 Poster: A snowHead
|
having now used these jolly little skis for about a week I thought I could probably write a fair assessment of them.
They're very handy for teaching beginners and kids being short and having the bindings in the middle of the ski. Also, being a twin tip it's easier to ski backwards while watching your young students!
They're much more like a real ski than a snowblade (well - they would be!), but I do find they require a slightly lower position à la snowblade to work them effectively. (Of course the peeps standing on their heels on blades are not in control, doing it all wrong and a danger to everyone around them!)
they seem happy to make longer turns, although obviously preferring a shorter radius, and are OK in veriable snow and on the windblown stuff we had today. Summer ice is no problem, but 2 days ago we had slick winter ice in places and that was. There simply still isn't enough length of edge to grip properly.
Other than that I find them fun to ski on and potentially very useful for teaching. Mine are 139cms, and they also come in 129cms.

Rossi did a full length "Free ZB" ski a few years back (I had a pair). I assume these are something new and totally different then?

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

pam w, I presume so, they're the same length choice - basically just a baby Scratch. Good fun though. White with red writing and lots of rather silly crossed out signs on the topsheet??

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

I saw some Rossingnol Minis in the Ski Hire shop in Plagne 1800 this season- apparently getting V popular! They looked great (black and pink the ones I saw) Id love to give them a go, but I went down to 155 Scramblers mid season and totally couldnt get the hang of little skis!
