Our Best Freestyle Skis For 2022

Freestyle skis are made for fun and creative riding without limits. Whether jibbing around side hits, working sessions at the park or floating off drops in the backcountry, freestyle skis are the perfect option for those looking to hit the mountain with their own take.

With all the demands that freestyle skiing puts on your kit, it's important to have skis that perform no matter what you throw at them. Here are our picks for the top Men's and Women's Freestyle skis for 2022.


Best Men's Freestyle Skis


Faction CT 2.0

Faction ct 2.0

  • Rocker - Tip/Tail Rocker
  • Radius - Long
  • Construction - Mini Cap Full Sidewall
  • Core - Wood

The new CT 2.0 carries on the tradition of being a high-performance all-terrain freestyle ski that feels playful and fun but has the stability to ski smoothly in any condition. The CT Signature design dials in the flex, shape and stance exactly how Candide envisages them, creating a ski that will pivot, carve, slash, butter, smear and pop anywhere on the mountain. Our Freestyle Ski of the Year. 


Völkl Revolt 95

Volkl Revolt

  • Rocker - Tip/Tail Rocker
  • Radius - Long
  • Construction - Full Sidewall
  • Core - Wood

Although designed with jibbing in mind, Ahmet Dadali didn't ignore versatility when dreaming this ski up. A non-symmetrical twin may buck the trend of most park models but it makes total sense, as riding switch requires different technique to going forwards. Specific tip and tail butter zones add extra style to tricks; a 95mm waist means you can easily spend the day doing powder runs when it's dumping. Carbon stringers boost pop; the Multi Layer Woodcore increases strength.


Völkl Revolt 104

Volkl Revolt 104

  • Rocker - Tip/Tail Rocker

The Revolt 104 is Volkl's latest offering to come from the combined brilliance of their head engineer and the freestyle pro team. The final result is after hours, days and weeks of co-operation, testing, feedback and changes: a freestyle ski for everyday use whether jibbing or in the backcountry. Tip and tail rocker ensure great handling in any terrain; the 3D Radius Sidecut boosts stability in any condition. The Multi Layer Woodcore is the heart, providing the right flex and power; full sidewalls deliver the precision. To quote Paddy Graham ‘simply a whole lot of fun, no matter where it is used'.


Armada ARV 96
