 Poster: A snowHead
|
The last few years my wife has been lucky enough to get salomon scrambler 700’s everytime she’s rented.
For whatever reason she just gets on really well with them. A couple of years ago she got given a rental pair of some other pure hardcore piste carving salamons and she hated them to the point of loosing all her confidence and ability, and she became a wreck on the slopes. I don’t think she liked the hardcore carving nature with the edge biting right in and she couldn’t control the speed. Took them back to the shop and luckily they had scramblers in so she swapped. She was like a different person, back to her usual self, happily bimbling about all over the mountain. Her turns, particularly on the steeper bits, have a bit of slip in them as opposed to biting and carving round the whole turn, but she’s just happier that way, which I guess is fine.
However it’s getting to the point now where those scamblers are so old that she won’t find them in rental shops and she’s going to have to rent alternatives. I’ve told her to buy a pair but she won’t. I’m a boarder so I can’t really help her out, although from reading up I know the Scrambler 700’s are more all mountain ski’s as opposed to pure piste carving, which is why I think she likes them.
Can anyone suggest alternatives that she might find similar in style and performance, or is it just a case of asking at the rental shop for intermediate all mountain skis ??
Cheers

Gazzza, I'm sure she would like the Dynastar Exclusive Active or Exclusive Legend. Both are women specific skis with similar waist width and turn radius to the scrambler most girls I know who have used em love em.

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

Get her to try some out and then for your sanity (and joy of future holidays) once she's found a model she likes then buy her a pair!!

I'm surprised, I've always found Sramblers to be unresponsive, numb old things.
