World Skitest 2007 in Heiligenblut Carinthia
The Ski Kaiser Franz Klammer, together with over one hundred
international ‘guinea pigs’ had perfect conditions matched
with all the varieties of snow.
Without knowing the provenance of their equipment, current
olypmic gold medalists and world champions, hobby and
recreational skiers, and former world class athletes tested
roughly 120 models from the ten worlds largest ski manufacturers.
The test team included: Austrian 'skiing jewel' Marlies Schild,
'regular guest' Fritz Strobl, Hans Knauss, Christian Mayer,
Nicola Spieß-Werdenigg, Urska Hrovat or FrankWörndl. As well
as toboggan Olympic gold medalists Wolfgang and Andreas Linger
and the former bycicle racing star Gerhard Zadrobilek. "Each
ski has its own qualities. However, it is not always the case
that each prizewinning ski is the optimal partner on the piste"
explained a cheerful Franz Klammer.
| The test run presented itself
with a tough and solid side in the morning, whilst in the
afternoon the testers carved up a perfectly softened up
piste offering firm grip. They applied themselves
conscientiously to their work and with obvious enjoyment.
The opportunity to sample several skis in a row, without
being influenced by looks or brand aroused their curiosity
and appetite for more. |

How is was performed
|
General information to the WorldSkitest. We set great
importance to objectivity and neutrality.
All skis of all categories are
neutralized by black color. The assignment and
the change of skis take place in a blocked area, whereby
neutral service men and assistants will support the
testers in changing the skis and adjusting the bindings.
This area is only reserved to participants of the
AustriaSkitest WorldSkitest. How does the evaluation of
the skis work: the testers place points from 1 to 10,
highest score being 10.
