Log in to snowHeads to make it MUCH better! Registration's totally free, of course, and makes snowHeads easier to use and to understand, gives better searching, filtering etc. as well as access to 'members only' forums, discounts and deals that U don't even know exist as a 'guest' user. (btw. 50,000+ snowHeads already know all this, making snowHeads the biggest, most active community of snow-heads in the UK, so you'll be in good company)..... When you register, you get our free weekly(-ish) snow report by email. It's rather good and not made up by tourist offices (or people that love the tourist office and want to marry it either)... We don't share your email address with anyone and we never send out any of those cheesy 'message from our partners' emails either. Anyway, snowHeads really is MUCH better when you're logged in - not least because you get to post your own messages complaining about things that annoy you like perhaps this banner which, incidentally, disappears when you log in :-)

Anyone rate Rossignol Z5's?

I'm after some ski's for fast(ish) piste carving. They don't need to be off-piste friendly. I would favour ski's that are excellant on hard packed runs. Are the Z5's worth a try or is there anything better?
Thanks in advance.

October Ski and Board magazine rated Rossi Z9Ti for 'on piste carving' awards and also Volkl Race Tiger RC.

I have not tried either.

chris,

I have the Z9s and love them. They feel so stable at speed, and hold an edge well. Ice, what, ice? was one of my comments!

I also used them in bumps, powder and crud, and enjoyed them in all three.

I believe the Z5s are the intermediate ski from the same range, so if you are a fast(ish), aggressive skier you would probably prefer the Z9s.

I have a pair of Z5s and love them. They are a bit on the soft side for me, but as I couldn't get a pair of Z9s, I settled for the Z5s. I'll certainly be going for Z9s or equivalent next season.

I would suggest going for the Z9s if I were you. I'm an aggressive, reasonably light girly instructor so you'll probably fair better with the Z9s by the sound of it.

I know loads of people having raved about Fischers RX8s. After my week on them I'm going to join them. as long as you're not afer off piste friendly these skis are superb especially for the £225 I paid from Ski Bilek. They hold an edge on anything and boy are they fast. I could really tell the difference between using these skis and my Legend 4800s.
