Beyond reviews, this site has articles on boot fitting, ski sizing, binding placement, ski maintenance, accessories, technique and more. We hope this information will help; much more is available by subscription. In fact, this site has about 5% of the content of our member site.

Ski equipment is expensive—it's best to avoid costly mistakes—and skiing itself isn't exactly inexpensive. We can help you get the most fun per ski dollar. Whether you are just starting, a casual leisure skier, long-time veteran or even working pro, we can help you find the best skis and other gear and can help take your skiing to a higher level, often saving money in the process . . . learn more

Kind words from the Bay Area!

Thank you for developing the best ski site on the web. I used to subscribe to every ski magazine on the market. Now I turn to your outstanding site for everything I need to enjoy my skiing passion. - Mark P

I have been a Realskier member for quite some time and appreciate all of the information and reviews. Keep up the great work and please do not remove any of the reviews from the archives. They have been a very valuable resource. - Steve K

I really appreciate the site.  Back in 2002 I realized I was hooked on this sport, wanted to gear up myself and my family and couldn't trust magazine reviews. - Ted S

Yours is the ONLY site that tells it like it really is, no BS, no marketing hype, no fluff! Thanks for keeping it real. - Carol R

Old reviews are helpful for those of us who buy not so new equipment. - Mark G

I have not found any source of skiing information to match the quality of what you provide. - Lee M

The information on skis and instruction has been invaluable to me as a PSIA instructor. You've improved my skiing beyond a level I ever thought possible. - Ray T
