Poster: A snowHead
|
A little bit of help please. Somehow with a bit of impulse buying and n+1 I have ended up with these 3 pairs of skis and I really feel as though it's one pair too many so I would like some help and critical input on these three to assist me in choosing which (if any to sell)
Rossignol Hero Elite +Ti - 167 cm - 130/78/110 - 13m radius
Volkl Deacon V-Werks --- 177 cm - 132/84/115 - 15m radius
Rossignol Experience 88 - 180 cm - 135/88/124 - 17m radius
Just come back from a week in Les Gets where the piste conditions were fabulous hard corduroy first thing softening slightly but never soft by midday hardening again in the afternoon. Skied the hero and the Deacon but not the Experience.

My suggestion (provided you like all of them):
If keeping 2 sets: The 2 Rossi ones - on the basis of Narrowest/Shortest for Piste; and Widest/Longest for Freeride.
If keeping 1 set: The Volkls.
They are all really good skis.

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

£100 and I'll take the the hero elites off your hands. I'll even collect.

They're basically all the same ski - a flavour of piste ski - just different lengths. So keep the Rossi Heroes as they're presumably the highest performing on hard snow, and sell the other two to fund something more fun for soft/3D snow.

This or the V werks cos they are arguably more versatile then buy a 110ish ski for proper fun.

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

@Timc, It will be difficult to come to a decision until you have given the E88s a good test. They are an excellent All Mountain ski, with a greater Piste bias than many in the category.
How much time do you spend skiing away from the Piste?
If the Volkls are nearly as good as both of the others, while being more versatile than either - then that may effect your decision. If the E88s are as good as the Volkls On Piste, but better Off Piste - then if keeping 2 sets, it makes sense to keep both the Rossignols.
