2025 Ski Test

Arguably the most important question a skier should ask themselves is “what ski is right for me?”

Beginning to even tackle that question can be a daunting task. Quiv3r is here to make that process a little easier.

Grabbing a demo from your local ski shop is best, but what if that isn’t always available? There are certainly objective realities to any ski, especially when considering specific characteristics, like stiffness and construction materials.

Take a browse through our reviews to help paint a broader picture of a given ski that we’ve tested, and hopefully it can make the decision of what ski is right for you that much easier.

All skis in our test have been skied, ridden, or demoed by our contributors and writers.
