Today’s podcast is a clarion call to America’s specialty ski shop personnel to take advantage of every opportunity to try out whatever new models you can while the getting is good. While you’re at it, take a moment between runs - lift rides, for example, provide a suitable opportunity - to jot down how each ski fared according to the criteria listed on the Realskiers Test Card app.

Don’t have the Realskiers Test Card app on your Apple or Android phone? Why not? You don’t have to be affiliated with a shop to download it or put it to good use. If you’re an unaffiliated consumer, please enter the letter “c” in lieu of dealer name. If you are ski shop owner, manager, employee or designated gear tester, all the better. Please remember to always include comments with your completed score card and don’t forget to save each entry!

Anyway, there’s a link on the Realskiers.com free, public home page - right next to the Apple and Android app store icons - to a video in which I explain how to download and operate the app.
