Poster: A snowHead
|
Considering buying a pair of Sultan 85s for all mountain use with a look to getting more and more off piste action
I'm 6 ft, 70kg and an advanced intermediate looking for a ski to take me to the advanced level
Any feedback on the Sultans or any other recommendations
Thanks Chris

Obviously A snowHead isn't a real person

They're ace - a lot better both on and offpiste than the old Legend 8000's. Stiff (and torsionally) construction and shapely mid radius sidecut carves very well on piste with good grip, short turns are also fine, like to be driven fast, and more float in powder than you'd think thanks to the shovel. They're at their best when the snow isn't perfect, really good at blasting through lumps, ruts and bumps, but sometimes struggle for grip when it's icy.

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

I would expect them to struggle a little with ice but i'm used to that using my liberty hazmats which have the same problem with a 94mm waist

Well pretty sure they'll be better than those on the hard stuff then. I mostly use mine for the days when I'm mostly gonna be on piste (skiing with family/teaching), which they're great for as they have the versatility to go off when you spot something cool.

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

Agreed...an amazing ski. I tested some in St. Anton and they shredded the pistes, the faster and harder you went the more solid and powerful they became...LOVED being on their edges...off piste, even in chopped up old stuff, and with my dodgy technique, it was 200% better than previous attempts, so really ticks the confidence building box...
Put it this way, i put them on aout 8:45 and i had such a blast i didnt even think about stopping for lunch until 14:30...
Sweet graphics too IMHO!
