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

Kramer, Go for a high-end SX10 or 12. They're not so aggressively shaped as the SL and are still stable at speed in a straight line.

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

Will you take a 2-ski quiver with you? The SL12 is a wonderful ski, but you wouldn't want to play off-piste with it. Not sure if your target price will stretch to Atomic's proper slalom ski, but you won't regret getting a pair (if only because they demand you use them properly).

rob@rar, I'm interested that you suggest a slalom over a GS ski. Is there a particular reason for this? What sort of ski do you need for a race camp in Tignes?
Yes I am looking at a two ski quiver. My Missions for off piste and soft conditions, and these atomics for hard conditions and any gates that I may choose to do.
Masque, I've skied the SX10 or 12 in the past, and liked them, but I'm looking for something which is going to have a bit more performance.

Kramer, I think a slalom ski is a bit more versatile than a GS ski for general piste performance; I find it much easier to do long radius turns on a slalom ski than short radius turns on a GS ski. When doing gates training with Snoworks we're set a course which is not quite a full-on GS course as it is a bit tighter/slower (similar to the course set for last season's EOSB race). I do use GS skis for that training, but I don't think that slalom skis would be inappropriate. I'll probably use my slalom skis in Val Thorens next month rather than my GS skis for that reason. Maybe wait until the EOSB ski test and try out the VIST slalom and GS skis that kiwi1 will be brining with him and see which you prefer before deciding on what Atomic to buy?

If you're looking at alternatives to the Atomics I'm selling a pair of race department GS skis (without bindings, but with race plates) at the end of the season. They are a pair of Rossi 9X World Cup skis in 175cm, with Rossi race plates. Only been used for about four weeks of GS training (in Tignes), so in very good condition.

Kramer, Surely the SL is the one to compliment your current Missions, as you use those everywhere anyway? Might make you turn occasionally as well.
