 Poster: A snowHead
|
|
Just ripped the binding mount out of my Rossignol Bandit's. Repair shop say's they can't be repaired (27 weeks on them so probably about time to replace). As I'm out in EK at the moment might as well try a replacement pair. Can anyone recommend a similar ski?

@Sailskibum, Bandit 1 (74mm) 2 (78mm) or 3 (83mm)?
1s or 2s - Rossi Pursuits (of some description) - 3s, Rossi Experience (of some description). Given that skis are generally rather wider these days you could reasonably go wider than the Bandits.

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

Where do you usually ski...and if you go Off Piste, how often would that be?

Apologies they were the SC80's, but bought as a replacement for the B2's which were nicked. Dabble around with off piste but quite liked them as seemed to be versatile in most conditions. Not a high speed piste cruiser so don't mind something that compromises speed over being soft and forgiving for an aging pair of legs.

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

Ah, yes, I just thought you wanted something similar. @Old Fartbag, asks a better question.

PS, 27 weeks for Bandits is almost certainly a world record. Not really known for their longevity! Nor being particularly, errr, demanding.

Depending on width:
Scott The Ski
Atomic Vantage 90 CTi
Rossignol Experience 84
Scott Black Magic
Remember, you have only used skis with a full camber. Once you go away from a Piste Ski, you start getting more Rocker at the Tip and probably at the Tail....this makes Off Piste easier, but may not be to your liking on the groomed stuff.
All the skis I've listed, have more Rocker than a normal Piste ski. This is something that you will have to try for yourself. The Black Magic is a Piste Ski, but Scott have given it more Rocker than is normal, which means engaging the tips for turning is more difficult.

to replace the SC80 you want something that,
"A day on the mountain attracts Phantom users like water in the desert for a reason. There's no better way to take on a pitch than on a ski that was built to attack the steeps without remorse. Burly construction, all-mountain carving waist, and extraordinary stability will keep you hiking back into the bowls for more. Designed for the do-it-all in-and-out-of-bounds enthusiast, the Rossignol Phantom SC80 Skis excel in fresh snow, crud and have amazing grip on hardpack, which make these skis the ultimate all-mountain tool for any snow condition."
