POWDER SPECIALIST
The Gambit—by Boulder, Colorado–based custom ski builder Folsom—is part of a new generation of fat skis that are serviceable on groomers, too. Here, the aggressively rockered tip and tail are tapered for a loose feel in deep snow, but the traditional camber and sidecut let you edge with confidence. Why go custom? You can adjust the flex for your size and weight, design the graphics, and opt for smart add-ons like extra-thick base and edge material. 148/116/126;
