As we have in years past, we conducted two major tests in Utah to evaluate the latest skis: a four-day alpine test, in conjunction with Mountain magazine, at Snowbird Resort, and a weeklong alpine-touring and telemark test, with Backcountry magazine, at Powder Mountain. How did it all work out? Watch the behind-the-scenes-action and see how we size up the gear we write about below:
