Poster: A snowHead
|
Got these delivered last week, got them waxed up and took them up to the hills in Scotland last weekend.
I planned on just giving them a couple of runs to see how they felt as they are A LOT bigger than anything I’ve ever skied before and took my other skis with me for the rest of the day that i thought would better suit the conditions/pisted runs.
Turns out i never took the Redeemers off the whole weekend - THEY ARE AWESOME!!
I had very high expectations for these skis before trying them but thought they would struggle on piste due to their size - but they felt amazing everywhere I went!
They really came in to their own when we went off piste my friend was complaining about how much drag he got going through powder while i just glided over it - wasn’t deep powder but was truly effortless
Can’t wait to get these skis out to Japan and use them where they are meant to be used!!
Seriously impressed!
Thanks to SpyderJon for sorting me out with these - great service from start to finish.

My brand spanking bright new Preachers are leaning up against the wall humming, pulsing and glowing (honest!) - hangin out for Ischgl/Galtur at the beginning of Jan...the waiting game at low altitude can be cruel, it's true

My mate who lives nr Salzburg has just sent me his local weather forecast ..... and suggested I get on a plane for the weekend. If I could justify the cost (and persuade the missus that my absence would be a blessing in disguise), my Redeemers would be on their way to the airport on Friday.
Sadly, that doesn't look like it's going to happen
