Backcountry skis - 5 minute research questionnaire

  • 2013-04-09 10:24:06

    Hello fellow skiers!

    I am currently writing my final dissertation on Backcountry skis, as a Product Design student (in England) on the cusp of graduating.

    I’ve been a skier now for almost 20 years, and I was hoping to call upon the ski community for a little help- I have a 5 minute questionnaire designed to collect market research on your favourite skis.

    It would be so so helpful if you could spare 5 minutes of your time, and simply tell me what gear you’re using at the moment- the more answers I get, the better I can represent the current market:

    https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/NBSBW78

    And please, if you know anyone else who has a passion for backcountry skiing, please pass it on!
    Thanks so much!
