HOW SKISELECTOR  WORKS

Why Digital Testing Replaces Paper Tests

Traditional paper tests (ink or marker methods) are now obsolete. They are highly subjective, inconsistent, and cannot measure dynamic flex under real skiing forces. SkiSelector is the only machine in North America that tests skis 100 % digitally using precise, repeatable, data-driven measurements — eliminating human guesswork completely.



THE TECHNOLOGY BEHIND THE SKISELECTOR

Structure

A 2.5-meter precision block packed with motors, high-sensitivity pressure sensors, chips, and...

Precision

A computer-controlled pressure applicator that simulates the exact force you personally put...

Advanced

Force is calculated from your body weight + your skiing ability level (beginner to World Cup...

Personal

The ski is loaded exactly as it would be on snow — no more “it feels about right”



WHAT WE MEASURE

X-AXIS (HORIZONTAL)

The entire length of the ski, perfectly aligned with its physical position in the machine.


(tip on the left, binding area in the centre, tail...

Y-AXIS (VERTICAL)

Camber height in millimetres .


(how far the base lifts off the “snow” at every point)

RED LINE

Shows exactly how the ski flexes under half your body weight.


(the pressure phase when one ski is lightly loaded or in transition)

BLUE LINE

Shows the flex under your full body weight.


(the moment both legs push on one ski, like in a powerful classic stride or skate push)

Together, the red and blue lines reveal the complete pressure distribution picture of the ski:


-How deep and where the grip pocket forms (classic skis)

-How cleanly the ski closes and re-opens (critical for kick and glide)

-How much camber returns in the glide phase (skate skis)

-Where the ski is too stiff or too soft for your weight and technique

-The exact snow temperature and track conditions where this pair will perform at its best



TWO TESTING MODES

PERFECT WEIGHT MODE

Calculates the exact skier weight the ski was designed for.

PERSONAL FLEX PROFILE MODE

Tests the ski under your exact weight & ability level to show grip, glide, pocket depth, ideal snow conditions and temperature range.

OUR VISION

Every Ski Is Pre-Tested Before It Hits the Floor

We test every single pair that arrives in the shop on the SkiSelector before we ever put it on display. Only the best-performing skis make it to the sales floor.


Every Customer Gets a Personal Test

When you come in, we don’t just hand you a ski — we test multiple pairs for you on the machine using your exact weight and ability. We hand-pick the very best match (or matches) from our inventory, whether you’re a beginner, a weekend warrior, or a racer.


Our Promise

We’re not here to move as many skis as possible. We’re here to get the right ski under your foot so you enjoy skiing more — period.

That’s why we invest the time to pre-test every ski and personally test for every customer.
