Log in to snowHeads to make it MUCH better! Registration's totally free, of course, and makes snowHeads easier to use and to understand, gives better searching, filtering etc. as well as access to 'members only' forums, discounts and deals that U don't even know exist as a 'guest' user. (btw. 50,000+ snowHeads already know all this, making snowHeads the biggest, most active community of snow-heads in the UK, so you'll be in good company)..... When you register, you get our free weekly(-ish) snow report by email. It's rather good and not made up by tourist offices (or people that love the tourist office and want to marry it either)... We don't share your email address with anyone and we never send out any of those cheesy 'message from our partners' emails either. Anyway, snowHeads really is MUCH better when you're logged in - not least because you get to post your own messages complaining about things that annoy you like perhaps this banner which, incidentally, disappears when you log in :-)

Head Xenon 10 reviews -- anyone tried them, own a pair ...
 Poster: A snowHead
Poster: A snowHead

I'm skiing on Head Xenon 4.0 skis which I like a lot. What I really like about them is that they are really light (which could be a combination of a lighter ski, and the RF11 binding). I've read that the Xenon 10 is even lighter still -- can anyone actually confirm this (like, has anyone weighed them with bindings?). I think the turing radius on the X10 is a mere 12.5 m (compared to 16 m on the X4), so the ski may be more oversized in the front and end. Anyway, there is a Head Demo at Alpes Grandes Serre next thursday (March 4th) so I intend to try a pair there, but if anyone has tried them, or skied on them this year, I'd be very interested to hear your opinions.

I've tried the Xenon 10. I found them too light for me, they seemed to flap around too much. I'm 1.83 and 90kg, so I'm probably outside their target audience.

Spyderman -- Did you ski on the 170 cms? The Xenon 4 has some high speed 'chatter' as well - but it doesn't really bother me too much anymore as I'm no downhill racer. I love the lightness in the mogels most of all. I'm 1.79 and 78 kgs - and have been skiing on 163 cms for a while -- quite short, but work well for what I enjoy, carving (short turns) and moguls.

ps. thanks for your comments on the thread I started about the problems I had with edge sharpening. It seems to have spontaneously resolved itself - maybe they deburred themselves after I took them out again in some soft snow for a day.

One of my skiing buddies bought a pair last year. He's a big lad and loves them. He paid a heap of money for them from memory. Are the really as tight as 12.5? My Magnums are 13.5, they can bounce me vertically with a little too much input
