I have just completed the best week of the season here! All the manufacturers and shops were here for a test week with all the new gear for the next season!! best fun ever!
Got a shot on the new Rossignol FIS slalom ski which was a treat and the biggest, fattest stupidest rocker skis there are!
Nicest ski on piste = Atomic double deck GS
Nicest off piste = Armada Arv
Nicest in trees and deep = Rossignol S7
Nicest all round = Armada El Ray
Most fun-park etc = Salomon 2012 - a rockered park ski so you are only actually touching the snow with about 140cm of ski-easiest thing to spin ever!
Disappointments
Salomon Shogun - have wanted to try it for ages but hated it
Scott Neo - had heard so much about it on here and didnt like it for anything but long, slow turns
Head GS - horribly soft and not grip at all
cant wait to hit the shops next year..... in a real pickle about what to buy! Shed loads of nice jackets etc to choose from next year too!
I always try and attend the tests days at indoor slopes but if you ever get the chance to do one on a mountain for a week jump at it!!

I think that was the venue for the SIGB Test Week. Did you see CEM there?
