The AI advisor for finding
the right ski.

Most ski quizzes ask three questions and recommend whatever the retailer wants to clear out of warehouse stock. We don't do that.

How Skipilot works

Built differently from retailer quizzes.

A retailer quiz starts with what's in stock and tries to fit you into it. Skipilot starts with you.

01Input

Tell us how you ski.

Visual questions about your body, your home mountain, the conditions you face, and the feel you want. Sliders, image cards, no jargon. No "what's your ability level out of 10?" — that's not a real question.

~3 min · 10 questions · Anonymous · No signup required
02Match

Our AI scores 65 skis against your profile.

Skipilot considers every current ski model from every major brand and ranks them across 12 dimensions tuned to your inputs — from rocker profile fit and flex pattern to edge grip, damping, and skill ceiling.

12 weighted dimensions · 65 candidate skis · Top 3 surfaced
03Compare

You compare prices and buy.

Live prices across evo, Backcountry, Powder7, and others. We don't run checkout, take payment, or hold inventory. We make the recommendation. You make the purchase, from whoever you trust.

170 CM · 88 MM · TI
Why this ski for you
At your height and weight, you're in the sweet spot for the 170 cm length. The 88 mm waist is forgiving while you build confidence, but the metal layer underfoot gives real edge grip for firmer Rocky Mountain mornings. Especially good for skiers who want one ski to grow into for a few seasons before upgrading.

How Skipilot compares

Honestly, against the alternatives.

Most people choosing skis use one of these four approaches. Here's how they actually compare.

Why we built this

The ski you're on changes how you ski more than any technique you've practiced. Most people are on the wrong ski and don't know it. That's the problem we exist to fix.

Common questions

The honest answers.

Is Skipilot really free?

Yes, completely. We earn small affiliate commissions from retailers when you buy gear through our links. We don't push higher-commission products — recommendations are always whichever ski actually fits you best, and the math is auditable. We've also turned down offers from individual retailers to promote their products specifically. That's not a business we want to be in.

How is this different from evo's or Backcountry's quiz?

Retailer quizzes only show you what they have in stock. If the ski that's actually best for you happens to be carried by a competitor, you'll never see it on their quiz. Skipilot maintains its own catalog across every major retailer and recommends what genuinely fits you, then tells you who has it for the best price.

Why not just ask ChatGPT?

ChatGPT works for general questions but it doesn't have current 2025–26 ski catalogs, doesn't know live retailer pricing, and isn't tuned specifically for ski matching. You'd spend 20 minutes copy-pasting questions, then verifying everything yourself against retailer sites. Skipilot is purpose-built for this exact decision and gets better every time someone uses it.

How accurate are the recommendations?

Each ski is scored across 12 dimensions tuned to your inputs — covering body fit (length, width, flex pattern, rocker profile), performance (edge grip, forgiveness, stability, damping), terrain match (powder float, maneuverability, versatility), and skill progression (skill ceiling). Dimension weights shift based on your region, ability, and stated priorities. The result is more accurate than a 3-question quiz and more personalized than a general chatbot.

Do you sell ski boots, bindings, or apparel?

Right now we focus exclusively on skis. Boots in particular are a different recommendation problem — foot fit matters more than body fit and deserves its own dedicated flow. Boot recommendations are next on the roadmap.

Who built this?

A 12-year skier who got tired of quiz tools that ask three questions and recommend whatever the retailer wants to clear. Built independently — no retailer ownership, no single-shop bias, no agenda except finding skiers the right gear.
