 Poster: A snowHead
|
I'd like to buy Stockli Rotrs 72, new TT for 09/10. I am 5'4" and weigh 120 lbs, and have length question. Never skied TT, my current gear: Stockli Laser SL fis 156 cm. Length choice of Rotors is samewhat tricky for me becouse I have to order them next week and have no chance for demo. I am considering 167 cm because effective length of TT is a bit shorter then flat tailed skis, I think. I want to use them on and off piste as medium turn device for variable snow conditions and 157 cm, I suspect, could be too short and unstable.
Thanks in advance for any help.

MG, The tail of the semi is only slightly turned up relative to the tip where a full twintip will be turned up a similar amount to the tip.
Full twin will ski shorter than a semi of the same length.
You are very light. IMO a 167 twin would not be a problem for you if you are happy on 156 slalom skis.

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

Thanks guys, so ROTORS are for sure semi twins, will order 167 cm. I expect them to be something between citizen GS and slalom carver with good stability and capable to ski moguls and crud.

[quote="MG"] Placing them into outside gondolas door pocket...will be tricky or even impossible
put them in separate pockets or take them inside, but usually splitting them works.

I examined my NEW Rotors using true bar and... bases are concave all the way long on both skis, about 0.2/0.3 mm. Is this that famous " precision swiss tuning " or crap job ? Have I to plane new ski bases or forget about it until first maschine job ?

the base should be flat for sure, the first service will fix it or maybe even contact them and see what they say.

Skis are light, very elastic longitudionaly ( ? proper word ? ), rigid torsionaly, very smart SALOMON bindings, demo like. REAL TTips, not semi.
