 Poster: A snowHead
|
I'd like to but another pair of skis for this season. Something to use in powdery stuff - and more importantly when the others are in for a service.
I already own a pair of Fischer RX-8, and love them. Their forgiving nature matches my level of incompetence, but I love the 'feedback' they give me as an advancing beginner/early intermediate.
Everyone loves the 'Scott Missions' but what should I look at in the Fischer stable? ..what else covers the good-feedback but 'off-piste for beginners'? ....... 85 kg , 1.80m and 53 years-young.

Agenterre, the Rossi B3 is good as it works well on and off-piste and will give you plenty of scope to grow into as you improve. I have Missions and they are great skis but I do think the B3's would be better for an early intermediate.

Sorry, but I just don't get how a 2nd pair is going to work for you? Are you going to decide when you leave your accom that "today" is the day for "occasional trips" into the powder, and thus take these new skis?
What happens if halfway into your first day you suddenly wish you had your other set of skis??
Why not either keep the RX-8 or get a more all mountain ski??
regards,
Greg

I go back to the car/house/hotel and change them

I will keep the RX-8s for piste ... why compromise?

hmm, ok, rather you than me, I''d prefer to ski what I find rather than wishing I had my "other" pair of skis.... 
I tried it once, took a pair of 155 slaloms and my 171 1080s with me on holiday, decided "today" was a piste day, so took the slaloms, first run we spotted some lovely off piste spring snow that I skied ok higher up and then promptly sank into lower down the mountain, and wished I'd just bought my 1080s.....
Cheers,
greg

Agenterre, I like Volkl Gotama's but if it is occasional maybe even Mantra's would do the trick or as SZK suggests Bridge
