Poster: A snowHead
|
Hi all,
I'm booked in for an Alpine Ski L1 in a couple of weeks as a second discipline. I'm well aware that Seth Pistols (these ones http://www.ski-review.com/ski_reviews/review/k2_seth_pistol_2005/) wouldn't feature on anyone's list of reccomended skis, but are they so unsuitable that I need to source something else for the week?
I'm not really intending to go further with the skiing than the L1 - I guess a L2 might be nice in the future, but it's not a priority. The course will be in a dome.
Looking forward to your opinions!

Obviously A snowHead isn't a real person

I don't see why not. A friend passed the Austrian Anwärter on OG ObSETHeds.

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

you would get by on them ok.
however you probably learn more and find it a little easier on a narrower ski.
(plus you will probably be told to get something more piste orientated for L2).

Better to use the dome's rental skis I'd say.

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

+1 if it's at Hemel, and you tell the ski tech issuing kit that you're doing your L1 they may have some newer or sharper pairs

Ok - so I'll be OK on my skis but better on rentals if they're decent. I'll have a good chat with the trainer on day one and see what he says. I guess I'm a little worried about losing the familiarity I've got on my current skis.
While I've got a topic open, there were some skis going up for grabs ex-rental at the end of season this year and I picked up a couple of pairs. Can anyone ID the Volkl skis in this picture?

@jiagedaping, you might find the trainer tells you to ski on something more pistey. This happened to about 3 people on my course. One had another pair anyway and two were able to borrow something more suitable. The best skier on my course was on rental boots and skis
