All our experience at your disposal

Rigorous evaluations and meticulous measurements on over 540 products in 16 different categories.

Our technical team knows the products better than anyone. For over twenty years now, we’ve been bench-, lab-, and snow-testing every new innovation in the sector. We conduct in-depth discussions with the R&D teams of the manufacturers and work hard to give precise, independent and honest evaluations of everything, in a language that’s easy to understand for beginners and professionals.

Everything at your fingertips

Search filters by category, brand, technical level, price, technical data and much more.

You can select the products you’re most interested in and decide which information is most important to you: from ski waist width, weight, cost, right up to performance in different snow conditions or construction type.

We are obsessed with precision

We check everything in the lab before skiing

We weigh skis and boots, one by one, pole by pole, noting the differences. We also check ski's rocker, deck, flex, load-bearing surface and many other data with our exclusive machine. And then the inner and outer dimensions of the boots, the drop between the rear and front pins of the bindings, the thermicity of the boots, the waterproofness of the skins, and much more.

Have your say

Fill out the form for the products you purchased, and you too can become a tester.

For each product you’ve used, you can fill out a form which is virtually identical to the one we give our testers. This serves to help us deepen our knowledge of the products also from the user's point of view, providing us with valuable insight about wear and tear issues or manufacturing defects that may only emerge after extended use. Your opinion really counts!

A host of good reasons to subscribe

An independent guide

We have almost twenty years’ experience of publishing the printed form our Buyer's Guide, and it’s become the leading benchmark for ski mountaineering and freeride gear worldwide: 640 pages that have earned the nicknamed 'the Bible'. No business has ever paid us a single euro to participate in our tests.

All skis prepared in the exact same way to measure data

We analyze every detail of how the skis are prepared to evaluate whether they are ready to use on the snow as they are, and then we get our trusted ski servicer to prepare them all in the same way and mount the same binding on all skis within a category to ensure test parameters are identical across all products. We weigh and measure the gear.

Product news updated throughout the year

As a subscriber, you’ll be able to read exclusive previews of the 2024/2025 news that we’ll make available as manufacturers invite us to their product launch events.
