Here you’ll find a breakdown of the 46 skiers that participated in our test. New this year, we have linked the tester’s names to their profile page so you can find a match and easily search for skis that he or she tested. On the tester profile page, you’ll find stats and descriptions of their skiing. Without this group, none of this would be possible, and we want to extend a big thank you to all the skiers who helped in the test.
