Skiing is a sport that thrives on the perfect fit—whether it’s boots, jackets, or skis. Demo days offer the ideal opportunity for skiers, especially moms, to fine-tune their gear. These events, hosted by ski brands and local shops, allow you to test the latest skis in real-world conditions before committing to a purchase. Unlike buying off the rack, demoing skis helps you find the right balance of performance, stability, and fun tailored to your skiing style and ability. Find out more about demo days here.
As a Ski Mom, you’re not just picking out gear for yourself but often setting an example for your family. Attending a demo day lets you make confident, informed choices that enhance your time on the slopes. Plus, it’s a chance to meet other skiing enthusiasts, connect with local reps, and learn about new trends in ski technology. Whether you’re a seasoned skier or still perfecting your turns, demo days are a smart way to invest in your skills and elevate your mountain experience.
We are starting this resource and will continue adding to it. If your ski area or shop hosts an event, please contact me to get it added: nicole@skimomsfun.com
