Havent skied this years incarnation, but used the model 2 years ago and found em to be very precise. torsionally stiff with very hard tails. Personally I luvved em.

Possibly looking to purchase a pair of these, how do you find they compare to say Atomic SL's or Fischers?
Any reviews are welcomed.

skimottaret, cforcat, I think I skied a pair at the PSB a few years ago, they were good but not as precise as the Elans (of that year) which took my breath away - albeit not as much as my current Nordica SL-Rs. Pretty cool I/we thought (missus tried them too).
I mean, face it, anything truly RD is going to be a giggle. And will work, if you are up to it, for the Eurotest/speedtest.

What size boot do you have...I bought some used SLRs and it looks like I may have to remount at least one of the two plates to get Look P14s on the line for my 343 mm boot...

MEfree30, I am a 334 but the plates are VIST race plates wihtout holes and drilled/setup at the factory specically for the sponsored racer i got em off. Marker 18's so the heel has some for aft adjustment but the guy said the sweet spot on these skis is pretty small and thought it would be a good idea to remount so that my boot is in the correct position. I may be able to get away with just moving the toe piece though and be forward a smidge...

Blizzard will be easier to purchase in the UK next season, Mast Co (formerly distributors Of Volkl) will be importing them next season.

Corky, The full on race version? Or the slightly detuned ones? Would be well impressed if they're renting out the full bore ones....
