What will be the best skis in 2017?

Our friends at ProSkiLab got in touch with us from Verbier, Switzerland to let us know what's on their shortlist to be the best skis in 2017. Sharing is caring, so we though we'd take a look at their top picks for the upcoming winter.

With hundreds of skis on the market, tons of different brands, and numerous shapes and designs suited for different types of skiing, it can be a conundrum when choosing which weapons to equip yourself for the winter. Take a look at ProSkiLab's favourite skis in several categories from slalom to all-mountain.

Nonstop ski & snowboard coaching

Here at Nonstop we run ski instructor courses and coaching camps in Canada. We operate in resorts renowned for challenging terrain and deep powder snow, and our coaches work with you in small groups to refine your skills and take them to the next level. On most of our Canadian courses, an all-mountain ski would be the weapon of choice, allowing you to develop your technique on groomed slopes and also challenge yourself in powder and non-groomed terrain.
