December 2007 poll is over and it is time to look at the results. The question in December was “The Best Skis Are…” and the choices were many from major brands (such as Volkl, Atomic and Fischer) to some not -as-well-known companies, such as Visu and Zag. It is interesting to see which skis people prefer. I prefer Atomic and K2 skis, Atomic for on-pistes and K2 for off-piste. Now it is time to see which skis our visitors prefer. The poll received 42 votes in total and there was about one month time to answer (December).

Top three skis

According to the poll, Volkl skis are the best ones. Volkl skis received 13 votes out of 42 votes. Are you surprised? Now, it is important to notice that this blog includes gear reviews, and so far we have reviewed only Volkl skis. We get a number of visitors from search engines because of the Volkl review articles. Because of this many visitors are “Volkl fans” and obviously Volkl gets most votes. Other two skis in the top three were Atomic and Salomon, both with 5 votes out of 42. This is exactly what I expected, Salomon and Atomic skis in the top three.

Our readers like mostly Volkl skis

Fourth position was taken by Rossignol (4/42), fifth was Dynastar (4/42) and sixth was K2 (3/42). It is a bit surprising for me that K2 is not as popular as Dynastar. Okey, we have to remember again that this is a little poll with only 42 votes in total, so it may be misleading of course. Anyhow, this is how our visitors voted. Other positions were taken by Fischer, other not named skis, Volant, Olin, Head and Nordica. Nobody voted for other brands on the list, such as Alpina, Lacroix, Dynamic, Elan and Stockli. Please see the detailed results below. Thank you for taking your time to answer this poll. Please check out the new poll (will appear soon) and give your valuable answer again. Thanks!

I am an old-school alpine skier, snowboarder and telemarker, and I love writing. Therefore I founded Homeboy. I (too) enjoy powder, mountaineering and backcountry skiing as well as photographing. Nowadays, as an old fart, I mostly ski with my kids and focus on financing their hobbies.

Luxury Skis to Show Off

Why would you spend $10,000 for luxury skis? To show off, I guess. We all do what we want, so no need to question the purpose of luxury skis. Anyhow, check out these skis and consider if you would ever buy one of these.
