With Blizzard I had similar little success as I had with Völkl. However, their attitude was much more friendly as well as open minded. I just could test one pair. This time it was an All Round high performance On Piste model. (more…)

When I first contacted Stöckli’s importer in Spain, I was lucky to meet people who wanted to help and collaborate. This kind of relationship with companies is key to the success of our SkiReviewer project. (more…)

Head has hit the spot with these three models. In the absence of more models to test (willing to have more on future editions), our general impression on Head skis is the brand is thinking how to offer a fun and good product that fulfills people’s expectations. And that is a very positive point for them. However, this ends up very distorted due to the marketing strategy they’ve chosen. (more…)

Taking into account this manufacturer aspires to produce 10% of all skis in the world, one might expect to find a brand with a very good reputation behind. A trademark you can trust a hundred per cent. Clichés can betray you, and this one will with the test you’re about to read. The blame will fall on the GSX model, as you will see. (more…)

Although in this test I only had the chance to ski on two models, I had a very exciting experience. First, because both were models in the Race range and they couldn’t be more different from each other. One Slalom (SL) and one Giant Slalom (GS), both street models. Second, I had quite some time to test them, therefore I could dig deeper to see how and where they perforned best. (more…)

Testing Völkl wasn’t easy. After some arguing, I managed to get one pair to test. It’s really a pitty not having been able to test more skis from this manufacturer, because the tested model has a quite different phylosophy from what you may find in other brands. This could not only be a unique aspect but also a sales pitch, too. Customers love variety. And Völkl follows that unwritten rule, at least with this model. They wanted to do something different, and they just did it. Just for this reason, it would be interesting to have more Völkl models tested at SkiReviewer. (more…)

Vist is a small Italian manufacturer known by its exclusive designs, which are very different from what the more generalist brands do. They stand out in hard gear with their plates and binding systems, besides building an excellent collection of high end skis. Speaking of soft gear, the designs catch our eyes for their simplicity and elegance. Some models go beyond the common criteria, as for example the Leopard designs. The complements line follows that pattern too, and the helmets are remarkable because of their panoramic and retractable visor. (more…)
