 Poster: A snowHead
|
Hi,
Has anybody skied on Zag skis recently? I tried a pair a couple of years ago, but that was in August on the glacier at Les Deux Alpes, so the conditions were not ideal for them.

I'm sure ise will update you when he gets back from Tignes this weekend - he bought some Zags at the end of last season from Precision in Val, and he was pretty impressed during the day we were up in EK, although the conditions were far from ideal - the snow arrived the following week, and it was pretty icy.

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

very good skis, these are not the floppy nonsense that passes for fat skis from other manufacturers with turn radiuses around the same as ocean liner  As a result you need to ski them fairly positively, great skis for skiing powder or soft snow and having fun provided you already have some technique. If you just want something that gives flotation then those blue things would be fine I'd guess.

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

ise,
If by "blue things" you mean Pocket Rockets, I've tried those in all the lengths. Didn't like them at all on piste, it felt like you had to submit a request in writing to change from edge to edge!
I know that they are made for off piste, but you need to ski on the piste at some point.
They did float, but that was all I liked about them.

awheelhouse, I can't really give much of an opinion, I only ever tried the Freeride 84's.

I've decided to buy a pair of Freeride Big 84's, in a 179cm length. I'll update this topic when I've skied on them next month.

B2s for me every time. Not quite as good off-piste as the Zags, but much better on-piste.

FAQ
ocean liners get pretty exhilarating at 30 knots, though they sink when they encounter ise (sic).
