Our 2017 Ski Test could not be going any better. Period. The first couple days were graced with tons of powder and, ever since, it’s been absolutely money conditions that are prime for testing every single type of ski. Admittedly, we’ve been doing some partying, too, because that simply goes hand-in-hand with the Ski Test culture. Below, check out a ton of photos from the action—from both on the hill and at the parties—and get stoked for our 2018 Buyer’s Guide, now available for a ridiculously low price.

Conditions have been so darn good all week.
Pro shredder Dale Talkington made a guest appearance; he was psyched to spin many awesome laps with our ski testers. Here’s Dale sending it into the pow leftover from Monday’s 14″ storm, following 75+ inches in last week’s storm cycle. Photo by Evan Williams, of Nordica.

It’s DEEP out there, folks.
Well over a foot of snow this week means epic turns on top of epic turns.
