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 :-)

@Steilhang, I like Kendos, very pleasant, like skinny Mantras. A very nice piste oriented ski that can do off piste if nec.

These are just rented cos obvs we are on a wee southern road trip and "we won't need our rando kit" famous last words rolling eyes

@under a new name, don't think I would classify them that way, but then I'm generally fairly contemptuous of ludicrously fat skis. Mantras have gone too fat. Just my opinion.

I do and they're 88 under foot. Mine are 170 and a totally different ski to your Rise 84's which have been around for quite a few years under different names etc.

 You know it makes sense.

@zzz, these things are just awful. Can't believe Völkl put their logo on them. Anyway, couldn't be bothered swapping them.

Here’s what Paul Bonhomme said about the Rise Aboves - I would have got the 177’s if they hadn’t run out of my length Sad

Bonjour Bob, oui je les ai testé et j’ai beaucoup aimé leurs qualités mixtes (légèreté/skiabilité), ces skis rentrent bien dans les courbes et ont une très bonne spatule. 2-3 critiques tout de même : je trouve le talon du ski un peu « dur » et droit ce qui est vraiment limitant si on ski sur l’arrière (mais pas du tout si on est bien à l’avant). Bref Pour moi un très bon ski mixte idéal pour ce que vous avez envie de faire Eh oh!

If you don’t know Paul Bonhomme he’s worth a look!
