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 :-)

My lawd, what have they done to the K Lotta luv graphics, a progressively worse migraine inducer from the 2010 design I think. I love my 08/09s, they're so pretty Smile

Eeyore, agreed. Mrs Empty was thinking of picking up a new pair this coming season (hers are a few years old) and was hoping the graphics would be an improvement on the 2010 ones. I think I slightly prefer the new ones but they're still awful.

Eeyore, I quite like them. The Burnin' Luv graphic is better than my old ones.

holidayloverxx, Burnin' Luvs always seem to get the best graphics, although the 2011 ones aren't great IMO either.

next year is all about the Volkl Kendo, I'd be first in the queue if I hadn't got some new Missions this season.

Thanks for the link. For the benefit of anyone who did the same as me and Arno, the 2011 ski page is at http://www.ski-review.com/content/view/1687/34/. The other one linked is the reviews homepage (and there don't seem to be any 2011 reviews yet).

brian, because it's a more all round ski than the Mantra, and because it's getting rave reviews.

Dr John, I'm sure it'll be a nice ski and fill the smallish gap between the AC50 and the Mantra in Voelkl's lineup, but not exactly groundbreaking. I'd say it's less of an all round ski btw, more like a 60/40 on/off bias to the Mantra's 50/50.

brian, we're getting in the minutia here, but I don't think the mantra are 50/50, not with 96 underfoot. Anything above 90 severely impacts performance on piste, I'm sure it's OK for getting to and from powder, but that's it. My missions are 89 underfoot and I can get good piste performance out of them, but I feel that's the upper limit.

Dr John, no we definitely don't want to go there. For the record, I do wear a helmet and have carried boots as hand luggage.

Bode Swiller, it's a slow day. Quite right, I withdraw the word "severely"

brian, carry boots as hand luggage? Are you MAD?

Dr John, how severe is an extra 6mm over the limit? Think it'd be severe for me as it would for you? What are your thoughts on snowblades? Wink

*edit* apparently I was a bit too slow to actually post as "severe" got withdrawn from under me Sad

DaveC, there's a tipping point for everything and, having tried skinny and fat, I would say that 90mm is the tipping point for decent piste performance (certainly for my lowly abilities).

Further notes;
I wear a helmet
I wear goggles in preference to sunnies
I pack my boots in my luggage
Nowt wrong with snowblades as long as you don't mind looking like an utter berk

There are more important things than width with regards to on piste performance - in fact I would suggest the Mantra's, being both tortionally an longitudionally(sp?) stiff, would out-perform your missions. And actually, for a light person at least, the mission's would probably be better in pow (not crud though).
