FREESKIER’s 2016 Ski Test is underway here at Aspen Snowmass. Our crew of trusty ski testers is goin’ hard in the paint, ripping each and every one of the 250+ skis in our fleet. The first two days on the hill have been phenomenal, thanks to bluebird skies, perfectly groomed trails and a rockstar cast of testers and brand reps.

FREESKIER’s industry-leading ski test has once again converged on @AspenSnowmass; this marks our sixth straight year of testing in the land where beer flows like wine—where beautiful women instinctively flock like the salmon of Capistrano. This week, we’ll put 250+ pairs of next year’s skis through the wringer. The skis that fare well among our testing squadron will grace the pages of our annual Buyer’s Guide, ultimately helping you, our faithful reader, to purchase skis that’ll up your skiing experience.
