 Poster: A snowHead
|
just got a pair of these and marker schizo bindings for 270 pounds....thought it was a relatively good deal. i'm doing an instructors course next season, and i plan on getting a pair of carving skis as well as these (which will be my playaround ones i geuss). anyone got any good (or bad) words to say about these skis? i've done a bit of searching around, and common gripes seem to be that it's quite heavy and the topsheet gets ruined easily - any truth?
cheers!

They are quite heavy, but that is not always a bad thing. I quite like them.
Top sheet will chip, but thats not a problem - purely cosmetic.

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

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

I have a pair of the 2009 Extremes which I bought at the end of that season, and I think they are great. The top sheet does chip easily, but, Elston is right, it is purely cosmetic. I originally bought them so I could ski anywhere I wanted and play in the park on occasion.
I have to say that although I had every intention of spending a lot of time in the park when I bought them, I haven't. They are my only ski and I have used them on and off piste. I find them easy to ski switch if that helps, but prior to getting these I just had weeks of skiing on standard rental skis - so not a lot to compare them to.
I don't find them heavy at all, but I am pretty fit and strong and can only compare them to what I have previously rented. I have skied about 18 days on them so far (last season - first trip this season is on Saturday) and have used them quite a lot at snow domes where I have taken them on the rails and boxes. Not had any problems and still like them; but like I said, I am limited to what I can compare them to.
Hope that helps.

thanks for the reply! i've only skied on rental skis as well, so i imagine i'm in a similiar boat to you - never used a pair of twin tips before (except the rossignol sc phantoms which arent really a true twin tip). it's good to hear that they arent shocking heavy and stuff as most people claim. i can't wait to use mine, but have to wait unfortunately for the best part of a year!
cheers for your reply
