Ski Test Weekend Sälen
Ski Test Weekend Sälen marks the start of the winter season in Sälen! The weekend offers the first skiing of the winter and, as tradition demands, a big product test with leading brands.
Ski Test Weekend Sälen always takes place on the first weekend in December and marks the start of the ski season in Sälen. Spend the days, and even part of the evenings, enjoying the first corduroy turns of the season.
Ski-, snowboard- and product test
The product test is located at Gustavtorget and all the leading brands are represented. Test this year's new skis for children and adults, snowboards, goggles, helmets and other accessories. The ski and product test is free, and you can test as much as you like during the weekend, 3–6 December.
