Buying new skis is a big decision. Like any expensive item, you want to know if a ski is right for you before pulling the trigger. However, the only way to know for sure is to try a new pair of skis out for yourself. But in order to demo skis, shops usually charge $40 or more. Hardly seems fair, especially since test driving a car is free! But if the cost of ski demos has forced you to buy skis you’ve never tried before, or has held you back from purchasing new skis altogether, then Wasatch Touring has the event you’ve been looking for: the Wasatch Touring/Alta Ski Resort Telemark and AT Demo.
Wasatch Touring, along with Alta Ski Resort, will be featuring ski and boot demos from various backcountry ski companies. The event takes place on Saturday, December 11th. Black Diamond, Atomic, G3, Dynafit, Garmont, Voile, and more will be on hand with factory demos at the Wasatch Touring tent in front of the Goldminer’s Daughter. You can demo the latest models of skis and boots, and it’s absolutely free. You will, however, need to buy an Alta lift pass to participate.
Also, if you’re in the market for a new pair of backcountry boots, then on Friday night, December 10th, Wasatch Touring will be fitting boots with reps from Scarpa, Garmont, and possibly Dynafit. People who have had their boots fitted will have them reserved for one hour of skiing on Saturday either at 9am or 1pm.
Registration for the Wasatch Touring/Alta Ski Resort Telemark and AT Demo will happen at 8:30am at the Wasatch Touring tent in front of the Goldminer’s Daughter. To participate in the demo, everyone must leave a drivers license and a credit card in exchange for demo tickets. Two demo tickets will be given out – one for skis and one for boots. All demo tickets must be returned by 3:30pm in order to get back any IDs or credit cards.
So if you’re pulling you hair out in frustration over what skis you want to buy this season, relax, put the wallet away, and head up to Alta on Saturday, December 11th for the Wasatch Touring/Alta Ski Resort Telemark and AT Demo. Because you want to be sure that the skis you’re dropping serious coin on are the skis you’ll enjoy riding for years to come.
