Ski Equipment Reviews: Don’t Trust The Opinions Blindly

The list of ski equipment reviews grows

More and more ski equipment reviews are available through ski equipment magazines and sites devoted to this subject. They intend to provide you with worthwhile information on what to buy and not. They also tell a lot about the various features on the new collection of the comming year. But before you give them your trust it good to know on what these ski equipment reviews are based.

What is useful about them however, is the fact that since there is a lot of choice as far as ski equipment goes, it would be quite difficult for the uninitiated to be able to discern how to choose one equipment over the other, and so reading up on ski equipment reviews that you will find in most ski equipment magazines may be the best starting off point.

It should be based on extensive testing of the ski equipment.

The gist of the information contained in various ski equipment reviews is mostly been based on extensive tests done on various items of ski equipment and so, you can expect to learn just how these equipment works under test conditions and some of the tests are actually what is known as ‘blind’ tests. Another positive side of these ski equipment reviews is that this testing is done by ski experts, sometimes even pro's, as well as writers and editors who spent a lot of time in the snow; they know what they are talking about.

The only time ski equipment reviews can be a bit misleading is when the testing is done not by professional testers, but by people with ordinary level of skills in skiing such as citizen ski testers, and in such instances the testing will turn out to be less than extensive and thus may easily overlook salient features of the equipment being reviewed.

  • Ski Review: Dynastar Cham 107 2013

    Dynastar’s new Cham series represents as much of a wholesale change to a skiing range as you could get without significant deviation or turning them all into fully rockered banana skis so I was very keen to give Dynastar’s Cham 107 a go.

  • Ski Review: Armada ARV 2012

    The all mountain twin space is massively competitive, with all the dedicated freeride and freestyle brands now battling it out with the mainstream manufacturers. Can the Armada ARV compete?

  • Ski Review: Rossignol S7 2012

    My ad: 5’10” 185lbs West coast skier desperately seeking a one ski quiver for killing it all. The response? The Rossignol S7 in a 188. Ten of them.

  • Ski Review: Rossignol Experience 98 2012

    Rossignol’s Experience 98 is an off piste biased all mountain charger with more than the odd surprise up it’s sleeve.

  • Ski Review: Rossignol Sickle 2012

    The Sickle has seen a few incarnations and name changes in recent years (Scratch Steeze, S6), but it’s starting to come up even more so than Rossignol’s uber successful S7 series. What gives?

  • Ski Review: Nordica Soul Rider 2012

    First up in our yearly ski test - Nordica’s Soul Rider.

  • Ski Review: Amplid Rockwell 2011

    The Amplid Rockwell is another ski I lusted after as soon as I saw it…

  • Ski Review: Salomon Sentinel 2012

    After our 2011 review of Salomon’s all mountain gun and much chatter between peers, I gave in and acquired a pair of Sentinels for 2011-2012. The 2011-2012 Sentinel is the same ski as the 2010-2011 Sentinel – only the graphics have changed and only a touch – good so far.
