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 :-)

Sounds like an upper level Integra (8-10, or an MX4, though I doubt it). Ti IDS is not the model designation but marketing speak for the damping system. Is there a number? 8? 9? 10?

What do you want to know? The Whistler/Whisper series were the all-mountain fun ones, the MX series were for all-mountain hooning before 'freeride' had cachet, the HCX/SLX were for zippy fun, the Integra series were just kind of cruisy all mountain skis that improved on the K2 Merlin/VI generation of shapes.

Well,

Bought some on ebay, but no nothing about them. Due to pick them up this evening.

SKI WIDTHS ARE 111/63/101

Was wandering what to expect from the way they ride.
I've looked at the pictures again, but all I can see it Carver, SL, Titanium, IDS in various places.

thanks for the response.

What colour?

It's starting to sound like an HCX, which can be a really, really fun short-turn ski.

Edit: with that sidecut it almost has to be either the HCX or the SLX, both of which would benefit from an agressive 0.75/2 or 1/3 bevel and really wax-saturated bases. IIRC, those were the ones with gallium in them.

Excellent fun on-piste, really stable with high edge angles.

Not for jumping or trees or moguls for risk of permanent reverse bend or delamination.
