 Poster: A snowHead
|
Could anyone tell me what these skis are like on the piste. I've never used freeride skis before but want to start venturing into the deep stuff. Would they be any good for aggressive on piste skiing. Short turns/long turns?
The other option is salomon crossmx v12, but i'm not sure about the colour. I want to use them for about 3 seasons and want them to look decent. What do you think?
Thanks.

I tried the bandit b2, head monster 72 and the scrambler hot and bought the scrambler hot. The scrambler are good fun for carving longer turns, quick edge to edge, easy to turn, reasonably stable, fine in the moguls and give confidence going off piste. The head monster seemed stiffer with more grip and therefore skied more agressively. My friend has the v12 and this seems a more agresseive ski on piste and still works off-piste. I would definately test before buying as every ski I've tried is a compromise between different qualities and therefore within a range it comes down to your standard, personal preferences and conditions on the day.

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

The colour is a very important aspect of your choice of ski.

I understand this is part of how the Atomic/Salomon tie-up's going to work, Atomic will provide the skis and Salomon will provide the colour and naming schemes

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

This is really interesting stuff. Do you have any more detail on how it will be implemented?

Yes, they going to cross a pocket rocket with a metron, making a ski that actually is a normal weight, it'll be blue and called the "off piste hero powder freshies dude stick", 99% of the production has been earmarked for snow and rock

Cool, a real must have for the quiver. I think I'm going to call s&r to see if I can pre-order a pair. I believe that it's really important to have the latest gear, so that I can ski better

Colour is the only factor that is important here. try the Atomi SX B5 (orange and green), then team them up with a pair of Rossi Elite Bandit 1 carbon boots, SMASHING...

Nah, yellow and green for next season. Howzabout a new Schoffel armoured suit (luminous green version), the new Candide Thovex Rossi Scratch BC (yellow and white), Nordica Hot Rod boots (translucent yellow and black). The 80s are back...
