If you are looking at other Movement Skis to test I need to know before Tuesday 26th Nov
As last year, I am around all week, but the official test days are Monday and Tuesday.
So the plan is, you can book the skis for the morning or the afternoon for 2 hour sessions , PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE have your boot sole length written down or remember it, (PS that's not the size of your boot)
If you hate the skis after the first run, then you can bring them straight back to me, 3/4 hour window, otherwise your on them for the full session, this way I can get some runs in as well.
After the test, skis will still be available, please discuss with me what you would like to try, again this will be on a daily basis or maybe half day on some models, I will run this from the ski rooms in the Hotel please see me at 9am to collect your skis.

Ranger Carbon 168cm on Monday 2pm please? I've been wanting to try this ski for ages  BSL 297.
Also, I'd like to try a full-on piste ski, but I'm only 172cm, would the LeFer be too big for me? I've skied the Director in 188 quite happily before, but it's rockered...

Thanks, I'm sure I'll cope with the length - could I try them Monday at 11.45?
Although like some others I have some lessons booked at some point, and no times yet. Hopefully there won't be any issues, but if there are I'll advise asap!

fixx, I've just sent livetoski an email about demo availability and we may not have a 168 CL, if not i suggest you try a 168 trad and a 177 CL (at 172 then a 177 may be the better fit for all but a tourer anyway).

Hi
I would like to try a couple of quite different skis if possible;
My current 173 Shoguns are great ski everywhere skis. When I first bought them they were big at 99mm underfoot, now I have big ski envy so looking to try bigger, the equivalent of the Atomic Automatic?
When I tried touring with them (Fritschi Pro bindings but alpine boots) the Shoguns were heavy of course and a bit long for my kick turns. On the other hand they go down great unlike my attempts on Trab skis and they side slip well with the large radius. Open to suggestions therefore. Intention later is touring boots and Dynafit
166cm, 63kg, 295mm boots
Not sure how to book times as I have booked a couple of off piste clinics and don't know when these are as yet...

Hi Tim

WD Preacher 169 Monday 1400 and Ranger 168 Carbon Tuesday 0930? Clinics permitting hopefully
boots 295
Many thanks

can I try the white dot one Monday 14-1600?
boot size 317
Is the carbon one stiffer as well as lighter?
I am unsure of the bigger/wide skis, its been a while but I am used to skiing karmas 87mm underfoot
Would be nice to try a fatter ski later in the week and conditions permitting and hoping I remember how to ski after a break for a few years

livetoski, Oops just realised as I serviced skis for new boots (the Titans ) the sole length is 312 not 315 as previously stated, can you amend please? (FYI they have the Alpine soles fitted so no worries with the binding height)

I have an all day guided session on Tuesday so can I move my ski trials from Tuesday to Monday, perhaps Preacher Monday at 0930 and Ranger at 1400?

Can I move Monday's Movement Blink 167 Ladies to 11.45am?

livetoski, could I swap testing the 168cm Ranger Carbon from Monday pm to Tuesday 9.30am? If there is no 168cm, could I try the 177cm carbon instead at the same time?
