Hi
Many thanks for the input guys and the welcome to the forum. Perhaps pumpkin might have been a better name in hindsight !
Well the skis are indeed the orange ones ! I realise that it is a slight gamble buying them but having skiied the Crossmax series for 4 years I am totally hooked I'm afraid.
I'll report back after their first outing in January to the hopefully very snowy slopes of the Trois Vallees.
All the best

Where/when are you there? I'll be in VT Jan 19-26 on either a pair of orange V12s or maybe some new W12s. If our jackets don't clash we could compare notes.

Hi
I'm going to be in Les Menuires from Sat 19 Jan to Sat 26 Jan 2008 ! Obviously bright orange V12's which will be combined with red Salomon Equipe boots and a black North Face jacket and salopettes. If no clashes there be good to meet up and compare notes over a beer or two.

Why not stay on in the Alps and go to Alpe d'Huez on Feb 2nd? I'm be arriving there then for a week with my 178 cm orange Crossmax skis that I bought for a decent price in Andorra last spring! In my case they are combined with purple Salomon boots!
They certainly are good at accelerating and were probably even more stable at speed than the yellow Crossmax V12 and are good at doing different turn shapes. Took a couple of days of getting used to since they require quite a lot of energy and quite a forward weight distribution to get the most out of them but are worth the effort! They are rather good at hairpin bends, you just point them at the apex and they hold line right until the exit! Am looking forward to challenging them on the infamous Tunnel! The only downside was that the edges seemed slightly less grippy by the end of the week but maybe that was because I was so tempted to really thrash them!
