Yeah, the editor of SKI mag wrote in the gear issue this year that the reason they have no bad reviews published is for that reason, they didn't publish them.

He claims they tested far more skis than they publish in the magazines and then pick the best ones to go to print.


Whether you believe all that or not is up to you, but it seems like a reasonable explanation.

I also like the fact that this year they listed all the testers and their gender, physical stats and skier type and background, and then listed under each piece of equipment who particularly liked or disliked it. Very helpful imho.

Sure doesn't replace demoing but has helped me narrow down and fine tune my selection.
