Every year, WST is getting bigger and develops into new spheres. This year, WST paid special attention to the “Lifestyle Trend” on the slopes and took the category “Open Space” into its program.

Michaela Gerg-Leitner
(Former German Racer)

WST is the most professional ski test I know. Despite intensive work in testing the fun factor is very important. I think that's great.

Viktoria Rebensburg
(OlympicChampion)

It was my first test and the test with the black taped skis is great. Not knowing what brand you test makes it possible to be completely focused on skiing characteristics – and there are quite some differences to be enlightened.

Franz Klammer
(Head of Testing)

10 years WorldSkitest 10 - that's an impressive number. The WST has proven itself and has become a major international ski test. Also at the ski sector a lot has changed. The level has become higher, the brands are closer together and the quality of the skis is more then satisfactory.

Verena Höllbacher
(Kroatian Worldcup Team)

I never thought that there are so many differences. My tip: The perfect ski is the one with which you do not waist too much energy, you have fun skiing and you get better from run to run. The WST is a great event and certainly a great help when considering buying skis.

Werner Franz
(Ex Austrian Worldcup Skier)

For me, the most important thing is the handling of the skis. When it comes to sales, design is also an important factor. I am also glad to see, that safety is an important issue with WST and almost everybody is wearing a helmet.

Andreas Linger
(Double Olympic gold medallist in Sledge)

The WorldSkitest is every year a fix date for me and this is already the 5th time I’m here. The development of the skis is really amazing, the ski-industry really has done something for he skier. The Schmitten shows itself from its best side – this all makes the testing really enjoyable!

Marcel Hirscher
(Austrian Worldcup Skier)

With the WST top skiers are testing the models thoroughly and that is the perfect help for every customer. The latest trend: the modern design of the“free ski” is transferred to all the other categories.

Margita Marbler
(Freestyler)

I am so happy that I am able to help consumers with their buying decision. And for me personally, it is a very good time and it will hold lots of wonderful memories.

Bernard Vajdic
(Slovenian Skier)

It is my first time to take part at the WST, it´s great fun and organization is just perfect. I am looking forward coming back next year.

Fritz Strobl
(Olympic Champion)

I think that WST is a great thing, as it is fair and objective. In addition it is a perfect opportunity to test various models and learn the differences.

Ingrid Salvenmoser
(Ex Ski Star)

The testing procedure has been the same now for ten years and that only proves that the WST is significant and valid. In terms of safety a helmet and back protector should be standard on the slopes and just a natural thing to put on

Urska Hrovath
(Ex Ski Star)

It is my fourth time with WST and every single time has been a great experience. You meet lots of friends and have a real good time together. It is my fourth time with WST and every single time has been a great experience. You meet lots of friends and have a real good time together.

Hans Knauss
(ORF Expert)

Ski industry is constantly working on improvements of their models and this year there are some really good skis available. As a long-timer with WST I can only say: keep on going, everything is great!

Der Worldskitest ist ein wirklich einzigartiger Test, der eine möglichst objektive Reihung der Testskis sicherstellt. Weiters ist das Event mit dem richtigen Mix aus Profis und Hobbyläufern besucht. Kurz gesagt "DER TEST unter den Skitests!"
