This thread is mostly just to alert those of you who don't go to the news section all that often and to tell you a bit more about the picks.
The picks are a completely independent choice for our team of Gear Editors. Nothing is paid for by the brands, nobody pays for reviews on NS. Brands are supplying us with skis to test but no guarantees are given as to positive or negative reviews, let alone being selected as an editors pick. In addition many of the picks are just items we happen to have bought and loved. The selections are what we'd choose to have in our Roofboxes.
Make sure you check out the review system before posting asking for reviews in the forums, it's a greatly underused asset on the site. And make sure you review your gear, you could be in with a chance of becoming part of the Gear Team in the future.
