March 19-23, 2012 at Fernie Alpine Resort

The 33rd edition of the famous Ski Canada Test of alpine skis is complete. This year our host was Fernie Alpine Resort in BC, celebrating their 50th Anniversary.

Test conditions were excellent throughout the week with more than 80cm of fresh snow. Thanks Fernie!

It was a busy test pit, with 14 brands of skis and 30 testers. Pit stations are numbered and ski topsheets masked with black tape to reduce impact of brand ID & graphics
