This year’s edition of our annual all-mountain ski test was nothing short of incredible. Per usual, Aspen Mountain provided some of the best turns of the season, and free snow refills became the norm for our testing crew. We tested and reviewed hundreds of next year’s skis from a slew of skiing’s best brands, in an effort to find the cream of the crop to include as “Editor’s Picks” in our 2016 2016 Buyer’s Guide.

On top of epic pow turns, we also were able to take advantage of the livelihood that Aspen, Colorado is all about: aprés parties. Thanks to RESQWATER, Aspen Brewing Co., and The Sky Hotel, the post shred bar session were hoppin’ (pun intended) and we were able to jump out of bed every day to rip the steep and deep terrain of Ajax. Enjoy the collection of photos above.
