Skiing Magazine Ski Test

Hey, Jeremy Benson reporting from the 2009 Skiing Magazine Ski Test.  We're here in Beautiful Snowbird, UT skiing in mixed hardpack conditions at the moment.  Looks like the storm that is currently crushing Lake Tahoe will drop some nie pow out this way in a day or two.  

I tested Mens Big Mountain skis today, and I tried 17 different pairs of skis down the same run every time to try them on a level playing field.  All the major manufacturers have their skis in the test, and I skied on some awesome boards by Elan, Dynastar, Rossignol, 4frnt, Line, Nordica, and Black diamond.  There's a ton of great new skis out there, and lucky me, I get to try them all.  Pretty much every ski that I skied today in super hardpack was 110 ish mm's in the waist, and super fun to ski even in the hard conditions.  Its pretty amazing how the new boards can rip in so many different conditions.  

Its going to dump in Tahoe, so keep your walkway shoveled, your car out of the ditch, and your tips up.  I'll be back on Friday to enjoy the feet of dumpage.  

Jeremy
