Many ski tests are carried out for a maximum of one or two days and do not take the constant change in snow and slope conditions into account. During a long-term ski test, the instructors can determine under which conditions a certain model performs best. An added bonus was that the test was carried out by certified instructors. There is ample room for manipulation in other ski tests, but hardly in this one. Two reasons why the SkiTest is so conclusive is that all testers were professionals.
Professionals can best determine which ski is suitable for which target group.
Another advantage was that all skis were uniformly tuned, which had never been the case in any other ski test. Mandi Goller Test professional and service man for top ski racers such as Hansi Hinterseer, Lisi Kirchler and Sylvia Eder. Primarily because of the organizers, Wolfgang Aste and Gerold Riml. We have been collaborating with them for many years and they always treat all companies without bias. We were also impressed by the idea of a long-term test because models can be tested in any snow condition.
