On Saturday, March 1st and Sunday, March 2nd, 2025, Myoko Suginohara Ski Resort in Niigata Prefecture will be hosting the "DREAM GATES PRESENTS 2025-2026 NEW MODEL POWDER & HEEL-FREE Test Ride Event" by DREAM GATES, home to ski and snowboard pro shops like SKISHOP VAIL, PRO SKISHOP ASPEN, and F-JANCK. Many popular brands, including ARMADA, SALOMON, K2, LINE, FACTION, ATOMIC, ELAN, RMU, and WAPAN, will be gathering! The test ride models are specially designed for powder, all-mountain, and telemark skiing. Being able to compare the hottest new models from each manufacturer all at once is a real draw
This is a great opportunity to try out exciting new models in the perfect conditions of the peak season!
Therefore, STEEP is looking for test ride reporters from among our users.
On the day, we will be test riding many skis and asking for your impressions of the feel and performance of the skis. We would like to hear from people in their teens to 40s who have a strong interest in gear, are particular about it, and actively share their opinions on social media
Why not take your time to carefully examine the new models, trying out different fat skis on piled-up powder and checking out the sharpness of carving on groomed runs packed with crisp, fresh snow?
