 Poster: A snowHead
|
|
I'm off to VT in a few weeks, and I might accidently buy some skis. I do rather like my Volkl 5*'s - any suggestions for suitable equivalents to try out?

Hoppo, go in to Ski Tecnic & demo the Icelantic's & the High Society's.

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

Hoppo, Try the Icelantic's, as a fellow owner of 5*'s, pretty sure you will find the Pilgrims enjoyable, similar feel to the5*'s but with a little bit more width for any foray's into powder.

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

spyderjon, couple of weeks a year since I got them from you - I think they're good for another few years yet but HappyMouffe got shiny new Burnin' Luvs and I'm jealous. 
Thanks for the tips - I admired Ski Tecnic and there huge snowHeads banner last year when we were in VT (at least I think it was them).

Megamum, I haven't done it yet I do really like my 5*'s - they made a huge difference to my skiing and confidence, so an accident may not happen...

Much as I love the High Societies, I wouldn't see them as an equivalent to Volkl 5*'s - very different kind of ski IMO.

You know it makes sense.

As reported elsewhere I ended up with a pair of Volkl Tigersharks, which are lovely and were carried back from the shop in the manner of religious artifacts I bought them from Zenith Ski, who were friendly, helpful but not particularly efficient at providing skis to play with - although I did try out the Tigersharks for a few days and compared them against my 5*'s. Other alternatives suggested in resort for the 5*'s included Salomon Tornado, Rossignol Zenith Z9 and Volkl AC3's.

Yes - having gone in to look at them, there was much amusement that these skis had been suggested as a replacement for the 5*s
