i've founds three skiing magazines that have a gear guide out so far. they are...
1. ski
2. skiing
3. powder
the ski gear guide is pretty detailed, but contains mostly racing skis. woudn't really reccomend it to people on NS.
the skiing gear guide has a good mix of everything. a tad more detailed than powder, but don't expect too much. instead of just a blurb about the ski, they include pros, cons, and bottom line conclusions. I would say it's worth it to look at this one.
the powder gear guide is not so detailed, but has a huge selection of skis and a good number of twin tips. Also worth checking out.
i'm greatly anticipating the freeskier gear guide... but for now, this is all i've seen. anyone else?
