 Poster: A snowHead
|
|
We're in Italy for a couple of years so think I should buy my own skis for days or weekends up to the slopes. I don't pretend to be a great skier but I've been skiing for 25+ years and can get down any piste that's open (safely, not in a snowball or cutting up everyone else). I like speed and I like mucking about in powder and need to do this more... I can't help being tempted by the price of the Wedze all mountain ski and wondered what others thought. The only reviews I can find in English are on the Wedze/Decathlon site itself. Or if you think there are other affordable options I need to be able to source them here in Southern Italy...

Obviously A snowHead isn't a real person

I'm sure they'll be like most Decathlon kit, does the job, decent design, good value but built to a price point. You'll struggle to find independent reviews.
All depends what you want in performance you'll undoubtedly be able to find higher end branded gear. Places like Sport Conrad etc deliver all over Europe I believe so location shouldn't be a barrier.

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

I'd imagine its a Rossignol under the branding as given the Look system bindings on all the ones ive seen and they look so very similar in side cut and size.
You might find the choice a touch limiting, as the other chap has said look on Sport Conrad, Eko Sport or Glisshop for their deals on ski packages and you can at least find some reviews on them.

Wot DOTM suggests.
Which ones anyway? widest I can see is only 83mm underfoot and that's not super "all mountain" these days...
I believe for the record that they're usually Dynastar "seconds" for what that's worth (not a lot).

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

Only 76mm. Really hardly "all-mountain".
I'd think you want to go at least a bit wider for "mucking around in powder".
