 Poster: A snowHead
|
My regular ski is a Head Monster 72.
I'm 80kg, 6ft..although once you add a backpack with shovel, probe, spare kit, water, etc. that would easily be a few kg's heavier.
I tried out some wider twin tips at the weekend in some deep snow (Morzine).
Any thoughts on these skis?
Movement Gladiator 183cm 92 waist, felt good in the deeper stuff, easy to plough through and actually I was able to carve these very well.
Salomon Foils 178cm ?? waist but about same, good in deeper stuff but felt quite light, a bit unstable at first, and not as easy to carve.
I'm now thinking of replacing my Monster with some wider twin tips as I just can't see the benefit of thinner skis when I want to do more off piste stuff in future...

GordonFreeman, I've heard nothing but praise for Movement Gladiators.

Do you by any chance know how the Mojo 94 compares to previous versions of the same ski (i.e. Mad Trix & 90) esp. in terms of construction & stiffness?

If you like the Monsters on piste, then you could consider the wider versions i.e 82 or 88. The 82s are almost as nimble as the 72s (I own both) but stronger off-piste. I would imagine the 88s are another step in that direction, but starting to become harder work on piste.

A completely new ski, the 90 is a capped construction, 94 is sandwich, great edge hold on groomers, nice and soft longitudinally for powder!

Thanks, I'll add it to the demo list.
