 Poster: A snowHead
|
Just back from the UK Ski Test in Bormio - an increasingly ace resort, the more I visit - and rather than waiting for months to get some reviews and feedback up, it's happened already... http://www.fall-line.co.uk/videos
Wonder at the skiing styles on offer, marvel at the multiple presentation outfits.
Bullet points: most tested ski: Scott Venture, second most tested: Atomic Blackeye Ti. Equal third was Atomic Theory and Salomon BBR 8.9.
Most tested piste range: K2 AMP series. Big Mountain/Powder skis moved ahead of Freestyle for tests per ski for the first time this year.

Clicking through them now. Sterling effort.
Would be great to have info on lengths available, dimensions, and turn radius at the start of each video in addition to the name and price please.
Thanks.

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

Jeez, you don't want much... The plan is to link them to the regular online reviews which has all that data. We are busy writing those reviews. Pesky online - we used to have months to do all that stuff.
More interesting stats, for those who want it. Yet again, the Scott Mission was the highest-scoring ski on the test. Dynafit and Trab appeared for the first time, so expect more bespoke touring skis to be available next year. Volkl and K2 also produced a slew of new lightweights for the up-tiddly-up-uppers.
We drew these stats from 1812 tests, and I know there are a few missing test sheets so expect the overall stats to be derived from nearly 2000 individual tests.

It's fair to say every ski on the test is very well prepared, but the high scoring stuff generally goes on to sell well and keep selling year after year, long after the initial puff has died away.
