2026 QUIV3R Ski Test
Back for the 2026 season, Quiv3r’s Ski Test is here to helping inform skiers about their options for their gear. So many options to choose from, and all of them bring different types of performance and personality.
There have been some renamed and consolidated categories for the scoring for each ski, hopefully providing some useful information that can help you make a more calculated choice.
This will be updated all throughout the season and into the warmer months as we keep skiing and testing the latest and greatest models.
You’ll find a few different types of reviews here in the 2026 Ski Test. Here’s a brief rundown of the differences:
First Tracks: My initial impressions after spending a full day or two trying a ski for the first time.
First Look: I’ve been fortunate to test unreleased skis that will be available to the public during upcoming seasons, these are an overview of those with brief on-snow impressions after limited demo time.
Long Term Reviews: Full reviews after spending notable time on snow, preferably 10+ days.
All skis in our test have been skied, ridden, or demoed by our contributors and writers.
Unless noted, all reviews are done without editorialization by brands, manufacturers, or ski shops. If a ski was provided on behalf of a brand, representative, shop, we will note as such. Otherwise, costs associated with demoing and reviewing gear is paid for by Quiv3r.
