Photo Gallery: A Behind-the-Scenes Look at Outside’s Ski Test
Clik here to view.
Each March, Outside and Backcountry team up to test next season’s backcountry skis, boots, and bindings, the best of which end up in each magazine’s winter Buyer’s Guide (look for Outside’s in October). This year, photographer Matt Kiedaisch documented the event to give viewers a peek at what goes down at the test.
Photo: The test has been held at Powder Mountain, just outside Eden, Utah, for the past ten years because the resort is full of inbounds runs that mimic backcountry terrain. If any testers want to strap on a beacon, they can quickly head out of the gates.

The ski testers did not drink as much bourbon as our bike testers—but they did drink significantly more beer.
