The SOS, Rafiki, and Rebel all get their flowers

The Holy Trinity of Ski Quivers

The 24/25 SOS, Rafiki, and Rebel all received accolades from Blister, and that means something. They are one of the only gear reviews that isn't pay-to-play. That means you get honest and transparent critiques that can't be bought.

Rafiki Powder Ski received the Best of Award from Blister Gear

THE BEST OF THE BEST

The Rafiki

The Rafiki is simultaneously one of the loosest, surfiest skis here and one of the most damp and composed in soft chop. It doesn’t take much effort or perfect technique to get the Rafiki to pivot and slide underneath you, which is beneficial in deep, heavy snow and tight terrain.

On the other hand, it’s also the heaviest ski here, and that mass helps keep it from easily getting bounced around in cut-up pow. The Rafiki has a pretty centered mount point and an overall design that’s very freestyle-friendly, but our directional reviewers still found it
intuitive and appreciated its combo of maneuverability and stability.

It’s definitely a soft-snow ski, but don’t mistake it for a “powder-only” ski; we haven’t tested many alternatives that manage to perform as well as the Rafiki in both dense chop and untracked blower.

SOS All Mountain Women's Skis Award Winning Skis

YOUR RIDE OR DIE

The SOS

Folks who like the sound of a ski that’s both freestyle-friendly and pretty strong and damp have reason to look at the SOS. Given its more centered mount point, the SOS’s preference is to be skied with a more upright and centered stance.

The SOS might not feel instantly intuitive to those coming from more directional skis, but it does offer a smooth, planted ride quality, thanks to its heavier construction, so it’ll likely feel impressively stable if you’re accustomed to more center-mounted skis.

If you prefer a more centered, neutral stance and prefer a stronger, more planted ski, the SOS
should be on your list. If you’re more concerned with flotation and stability in powder and chop, be sure to check out Coalition Snow’s Rafiki.

Rebel Front Side Carver All Mountain Ski Blister Gear Award Winning

She's a winner

The Rebel

The Rebel may be one of Coalition Snow’s narrowest models,
but it’s still very much an “all-mountain” ski. Overall, the Rebel
is an easy and adaptable option for firmer conditions.

It feels snappy and lively when arcing turns on groomed snow; and while it’s not the best ~85mm-wide ski for carving icy slopes, the Rebel is still predictable on firm snow.

The Rebel is ideal for those who want to spend a fair bit of time off piste on their narrower all-mountain ski, but who don’t want something very demanding.

The Rebel is great for those who want a narrower ski that handles a wide range of conditions and terrain, without being overly demanding. It’s also one of the best skis here if you are looking to work on your carving technique but don’t
want to be limited to only groomed runs.
