The WST is the most professional ski test I have ever seen and heard of. To tape the skis black and make them unrecognizable is a very good idea as they prevent people to support their preferred brands.

(Edelwiser)

A broad spectrum of test people and an exciting test system- due to the blackened skis there is no influence and results are really objective. And for the industry it is an enormous challenge to produce skis that are really inviting and a pleasure to ski with.

Franz Klammer
(Head of Testing)

We want to support and help the customer, not to find the best, but the right ski for him/her. Personally I don´t really care about design and colors: a ski has to be a ski!

Verena Höllbacher
(European Cup)

Those skis in the category “Ladies Slalom Race “demanded a lot…it is really impressive, what kind of skis the industry is bringing to the market every year.

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.

Raimund Berger
(Head of Testing)

WST is really significant as we do have again very good tester and test material. Safety is the crucial point as we do want to have an accident-free even

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 eight 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

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.

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!
