One of the best regional shops makes a selection of next year’s skis – and this year’s, in the case of models that are coming back or are still unsold in the shop – available to its customers to “test” on a day in spring. I showed up for this year’s event at Saddleback and have provided some...

So my wife asked me the other day if I thought she should get another pair of skis … like she needed to ask I think everyone should get another pair of skis. We are heading to Banff in a weeks time for a 9 day ski vacation and I plan to have her demo a bunch of different skis so we can dial in...

Hi all. To keep it short, i'm 6'2 and 210lbs, upper advanced, can really ski anything, sometimes hitting hard, sometimes chilling, i generally like short to medium turns. I like my skis fairly stable when going fast but playful and light feeling with some pop and energy. Conditions-wise skiing...
I'm looking to replace my 186 Atomic Theory skis. They had a 95mm waist, which I found pretty versatile. Theyre fun skis but I'm a heavy guy and I'd like something with some metal in it.
I'd like something with similar dimensions that's a bit sturdier but still has the rounded, slightly softer...

Ron: For 2019, we are seeing an influx of hard-snow carvers. Salomon has revised its X-Max line, and the new S/Max ski is a welcome addition. At 72 underfoot, this ski likes...
Vive la France. The French have never subscribed to the “me too" school of ski design, or really anything else in the industry. They also have never been afraid to take chances: external dampening with Prolink, monocoque constructions, Omega cores, asymmetrical ID shapes, different sidewall...
Yes, Salomon and Atomic are both under the Amer Group umbrella, which means there are a lot of people who don’t care which of these skis you buy as long as you buy one of them.
Since I am moonlighting at a shop, I get to go to manufacturer clinics, and we just had our Atomic and Salomon...
We just put together a review of the new 2017 Salomon QST 99. I had a ton of fun skiing these. Really playful, smears turns really well. It's one of those skis that does everything well and doesn't really have any significant downsides. Definitely more on the playful side. Click the image...
Me: 47, 5'9" 210lbs aggressive longtime skier.
Place: Mt Wachusett
Conditions: Spring snow, corn, ice, dirt, rocks, running water, standing water, grass, mud ... it's been in the 70s for 2 days and then poured last night. The place is looking rough.
This is the annual Ride-em and Rank-em event...
This was my second year at Copper's SIA demos. I have skied at Copper for ... a long, long time ... so I think my familiarity is an advantage as I know exactly where to go and how I want to ski when I am curious about the particular attributes of a ski. I definitely enjoyed this year's crop...
