We don’t just order skis off the trade show floor or from a manufacturer’s product catalog; if a ski is on our wall, it has gone through our extensive on-snow testing process, and it’s been debated, analyzed, and compared. We’ve discussed the nuances of the ski, and identified its targeted skier profile.
All of our test skis are carefully tuned and waxed for optimum performance, so you’ll get to ski them at their best.
Jans Test Program customers are provided with unlimited ski exchanges throughout the day, dependent upon the availability of specific Test Ski sizes and models. Should you decide to buy, we will credit up to three paid Test Program days toward the purchase price of a pair of new, full priced skis (receipts required). If you aren't ready to purchase skis of your own, our Ski Rental Service in Park City offers a variety rental packages that cater to advanced, intermediate, and beginner skiers.
Below is our current Test Program fleet. Due to quantity restraints and customer demand, we cannot guarantee that all skis and/or sizes will be available every day. To check the availability of specific Test Skis, please contact us.
Carving skis are traditionally what most people ski, especially on the East Coast and in the Midwest. They are narrow underfoot, from 64 mm to 80 mm, so they transition from edge to edge quickly. And they are torsionally stiff, so they hold an edge even on firm snow. The narrow waist is an asset on the groomed runs, but becomes a liability in deep snow. With a turning radius of generally less than 17 meters, carving skis will rail turn after turn.

For most people who only want one ski in their quiver, it should probably come from the all-mountain category.

Powders skis range from 100 mm to 130+ mm underfoot, and most of them aren’t very happy on anything other than steep and deep, especially the ones with zero camber or reverse camber underfoot. Almost all have rocker (early rise in the tips) to help the skis float in the deep snow, and to make them easier to turn. Powder skis rise above the snow so they are very easy to turn in the tight trees, and quite stable making big long arcs in open bowls.
