In reality, I thinks it's very difficult to pick an optimum/ideal pair
of skis, because of the weather/snow variables.
In surfing, if one keeps their eyes & ears open for the opportunity,
it's possible to demo ride an actual contest/pro board, at least if you
live near let's say, Santa Cruz.
Perhaps maybe Salomon will do a demo day of the actual skis used by
their team members. Ha!

Why not? Every points race I ever competed in for windsurfing had the
demo boards and sails (some were even experimental) laying on the
beach......So why can't we demo skis?


The past two years Fischer has had a tent on Vasagatan in Mora where one
could test Fischer skis. I think that Atomic also had an arrangement
there with Fliesbergs store for a day or two where you could test Atomic
skis on the Vasalopps tracks. I think you needed your own boots. And my
wife purchased Fischers one year that were no so good fit to her and she
went back to the store after Tjejvasan and the store exchanged them for
a better (just a smidgen softer) fit.
