I'd just like to tell everyone on ns that didn't already know about this, but http://blistergearreview.com/ is the single best website on the entire planet for ski reviews. Anyone know of any other websites like this?

I agree. It's nice. Check out Teton Gravity Research forums as well. Tons of legit dudes there that review stuff all the time. Occasionally there will be good reviews here on NS, but other times it's just a 12 year old complaining that his parents won't buy him the new Armadas.

Support the living shit out of blister if you can guys. If you don't they very well may disappear within the next few years. As I understand it they buy most of their gear, they're not payed off by a company to write great reviews. They tell you how it is and make no mistake about it. That adds up quick and without support, they disappear. Even using their site more often and reading their reviews helps, because traffic on the site will help justify advertisers ads on their website.

Totally agree, they explain the technical aspect of their reviews very well.

Amen to that, one of the few review sites that actually knows what they're talking about and (seemingly) don't get paid to back certain brands or skis.

This so much ... That's why I always make an effort to link people to blister review in GT.

Anyone know how they afford it all, the trips and skis and everything
