SKI TESTERS

Ski Testers

We have an incredible resource of testers here in the greater Stowe area. Not only are we lucky to be able to ski here in general, but also that we’re able to find this diverse group of skiers with a broad range of ages, shapes, sizes, and ability levels. Most of us have tested skis in one way or another, and we are fortunate to have many returning SkiEssentials testers to provide their valuable input once again. We’re sure you’ll be able to find a skier that you identify with, allowing you to benefit from their experiences and formulate your own thoughts and visions moving forward in your ski quest.
