Mail for help.Help!!

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 :-)

If you liked the Eliminators and want skis to focus on getting you off-piste more, I would go a little fatter and can recommend the Hot Rod Nitrous (78mm waist) or maybe fatter still with the Hot Rod Afterburner (83mm waist I think).

Some people woud say go fatter still but I think that would depend how much off-piste (read as deep snow) you plan to be skiing.

 Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

Agree with Conor, get a ski with a good sidecut and aim for a minimum of 80mm in the waist. The Scott Mission is one such ski, albiet 89mm in the waist has a very short turn radius.

LOL @ odin. Thats me sliding down the slope on my butt wink . thanks all, i had a look at scott missions they look like they would fit the bill.

Maybe K2 outlaws, 88mm underfoot and 19m side cut.
