No other shop goes to greater lengths to test products than Viking. As soon as we get our hands on next year's ski and snowboard models, we're off to test them where it matters—all over the mountain.
The Viking staff logs over 100 skier demo days each year at places like Aspen, Vail, Copper Mtn., Deer Valley, Cascade, Chestnut and Boyne Mountain. Our test is so respected that we are a principal contributor to realskiers.com ski reviews.
Thanks to the efforts of our dedicated demo pros, you don't have to rely on manufacturers' ads or advice from people who haven't skied the products. Viking has done the on-snow research and we'll help you find the perfect ski.
Testing for the rest of us
While Viking makes difficult terrain a top testing priority, we recognize that not all skiers fit the profile of double-black diamond expert. That's why our slope-testers run the gamut of skiing abilities, from intermediates to experts to racers to instructors.
The result is on-slope knowledge of each model we carry, where it shines and where it doesn't, and which kind of skier will benefit from it most. All to make sure every item we offer is up to Viking standards.
And yours.
Let Viking put it all together for you
So many skis, so little time.
Skis are like people. Lots and lots of different models, each with
different skills and degrees of complexity.
To find true compatibility among the many choices available, think of Viking
as a dating service, only for skis. We can help you find your perfect match.
What Viking can do for you.
Before we recommend a ski, we ask questions. And we listen. Then we find a
variety of models with the right mix of qualities for your style, strength,
skills and speed (even if your speed is slow!) Then we help set up the
ski/binding/boot system that's right for all your needs.
Viking is uniquely qualified to help you find the right shape, choose the length that's best for you and match your skis to your boots and bindings.
We carry over 75 different men's models and 40 women's.
