Poster: A snowHead
|
I have in my excessive personal inventory a pair of these, unmounted, from a few years back, when apparently they were real man skis , before they softened them a bit. 185 in length. I'd always hoped to mount them for tele (if I got good enough....still waiting), AT or even regular as a hardpackish Euro ski.
However evidence suggests that I haven't used them because I've been more interested in expanding my quiver in a wider direction and actually got used to skiing wider skis in the sort of conditions I might use these.
So should they stay or should they go?

Obviously A snowHead isn't a real person

fatbob, Mount 'em tele (with Hammerheads) - they sound ideal !

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

I am in the same position, when I first had them they were the biz but slowly I have bought fatter and fatter skis so I gave them away in March. Still not sure if I've done the right thing.

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

i've got mine mounted tele - the original 187 girders with skull graphics, proper job
mount em up tele - they were my first/learning and still goto tele setup (BD O1's on mine, nice tour setup)

fatbob, I'd also be a potential home for them if you're moving them on. Let me know what sort of price you'd be looking for if they're unwanted

For anyone interested - any idea of what you'd be willing to pay - unused,unmounted with a protective hot wax when I got them. They are the old model however (blue topsheet). Think I put north of £150 into them so would rather hold on if its looking like silly prices as the ski is fundamentally unchanged over the years (aside from softening flex) as I understand it.

Mount it with dynafit......and go for the Haute Route. Nice compromise between weight-wide-height to tour "properly" in any conditons and any route.

I'd be sorely tempted myself but not poss, sweet ski though and 150 is a fair price IMO.
