skimottaret, thanks for the tip, but no I don;t have my own gear, but I do have a variable angle edge sharpener thingy but wouldn't want to touch my new lovelies with it ... but if you're in Mottaret at Easter and would be willing to do it for me in exchange for a beer !

Where did you buy the Mags and dare I ask what sort of money did you pay for them? I'm having a pair, but like a bit of value.

Mollerski, from White Mountain Online, via their ebay shop. well chuffed, £349 but with red FF14 bindings instead of the usual green ones. they are selling the green combo for £499 but you can get them for about £420 if you do a google shopping search. This was a one off pair supplied to them cheap by Head cause Head had run out of the green bindings, so no more at this price at the mo, could be worth giving them a call though? Oh and the £349 included postage.

Mollerski, result. Filarin skis are now selling them for £375 in case anyone interested. Won't have the snazzy red bindings though

masmith, the red bindings look fine, they match the red highlights on the skis.

keep an eye on the bindings screws and if they are high screw em back down, they havent failed on me but have worked loose in only a few days. on the older plate that didnt fail i had epoxied the bindings into place and they are holding okay. I didnt bother on the new one as didnt think i needed to....

I like those Magnums
Might need to have a nice word with the OH and get over to Clive at White Mountain......although I've hardly used my GS9s so she may take some persuading

If I could ski as well as you I'm sure I'd love a pair of GS skis for skiing all the mountain. As it is I think I'd benefit from something a little tamer for bumps and off-piste Can't see me doing the ISIA Tech on a pair of race department GS skis...

skimottaret, no probs with the plates or binding screws during a week in 3V, but saying that it was a tame week, spending a lot of time with the family. I'll continue to monitor over the next outings.

masmith, im pretty hard on skis as i am 100kg and have long feet which probably give the bindings/screws a good old hammering... also i was on a couple of courses and we did a lot of bumps and fairly aggressive skiing over the few weeks i had problems...

really pleased. it really was a cheeky bid as i fully expected that someone else would have bought them by that time. only trouble its a long wait to use them which I guess why is nobody else bought them
enjoy your skis too

After a week on the Magnums last week, the verdict is good. The edge hold is awesome, hard fast carving is where the magnums really shine. However, I found them hardwork at slow speeds. Any slow, lazy ambling and they wont do much for you.
