The WhiteRoom Guide to Ski Width The terrain you ski most will have a big influence on what type of ski you’ll want to build. Ski design can be complex and it takes knowledge of the way the variables of ski design affect performance on the snow.

Tuning concepts
I’ve recently gotten several questions relating to how a pair of WhiteRoom skis should be tuned. A proper tune can make a world of difference on how a ski behaves and performs.

Upslope Model Product Testing I’ve recently been product testing a new pair of skis that I’m now ready to share with everyone. The Upslope model was designed as a light-ish BC charger. Aptly named for the upslope snow storms we get here in the Green Mountains of Vermont and for its intended purpose of earning vert.
