 Poster: A snowHead
|
|
I'm beginning to consider getting some GS racing skis for all-out irresponsible skiing on icy groomers. I am looking for long radius high speed (as fast as gravity and air friction will allow) carving tools; I already own a pair of short turning skis. I weigh 165 lbs. Suggestions? Lengths?

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

Ghost, Buy the real thing if you can, incredibly hard to come by as there are many pretenders. 180cm, Atomic, Dynastar, Nordica.

I still like my Head GS RD skis but they're too stiff for most people and they're not easy to find, they do a consumer GS version which looks similar except that it's a cap ski whereas the Race Department ones are not, I've no idea how they compare though

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

Ghost, There was a pair of Dobies in a shop near me for $200?

Ghost, no, no, no, you have it all wrong. They're all going for fat skis these days (or so I hear). Sanglard Sports in Chamonix has a pair of fine Stockli Asteroids. 201cm long and about 100mm across the waist.
That's what you want!
Although, if you really really want, I'm chomping at next seasons bit for a pair of 180cm Elan WC RD GS skis. Try Ebay...

I have a pair of Atomic GS11 176cm for sale, £180 plus postage, excellent skis which my son has used for racing on last two years. They are in excellent condition and only selling as next year he moves up an age group and will need even longer skis.

That's what got me started; my local sportcheck store is selling left-over brand new 04? 176 cm GS11 (not GS M11) with bindings for about $450 Canadian. A little too short I think. My wife doesn't think I need another pair of skis; I've got 208 SGs which are a little over-kill and 165 Slaloms (which seem a little too short radius after skiing the SGs all morning).
