Trying to find a bit of info about these to replace my Fischer Kehua's (twins) which i love but I can't find anymore.
Have done a search on here, but there is not much apart from the few that have them like them.
this is a review of the kehuas which is very accurate (for a change)
SKI PRESS MAGAZINE
Best Buy: Freeride HP Fat
Maybe size does matter. The Kehua is so fat that it barely squeezes into this category with its 127-92-115 profile. But it turns out that bigger is, for the most part, better. The Kehua is a rare hybrid – an ice slicer, a soft-snow standout and even a mogul masher, all rolled into one. Ski it with power, ski it with finesse. Just don’t try to ski short turns, and it will be your obedient servant. The only stumbling block: the one-length, 177cm Powder-happy fat skis rarely cover so many bases so well, but this big mama is the exception. As tester summed it up: “Great all-mountain ripper.”
i have them mounted on the big mountain mark as the tip is quite soft, but tail pretty stiff  ,
Compared to the missons I also have, they have much more edge grip, much more solid, lots of spring, but are not keen on going slowly, short turns just take a bit of effort (missions are better at going slowly, but thats all, to be honest the missions seem dead compared to the kehuas)
Would the hazmats be a good replacement? does the bamboo sidewall make any difference and how robust are they
Thanks

Obviously A snowHead isn't a real person

if you do a search, there's been mention of the hazmats recently - i think Scarpa had a go on them?

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

I have done a search, Scarpa likes them, but there is just this:
loved the Liberty Hazmat skis... 94mm underfoot, twin tip. More of an all mountain do anything kind of ski though.

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

carroz, I demo'd them at the EOSB the other year so I'd be guessing if I tried to evaluate them from memory. Perhaps someone else wrote up a proper review of them.
