's the case with Renoun's proprietary "VibeStop" construction. In general, the non-Newtonian polymer makes their skis unusually supportive at high speeds relative to how compliant they feel at slower paces, but first and foremost, their Endurance 98 is just a very versatile and intuitive all-mountain ski. It feels pretty forgiving when you're taking it easy, but the harder you push it, the more damp and supportive it becomes, thanks to that VibeStop™ material (see our YouTube video with Renoun for the whole story). Because of all this, the Endurance 98 could work for a wide variety of skiers, from intermediates looking for something forgiving that holds up pretty well at high speeds, to more advanced skiers who want a nimble yet supportive all-rounder. The Endurance 98 manages to handle most all-mountain duties quite well."
