Dear Friends of winter sports!
Servus and welcome!
With about 250 pairs of skis the annual WorldSkitest 2009
took place in the Viennese Alps on the famous Semmering.
Very good snow conditions despite higher temperatures made
a fair and objective ski test possible. The WorldSkitest
is generally done as a “blind test” as every pair of
ski is getting taped with black tape and is therefore made
unrecognizable. Bindings are adjusted by the WorldSkitest
service team. After every run the test person had to fill
out an evaluation sheet and give points from 1 to 10:
short swings, long swings, grip, maneuverability and
general effort.
Under the guarding eyes of Head of Testing, Olympic
Champion Franz Klammer the worldwide ten best ski brands
have been put through their paces.
In order to give the consumer an as accurate as
possible support for the buying process – please find
everything about YOUR skis on the following pages -
different categories have been tested by about 150 pros
and highly advanced amateur skiers representing wide
ranged “ski competence”. Active as well as former
World Cup Stars and Olympic Champions and experienced
amateurs tested the latest models thoroughly.
As in the last years the WorldSkitest was accompanied
by enjoyable side-events like a fashion show for winter
and ski fashion, presenting well known brands like Spyder,
Kjus Besson, Girardelli, E+O, Zanier and Carrera. On top
we had life acts of Luttenberger*Klug, the “Young
Zillertaler” and “Nordwand” who were getting the
test crowd and VIP´s into the right party mood. “Zauberberg
was doing its magic” – in the true sense of the
meaning.
As the promoters we ´d like to wish you a good time
reading through this magazine hoping you´ll find plenty
of useful information there as well as a great time with
YOUR perfect ski in the coming winter season!
All the best,
Gerhard, Wolfgang, Rudi
WorldSkitest
promoters Wolfgang Eder, Gerhard, Brüggler and Rudi Omann
were happy about the perfect conditions in Semmering
