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

nbt, I'm in and around the Chamonix Valley all season if you want to try them on the mountain. We have a full demo fleet of all the Icelantic skis there.

SZK,
Think those Nordicas in a 185 are just what I'm looking for - bit more shape than the average 100mm. Is the pricing silly and are they heavy?

I posted the same thing on the dark summer forum and someone has mentioned the liberty helix's at 105 under foot. Anyone know much about these? I know very little about liberty.

el nombre, I tested the Liberty Hazmats last year and found them to be a fantastic ski at 181cm with a 94mm waist. If the wider Helix's have the same feel on the snow then they would be a great off piste ski.
jedster, They were almost a kg lighter than the Black Crow Navis. With Marker bindings they feel fairly light but still have enough weight to power through some crud with ease. Think they come in at 4060g if my memory can recall the sticker at Footworks.

Best Resort Ski EverBy: CB
December 10, 2008
This is the one ski quiver (for most people). This ski is much like the Volkl Mantra but more snappy and playful. The Mantra feels sluggish compared to the Enforcer. This ski will do it all, groomers, soft bumps, pow, crud, and mash potatoes. The tip is slightly softer than the tail which is a very good thing (unlike the Mantra). This allows the tip of the ski to hook up quick and makes for snappy turns in all conditions. This also allows extra float and slice in the pow, crud, and bumps. At mach speeds (super-g or downhill turns on a 35 deg groomed pitch) it does get slightly jittery. But if the only thing you want to ski is groomers fast, look for a race ski. This ski is all about versatility and does it well!!!

Thanks Scarpa - sounds really enticing. High speed compromises not really an issue since I have a pair of Stormrider XLs....
