The birds are chirping, the sun’s cranking up the temp and we’re busting out our narrowest skis for some serious spring laps. As freeskiers, deep pow stashes, frothy pillows and untouched glades are what we spend our winters hunting for—but there really isn’t anything quite like spring skiing. We’re just here to have a good time until the lifts stop spinning. So before the snow melts, take a gander at the lineup of next season’s skinniest sticks that we’re testing at the FREESKIER Gear Lab in Vail, Colorado.
