Ski Press' annual Ski Test is on now at Quebec's Mont-Sainte-Anne. Dozens of testers--both pro and recreational-- are running 2010 skis through a complicated set of tests on the steep and consistent slopes of the Quebec ski area...

Their findings will run in the pages of Ski Press' Gear Issue next Fall, helping skiers make informed purchases on carving, race, recreational and freeride boards.

"It's a very important week for both the magazine and its readers," says Lori Knowles, Ski Press Canada's Editorial Director. "Skiers count on us to sample as many skis as we can so they can make smart buys on new skis next season. We're testing nearly every ski we can, from a number of manufacturers, including Rossignol, Salomon, Head and Dynastar so that our readers don't have to."

The Mont-Sainte-Anne slopes are currently being used to test carving, race and all-mountain boards. Dedicated freeride skis will be tested at a second test at Whistler in April.
