Dream quivers
The Fantasy Draft is set up much like a draft in baseball or football. Each of 15 skiers selects their favorite ski in four categories, plus boots and a binding—as if they were building a team. Once a product is chosen, it is off the table. This is intended to provide a well-rounded view of what’s available this season, though players may also highlight their overall favorite. This year, each skier has a single page to display their quiver. Who selected the best team? That’s up for you to decide.

The following reviews constitute a sample taken from our 10 Shop Rats.
