March 3-8, 2013 at Fernie Alpine Resort BC

It was ski test time once again and Ski Canada’s test team was ready to roll. We were back for a second year at snow laden Fernie Alpine Resort to put some of Canada’s best ski brands through their paces.

This year the following brands met the challenge:

Atomic * Black Crows * Blizzard * Elan * Fischer * Head * Kastle * K2 * Line * Nordica * Ogasaka * Salomon * Volkl

Skis tested in seven categories at Fernie. Published test reports linked here:

  • expert all mountain
  • adventure all mountain 
  • big mountain
  • slalom
  • on-piste cruisers
  • easy cruise and twintips (posting soon)

Powder skis shipped up to Mike Weigele’s Helicopter Skiing for testing by their powder guides. In December 2013 issue.
