ski reviews
13th August 2006
Most ski reviews are fairly poor, they tend to based on a few minutes impression on some limited terrain by the tester. Most reviews read like the advertising the manufacturer produces or at the very least that advertising, or market positioning, massively influences the reviewer.
For myself, I find I need to use a ski for sometime in a variety of conditions to have an idea about where it’s strengths and weaknesses lie. There’s really no substitute for testing a ski on real snow on a real mountain and most hire shops can provide a selection of skis to try. In the end, most modern skis are actually quite good and even the latest model won’t have the effect that the same money spend with a decent instructor will.
I’ve decided to join the fray myself in a limited way and write up my experiences of some of the hardware I use. I’ve made a list of the various skis and accessories I’ve used in the last season and how they’ve worked for me.
It will take me some time to complete all the write ups but I’ve made a start .
