 Poster: A snowHead
|
Hi everyone,
I'm off to Val on Sunday and I'm just sorting out some rental skis and would welcome any advice...
We're sorting out some skis through ski-republic... What would people recommend for a pretty confident decent skier? I'm mainly on the piste but I'm venturing off a bit more these days, and improving my 'style' on the bumps...
I had some Rossignol R9 S last time and they seemed pretty good - but I'm also looking at the Z9 TI Oversize, XFight 4, the Salomon Tornado and the Dynastar Contact 9...
I'm a bit on the light side - 64kgs...
Cheers for the help!

Obviously A snowHead isn't a real person

I loved the Z9 Oversize the other week in Serre Chevalier. So much so in fact I just bought some... So I can recommend those - give them a go - if you don't like them just try something else.

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

I know! I saw that thread earlier...
I must say I have a sneaking respect for Gallic militancy but I do hope that the discount rental place is still there...
Thanks for the tips!

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

I have some 162 cm Tornados and they're great for a mixture of on and off piste. I'm about 68kg and am really happy with these skis but have no experience of the others you mention.

Gav1857, I've skied Tornados on and off piste and loved them, but again I can't offer a comparison with the others

Gav1857, I skied on Contact 9s earlier this season and found them very precise and responsive - I preferred them to the Rossi 9S's I've skied on for a while.

Gav1857, I ski 162cm Tornados (70kg intermediate) they're great on piste and float nicely in powder. I have no experience of the others.

Gav1857, Z9's awsome on-piste. Off-piste, don't go there!
