SKI Magazine is the quintessential source for all things skiing in North America and the rest of the world. Last February, 2009, I entered a writing contest to participate in the magazine's annual ski test as a guest and I won. In March, I traveled to Deer Valley, Utah where I got to ride more than 50 pairs of skis and was exposed to the very latest and greatest in ski technology. Below is a first person account of my experience as it appeared online at www.skinet.com, which you may download to view.
