Poster: A snowHead
|
Anybody got an recommendations on a top quality pair of slalom ski's? I currently ski 165cm Atomic SLII's but have shredded the bottom of one of them irrepairably so am looking to purchase a new pair. I want something of a club racing standard... not because I race but I just love the acceleration I get out of the turns and the way you can crank them over and hit the sweet spot of the ski to get a perfect fast carved turn on a short radius.... So, what should I be testing? Volkl? Saloman? The new Atomic SL12? Head?

Obviously A snowHead isn't a real person

for me the Head is really stable throughout the turn, the other thing worth a look is the nordica Dobermann slalom, or if you want a bargain look at Dynamic best prices for this type of kit in the UK is probably Bartletts in Hillingdon, they often have last years kit available at really good prices

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

Why not try the Elan SLX. available from GBR sports. A lot of the young club racers in the UK are skiing on these now. www.gbrsports.co.uk
And no, I do not have a vested interest. I coach racers and ski on these myself, through choice.

SnowGod, If you like the SL11 then I wouldn't drop down to something with more sidecut such as the Fischer WC SC.
