With so many skis on the market and an incredible amount of variation between models, it’s hard to determine which type of ski is the right one. Sales representatives in stores may be helpful, but firsthand experience is the only way to assure a good fit.
Demo days are an exciting and helpful way to test new skis before making a final decision. These promotional days are usually free, but most require a valid credit card and driver’s license.
