When the FREESKIER crew pulled up to Aspen Snowmass yesterday for our 17th annual Ski Test, the snow was falling in clumps, dumping a clean sheet—18 inches in 48 hours—for our testers to pillage on next year’s powder skis. With the entire mountain refreshed, everything was in play, including a cat-track gap that photographer Matt Power hadn’t ever seen hit by a skier—today, it happened twice.
Beyond the morning’s air time achievements, our 30-plus ski testers found fresh tracks on nearly every run, enjoying ideal conditions to rank and review the widest skis on the market. Keep scrolling to take a glimpse into the first day of this year’s #FREESKIERFEST and stay tuned for plenty more coverage to come this week.
