Log in to snowHeads to make it MUCH better! Registration's totally free, of course, and makes snowHeads easier to use and to understand, gives better searching, filtering etc. as well as access to 'members only' forums, discounts and deals that U don't even know exist as a 'guest' user. (btw. 50,000+ snowHeads already know all this, making snowHeads the biggest, most active community of snow-heads in the UK, so you'll be in good company)..... When you register, you get our free weekly(-ish) snow report by email. It's rather good and not made up by tourist offices (or people that love the tourist office and want to marry it either)... We don't share your email address with anyone and we never send out any of those cheesy 'message from our partners' emails either. Anyway, snowHeads really is MUCH better when you're logged in - not least because you get to post your own messages complaining about things that annoy you like perhaps this banner which, incidentally, disappears when you log in :-)

Skis for BASI L1 & L2

Don't see any opportunity to test. I have a pair of Fischer Motive 86s so don't need something to fat underfoot hence the attraction of the Magnums.

The attraction of something a bit slalomly is that they may be useful for working with my son who has just started doing some race training. I've never raced myself so he won't look to me for technique but I'd like to use something for doing the poles. In fact, he might be teaching me a few things in the coming years! I told him a couple of days ago that he has had more lessons/coaching in 28 months than I have had in 38 years! Toofy Grin

@kitenski, so does that imply that the Magnum is stiffer than the Titan ? Just want to know as I am asked to recommend skis and I haven't been on the latest versions (I ski on iSpeeds when teaching)

 Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

@skimottaret, your guess is as good as mine I'm afraid, it does look like they have changed the magnum to be more piste based and the Titan to be "slightly" more all rounderish...but that is conjecture based on reading their website.

@kitenski, okay I read your previous comment as you thought the titans were stiffer. I always thought the Magnums were the stiffest of the bunch....

 Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

@skimottaret, I'm sure years ago (when I bought my Titans) that the Magnums were not as stiff, then they changed it maybe 3/4 years ago??? Could be my fading memory though Very Happy

I would have thought something that goes faster and only groomed would be stiffer.

My titans will easily bend when I put enough pressure on them, I just need to do it at the right time apparently... so my instructor said, I don't believe him, I'm sure he makes this stuff up, like back seat skiing Wink

I've taken the plunge and bought the Magnums. They are due to arrive tomorrow so I should get a chance to try them out at the Braehead freezer on Friday night. snowHead snowHead

@ALQ, the graphics are the 2013 "Italian flag" colours, but essentially the same ski as the 2014 (white) and 2015 (blue) versions.

£250 delivered, or £225 if you can pick up from Harrogate or Ilkley.

Admin please note the ebay link is for information. I have nothing to do with the listing, it's just a heads-up for someone looking for this particular ski in very decent condition and at a very decent price.
