 Poster: A snowHead
|
Hi, I’ve only owned >105mm waisted skis for the last 10years but rented a pair of 2021 Blizzard HRCs (76mm waist 14.5m turning radius) last year and had a blast on piste. Given that skiing is now mostly kid rather than touring/powder focused, it seems more sensible to use a piste ski to get the most out of the couple of ski school hours.
In summary, I was planning on renting a piste/carving ski again however does anyone have anything similar they’d like to sell instead? Something like the blizzards, around 170cm, with around 75-80mm waist, lots of turn radius (mid teens) and a couple of sheets of metal seem like good things but open to suggestions! Not worried about external condition.
Suggestions for what to look out for would also be handy. I’m really out of touch with on piste stuff!

I have some mint (literally used twice on Tamworth Snowdome) Head Rev 75s (170cms) with Look NX12 bindings that are gathering dust - they are a doddle to ski with a 13M radius. . . .I bought them from new circa 2016 specifically for Snowdome bashing / practice however other than test driving new boots I generally stay away from all Fridges these days!
Send me a pm - will lob in a free Snow & Rock carry bag (that they've been stored under the bed in) as well

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

I love my Rossignol,Hero Elite ST Ti slalom skis. Great fun on piste. Super stable at speed also. I’ve had them up to 100kph

Belch, on the face of it they sound great, I haven’t found a lot of information but I think I’m after something that you can lean on a bit harder than the Rev 75s. If nothing else pops up I’ll pm you though.
Rickboden, thanks for the heads up will have a look.

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

I bought mine from https://www.skidoccasion.com/fr/
They were ex test skis and significantly cheaper than buying new.
Came in great condition.
They will post direct to your hotel if you want them to.
Good luck

@the sheep, I have two pairs similar to what you're looking at.
Dynastar Master GS skis 175 with a 19m radius, and Rossignol M18, again 175 with an 18m radius. In essence they're the same ski just with a 1m radius difference.
You're pretty much looking at the classic instructor skis, so something like a Fischer Curv could work, or maybe the Atomic Redster X9S which in a 175 comes with a 15.2m radius.

@the sheep, No worries - they might be a bit 'improver/soft' for your level tbf
Based on your wide ski experience I'd bite the bullet and go for some BC Mirus Cor - 87mm waist / Twin Tipped Rockers / 13M turning radius . . . b*stard love child of a slalom and park ski!
