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 :-)

New skis serial numbers don't match

 Poster: A snowHead
Poster: A snowHead
Just purchased some new s7's in 188cm to replace my old very very tired ones (yes i like them,!!) and the serial numbers don't match i.e they are not really a pair

Will it make any difference??

If there are a lot of 8's in one of the numbers then the extra ink will be heavier than the other one.

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

I think the old days where a wizened old man used to match up pairs before the numbers were stamped are long gone. I've never checked mine, and I certainly wouldn't worry about it. Modern manufacturing methods pretty much guarantee they'll all be the same.

Not even close Wink With "modern manufacturing methods", which are at least in ski industry pretty much same and unchanged for last 30 years, they are not able to reproduce single pair, and I'm talking about racing service department, where they really try to reproduce some old(er) fast(er) pair. For mass production, things are just worse, not better.

But unless you're good enough to be getting them from 1st or 2nd line stock, free from the race dept. you won't notice the difference.

If ones odd and one even numbered, make sure you separate them at night or you'll end up with lots of little snow-blades everywhere...

@Richard_Sideways, Sorry, both are odd numbered............Shocked Have stuck them on a flat bench and one has a very very tiny bit more camber than the other (which is more camber than the old ones have!) but i have never looked at any differences between a matching pair before..................

Hand flexing there seems to be no difference, which is a mega inaccurate measurement!

 So if you're just off somewhere snowy come back and post a snow report of your own and we'll all love you very much

rarely a truer word spoken! Hand flexing tells you little if anything...

Really. You won't notice anything. Unless you, your physique, your technique and everything else are perfectly symmmetrical (they're not...) and you ski well enough to be on the WC circuit (and you wouldn't be asking this here if you were...).

@under a new name, Er no don't ski that well..... Embarassed Embarassed do notice the tune on my skis (run everything 1 degree base and 3 side, have been thinking about 4 side as i deburr and diamond stone them every night after skiing)

so basic advice is ...you won't notice!...especially on rossi's!!
