Day two of our Park Test just went off at Aspen Snowmass, with testers taking top to bottom hot laps off the Coney Glades chair under perfect spring skies. The park crew lined up top-notch features for our testers to throw down on, resulting in ear-to-ear smiles all day long. The end goal? Put next year’s skis through the wringer so that, when the time comes for you to buy a new pair, you’ll have thorough reviews and rankings to guide you to the best of the the best of the best.
Check out photos from the day below, and make sure you’re subscribed to our magazine to receive our 2018 Buyer’s Guide, featuring the results of our test, straight to your mailbox.
