Poster: A snowHead
|
im after a multi conditional pair of skis i.e. 70% piste 30% offpiste. i will mainly be skiing on piste but want something that would also be able to cope well with powder days and give me the first introductions to offpiste skiing. i will be skiing mainly in whistler and banff so im thinking the snow will be less wet than europe so would prefer skis with slightly more float than the normal alpine skis. i was thinking the movement flame or the head xenon fitted the bill and i think the movement flame is now movement hype? does anyone know much about this ski and if im on the right track?

they seem to be a pretty nice ski but it really depends on your height, weight, how experienced you are, and how hard you ski...

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

6ft, 11stone, experience is skied mainly harder reds for 2 seasons and tried my first black in canada last season, i ski fairly hard depending on the slope, if its something i think i can handle i will be aggresive and if its something im not sure about i will take it easy. i always take lessons though so im improving quite quickly. i will be mainly on piste but if it does snow heavy then would want something that can handle deeper snow on piste but also let me learn how to ski off piste a little i.e. i plan on keeping these skis for 3-4yrs so dont want to have to change my skis as i become more confident with a bit more off piste. i know they wont be the greatest off piste skis but not really after that just want something that can ease me in gently.

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

shapes,
For what you describe I'd say the Spark is a better ski and better bet than the Flame...plus it is a bit wider at 82mm. You shouldn't outski it for a good few years...
I've used it as a hire-ski for the last two seasons and it is a very good ski all-round
