As we enter the spring season, ski manufacturers and pro shops are holding test ride events for the new 2023-2024 season models one after another. These events are variously referred to as "DEMO TOUR" or "TEST RIDE," but they are a valuable opportunity for users to actually try out the new models for the next season. How have next season's skis changed? What improvements have been made? To find out their true value, be sure to test ride them while the snow and slope conditions are good. It's a good idea to get started while you still have time to test various models and carefully compare and consider them. So, let's go and ride the new models before anyone else!
