RachelQ, Glad that you had a good afternoon. Were the Attiva's the 4* or the 5*? These 2 skis were one's I had my eye on, so I'm quite interested in why the Volkls seemed hard work. Flowers eh

snowbunny, the 5*s. Very cool graphics too, much nicer than the Burning Luvs (being a graphic designer that's quite important to me). I'm not sure whey they were more difficult to ski, I'm not good at the criticism and comparison thing. I just found them quite hard to get on their edges compared with the K2s, whereas the very first turn on the K2s just worked. Sorry I can't be more precise - the guy in the shop (who was one of the very helpful EB guys when we had the snowHeads ski demo a while ago) reckons it's about weight. Do I remember you spending quite a bit of time on the Burning Luvs that night?

Quite possibly, except that it was an afternoon . I did enjoy the Burnin Luv, it had the best edge hold of all the skis I demoed. I do agree that the K2 flowers are a little OTT. I have a new pair of skis. untried, but if they are ok on piste, I will want a good freeride ski for powder/off piste. If they are not ok, I will sell them on Ebay and buy a good all rounder, like the Burnin Luv/Attiva 5*, or maybe even consider the Stockli AT, if I can get one to test. When the EB guy said weight on the Volkl's did he mean the ski weight, or your weight being light for the ski, I did read that Volkls are best for heavy skiers

spyderjon, yea, at least they're not pink! snowbunny I think he meant that one's weight versus ski was what mattered. I suspect that the Volkls needed a bit more weight on them. I want skis that will be all mountain - OK off piste, but good on piste too. And these are what I have chosen - after a bit of research and testing. So, depending on how the snow is at Christmas in Hinterglemm, I'll knnow whether I' ve made a good choice or not.

RachelQ, I would love to go ski shopping but all my gear was new last season so I think i shall have to wait at least until next year to suppress that new ski urge.

Snowy, mmm, a ski for an expert level female jibber. Who cares if it's pink 
The Salomon gloves have a completely separate tight fitting fleece glove inside, so you can wear them with or without the inners - very neat. And no, I didn't buy John the hat! He's a helmet man.

Dave, it wasn't Killy, it was HCC who I don't think exist anymore. One piece, white and purple. I've got a piccy of me in St Moritz wearing it, with my white yeti boots, very cool (not). Don't you dare post a picture

FAQ
I was going to take a picture of them and show you all! I've got to wait for a few days while they ship them up from Bristol. But I can't wait to ski on them at Christmas.
