Eskiador at the Ski Force Pro 2026 in Courchevel
Advice & Equipment
In the world of winter sports, nothing is left to chance: testing equipment is essential to offering you high-quality products that meet the needs of a wide range of skiers. Every season, Eskiador participates in events where our team can test skis in real-world conditions, allowing us to carefully select the equipment available in-store for both sale and rental. This week, we headed to Courchevel for Ski Force Pro 2026.
Ski Force Courchevel: A Must-See Event for Winter Sports Pros
Throughout the winter season, ski resorts host events that allow brands to showcase products for the upcoming season. Some are aimed exclusively at ski industry professionals, while others are also open to the general public.
« Ski Force » is an exclusively B2B event organized by Union Sport & Cycle. The goal is to offer sports retailers the opportunity to test equipment in advance in preparation for the upcoming season. To get a better idea of the event, feel free to check out the summary video of Ski Force 2025.
On Monday, January 19, part of the Sport 2000 Eskiador team traveled to Courchevel to meet with suppliers, discover new products, test various ski models on the slopes, and more.
The biggest names in winter sports were represented, which allowed us to test skis and boots from leading brands such as Atomic, Salomon, Elan, Head, Blizzard, Racoon, Rossignol, Dynastar, and Scott. Now we just need to decide which specific models will grace the shelves of our Val Thorens store for the 2026–2027 season, with the goal of ensuring your complete satisfaction!
Testing and real-world experience: essential for ensuring your satisfaction
Although this type of test day isn’t open directly to you, our skiers, it actually allows us to improve your experience in-store and on the slopes. At Eskiador, we believe that experience, a passion for skiing, and in-depth knowledge of our products are essential to offering you the right products and providing expert advice.
During these events, we have the opportunity to have exclusive discussions with the brands and to test next season’s skis in real-world conditions: performance on snow, maneuverability, grip, forgiveness, and even the feel of the skis, depending on skill level and riding style. Nothing beats the real-world experience for understanding the strengths and limitations of each model.
Thanks to these tests, we rigorously select the new models that will be available in our stores, taking into account technological advancements, but above all their real value for skiers. This allows us to refine our selection and offer equipment tailored to every profile, from the casual skier to the most dedicated enthusiast.
You also know that when you visit Eskiador, you’ll receive advice based on real-world experience, not just on the promises of a catalog. This is a real advantage when it comes to maximizing your chances of finding THE perfect pair of skis for you.
