Poster: A snowHead
|
Looking at some new skis, unfortunately I haven;t got the opportunity to try, fancy a pair of Kastles and not sure whether to go for the BMX88 or the MX88, looking for a ski that can handle a piste and off-piste reasonably and most specifically that can deal with Scottish skiing
Any thoughts?

Obviously A snowHead isn't a real person

forgot to say, I'm an aggressive skier and an Instructor so want something that will suit me, kinda fancy the MX88 but some people say the BMX88 is also just as good but with the added benefit of a little rocker

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

Not sure that the BMX88 is still made. Perhaps look at the FX95 HP.

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

I've got the choice between the MX88 and BMX88 at good prices hence the dilemma, don't want anything wider than 88 underfoot really but want something that will perform reasonably well on-piste too.

I have MX88's as my Scottish / resort skis. They deal with most scottish snow like is a freshly groomed alpine run, I've used a fair few things in Scotland and none that have been as nice as the MX88's. I'm a fairly tall and athletic skier, they replaced my GS skis as my resort skis and they do not disappoint on the harder snow at all. Anything soft is a dream to ski on with them. I had a set of FX94's before these and they were ok at best, the MX88 is one of the most perfect things I have ever used on snow.

@skilehrer89, the mx88 has consistantly been one of the best 70/30 on-off ski for the last few years , really good in all but deep freshies , a strong ski that cuts through all variable snow and absolutely rails on piste . cant comment on the bmx series , but you wont go wrong with the mx88
