 Poster: A snowHead

Hello snowheads!
Unfortunately my Dynastar Cham 87's (the bright orange ones) are well and truly beyond salvage. This puts me back in the skis market!
So far all I have tried are a pair of hire shop Dynastar Legend X84's which I found fantastic on piste but not as good as the old chams off it. I'd have liked to try the Legend 88's but the shop didn't have any. Looking online now that I'm back in the UK, the Salomon xdr range has caught my eye - has anyone any experience with them?
Any suggestions of what else I should be looking at would be most appreciated, I'm looking for an all mountain ski, to suit a 5'11" 90kg man, id say that im a good skier and that im more likley on piste than off it but do pop off the side enough to want something that floats!
Many thanks

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

@Dabber, Thanks for the suggestion - they would seem the logical choice but the edge hold on the legends was so good, really streets ahead of the original chams, haven't tried the cham 2 though to compare though!

went though the same mourning of my poor cham 97 (ver 1). After massive deliberation, I decided on the volkl M5s, which i hope to finally ski in the upcoming week. Ski shop ppl were excited for me (many saying, I have the same skis), but maybe they say that to every sale.

My Brother loved the Legend X88s when he hired them for a couple of days last week.....nice mixture of Damp, yet lively/fun.

@Aftermaths, I'm just back from 2 weeks skiing on some new Salomon XDR 84 Ti's. Loved them. Also available a bit wider in 88mm or the QST range if you want to go wider still.
The XDR's are very light and easy to move around but also seem stiff enough to cope with varying snow conditions. Demo some if you can.

And love to help out and answer questions and of course, read each other's snow reports.
