The 2025 Season Forma is not your typical powder ski—it’s a directional, surfy ride with an artistic design ethos and a distinct personality. With a 118mm waist, fully rockered profile, and swallowtail shape, it’s built to float, pivot, and slash its way through deep snow with effortless style. And while it wears its powder pedigree proudly, the Forma isn't just a heli-ski toy—it brings versatility that extends well beyond blower days.
At the heart of the Forma is a paulownia wood core that keeps things lightweight without feeling flimsy. Fiberglass reinforcement adds a touch of stiffness, giving the ski some stability when things get a little firmer. The swallowtail isn't just aesthetic—it allows the tail to sink subtly in deep snow, keeping the tip up without excessive rocker splay, which translates into better control and a more forward, centered stance in soft conditions. And because it’s a Season ski, you’re also getting a minimalist, unbranded topsheet that bucks the trend of flashy graphics, letting the shape and experience speak for itself.
On snow, the Forma shines brightest in fresh snow, where it delivers a floaty, slashy ride with intuitive control. The fully rockered profile makes it easy to pivot, smear, and make short work of trees, bowls, and tight terrain. Unlike some wide powder skis that feel like oversized planks, the Forma maintains a nimble, fluid feel, almost like it’s reading the terrain for you. But don’t expect it to rail turns on firm groomers—it’s more of a cruiser than a carver. That said, it’s stable enough to make it back to the lift with confidence and doesn’t feel like it's collapsing when conditions get variable.
Compared to other big-day skis like the DPS Lotus 124 or the Armada Whitewalker 116, the Forma offers a more directional and subdued ride. It’s less playful in a freestyle sense, but more graceful in how it moves through terrain. It also doesn’t demand an aggressive skier to make it sing—the ride is smooth and forgiving, which will appeal to skiers who prioritize feel and flow over full-throttle speed.
The 2025 model sees subtle tweaks to flex and construction, but no major overhaul—Season’s goal has always been timeless, durable gear, not constant reinvention. That approach feels appropriate here. The Forma isn’t trying to keep up with trends; it’s carving out its own quiet niche.
For skiers who want a powder ski that’s soulful, intuitive, and visually understated, the Forma is a refreshing alternative. It invites creativity, rewards a centered stance, and delivers a smooth, surf-inspired ride wherever the snow is deep and the turns are loose.
