 Poster: A snowHead
|
Apologies to anyone who sees the cross-posting on Epic...
OK, we're off skiing for the week next week. We bought Monster 72s back in December and are loving them, great all round skis for what we see and do. But while we have the time (and a ski hire service delivering to the chalet  ) we quite fancy trying out some more specialised skis i.e. narrower and wider - just for the hell of it for a day or so. So what would you suggest for
a) playing on piste, carving, ice?
b) a wider powder ski?
I'm thinking along the lines of the Head Fast Thang, Fischer Vision 50 (and equivalent unisex for Mr Eng), RX8 for a) and maybe Monster 88, 1080 Gun (PR) for b). Any and all further suggestions would be welcome! Thanks in advance!

K2 Burnin Luvs for you
Nordica Speedmachine 14.1 or 16.1 for him
Just a thought.

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

a) I hired a pair of Head Worldcup Supershapes recently which are (apparently) a widened slalom model. I enjoyed them altho I think you have to be pretty committed to get the best out of them.

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

According to Keelty, the Fast Thang is the women's equivalent of the Supershape?
For the purposes, it doesn't matter a jot really whether we get chucked on our bums (although I would hope we won't!).

the ice perv, the guy who does the reviews on Realskiers
Wear The Fox Hat, just a quick question - aren't the Burnin Luvs rather similar to the iM72s?
Anyone got any thoughts on the Elan Ripstick?

I tried a pair of Salomon equipe 2vs a couple of weeks ago in Zermatt, and once I got used to the fact that they were quite unforgiving, they were great fun on the piste.

I loved the Fast Thang when I tried it at Castleford. It is the first (and so far only) women specific ski that I've liked.

Elizabeth B, that's nice to know. I'm really keen to try some women-specific skis as I've never tried any since they seem to be quite rare round here on the hire front (easy to buy), which is why I ended up with the Monsters.
