After spending the last few weeks debuting ski reviews for 2020 skis, we thought we'd switch things up a bit and instead share an article that exemplifies our mantra, "Gear for Skiers, by Skiers." This week, we bring you a trip report from our very own Jake Inger who recently did something only a skier would be crazy enough to do: fly to Alaska for a weekend trip. In his report, Jake recaps the events of three days of skiing in a row, through conditions that varied greatly. From sub-zero to above freezing days in the Alaskan backcountry, and night skiing at Alyeska Resort, this trip report covers as much as it possible could in a 3 day trip. But don't take our word for it, click through to read more!

Last April we invited dozens of ski testers as well as 14 brands to join us at Stowe Mountain Resort to take part in the 1st Annual SkiEssentials.com Ski Test. Despite battling less than ideal weather, we still managed to collect an incredible amount of data for over 120 different 2018 skis. At this point, you've probably already seen our 2018 Ski Test (if you haven't, you should check it out), and now we've decided to give you a glimpse of how it all went down. Take a look at our Behind the Scenes Recap of the 1st Annual SkiEssentials.com Ski Test!

This week, our Feed Hill Highlights series continues with our spotlight of Wachusett Mountain in Princeton, MA. Situated roughly an hour away from three sizable metropolises, this feeder hill is one of the closest ski areas to nearly 8 million urban dwelling skiers. Mix that fact with great terrain, a strong race scene, and a family friendly atmosphere and you'll quickly realize that Wachusett isn't just another East Coast feeder hill, it's prototypical of the term itself. Needless to say, we're extremely excited to present, "Feeder Hill Highlight: Wachusett." Enjoy!

A couple of weeks ago, SkiEssentials.com hosted our second annual premier of the latest Matchstick Productions movie. Just as in year one, the event took place at the historic Rusty Nail here in Stowe, VT, with proceeds benefiting our good friends at the High Five Foundation. We know that not all of you could be there and that you're probably feeling a bit left out, so don't worry! We've put together a recap of the event to let you experience what went down!
