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 :-)

Mens Slalom at Val D this weekend - No Atomic D2's?

 Poster: A snowHead
Poster: A snowHead
Hi all,

Just watching a repeat of the Mens SL at Val and it appears that the Atomic riders are not using Doubledecks?

Am I being thick/blind or was is a decision based on the monster of the course that they wanted the non D2 ski?

scooby_simon, The word is that the Atomic (and Salomon) slalom ski without the Doubledeck is faster if you have a clean track. If you are not on injected courses and are starting back in the field then the D2 version is supposed to be better.

scooby_simon, Several people that I know found the D2 version too damp last year.

Both versions are in the race catalogue.

In general, at least in SL, Atomic guys (and girls) are on non-d2 skis. For other disciplines it depends on racer, but for SL, almost everyone always use non-d2 skis.

rjs, When you say "Damp" do you mean not responsive enough? Too little re-bound etc?

Would reallly like to understand why; might have my eyes on a pair of SL's and wonder why they pros are not using them; if they are a little un-lively; then they might be ideal for playing on when I'm in the mood for some short radius fun...
