22/23 Test Day 28: Ladies Day

Posted March 15, 2022 @ 2:03pm | by Sam Barry

TSM hosted its 3rd annual Ladies Day this week, where the focus was solely on our lovely Lady Monsters. What is a Lady Monster you ask? Let us enlighten you.

This year's Ladies Day featured 7 badass women testing nearly 20 pairs of skis and bins full of softgoods. Between touring, outfit changes, a full day of skiing and the fanciest of Après — this test day was truly one for the books.

Half of our Lady Monster crew started the day with an early morning tour. Our group had a range of uphill experience, making for some quality product feedback from both novices and experts.

At the top of Sunapee, we celebrated with a charcuteski breakfast spread, featuring homemade muffins and some much-needed coffee. We're hoping to get some more touring in as we move into the late season to ensure we are thoroughly testing every product we bring into the shop. 

After some snacks, we met up with the rest of the crew and geared up for an epic day of skiing. Crowd favorite skis included the Ripstick Black 94, the Fischer Mango 96 and the Nordica Santa Ana 93. The sun was out for half the day and then ducked behind the clouds in the afternoon. The snow was slushy in spots but got stickier as the day went on. Vibes were at an all-time high though despite the varying conditions.

After lunch, we had a quick outfit change to try out some of our luxury brands — proving once and for all that you don’t have to sacrifice fashion for function on the mountain.

We brought out some top-quality pieces from rh+, Poivre Blanc and Aztech — a new brand we are bringing in for 2023. These pieces blew us away. Fitted, flattering and freakin warm as heck, we are super excited to have these join our lineup.

After all this, we worked up quite an appetite. Cue extra fancy Après.

7 champagne glasses, 5 minutes spent trying to open the champagne bottle, 4 tall candles, 2 fondue pots, 1 ski boot flower vase and a whole lot of snacks for dipping. This was without a doubt one of the best Après we have ever had.

Ladies Day is always one of our favorite days of the year and we are already planning on how we can top this one next March. Follow along on TikTok and Instagram @theskimonster to see more from this awesome day!
