 Poster: A snowHead
|
As stated above I'm looking at a new solely piste orientated ski. Looking for something with roughly 16-18m radius as I plan to do level 3 ski exams on them. Currently my first choice is the Fischer RC4 World Cup RC, which I have demoed.
Does anyone have any recommendations of similar/alternative skis?

What is your height, weight, current ability?

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

My stepson (currently in NZ doing his level 3 ISIA) is positively ecstatic about his 14/15 Head Supershap Titans. Like most youngsters on skis over the last few years, he's favoured twin tips and fatties all in the 90mm plus bracket with an 18m plus radius.. He's now saying the Titans are the best skis he's ever had (as in...provided by his dad and shipped to NZ "on loan" 😉 to assist him in his endeavours to get to the next level). He's about 5ft 10 and a slim build-my guess is about 11 stone. Good deals still available online for a new pair. Think they are around the 170cm length. Perfect for super fast carved turns.

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

Ive had the Titans for a couple of year, amazing ski.
I think though for the OP, if you were going for any of the supershape range i'd go for the Magnums - They are 100% piste orientated (Titans 90/10) and hold ssooooo well at speed

I bought a pair of Magnums for doing my L1 when I planned on doing it at the Snowdome. I tried them out at Braehead and found them to be superb. They felt 'alive' under my feet and made me ski like an expert. When I decided to do the L1 at Hillend I felt I could not subject the Magnums to Hillend as I did not want to ruin them on the matting. I bought a cheap pair of Head Icons for the course and after looking at the bases today after 5 days on Hillend I'm glad I did.

I currently ski a similar ski to the Titan and was looking for something a bit narrower with a longer radius as I have been advised that level 3 requires a longer radius. I'm 5'10" and 10 stone

If you ski the titan and want longer radius and skinnier waist then surely you want some gs skis,
head rebels, 65-68 waist 23-32m radius
atomic redster 72 waist 15-18m radius
volkl uvo gs 70 waist 18-20m radius
rossignol hero master 70 waist 18m radius
rossignol hero FIS 65 waist 27-35m radius
Plus what the others I cant be bothered checking sell, plenty of options though
