 Poster: A snowHead
|
Hi,
1st post on here and was wondering about some skis.
I have rented some titans from edge to edge and just have a horrible feeling I might not be good enough to ski them, anyone any thoughts? Puerly based on reading a few reviews about them not being forgiving!
I have skied 6 weeks, am comfortable on all runs, and am just improving on the bumps, but still some way to go.
No flat run causes me any problems, unless very steep and icy, but even then I get down without too many issues, just not quite so gracefully.
I like to ski fast and on piste mainly
I was hoping these Ski's would take me to the next level, as I'm sick of the crap I always end up getting from French hire shops.
Edge to edge said they were great for on piste, which is what I normally stick to, but want to try off between pistes more as well.
Can anyone help? Anyone of a similar standard tried them?
Much appreciated in advance.

titleist007, welcome to snowHeads. I have a pair of Titans and I'm sure you'll be fine on them. They are good on piste, but not so demanding that you need to drive them hard all the time.

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

rob@rar, Do you think so? I'd say that they'd be a real handful if they weren't skied well.

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

No, I thought they were reasonably tame and tolerant. Not so floppy that they are suddenly going to bend and hook a tip if you pushed them (skied on a pair like that in Tignes at the start of the season and they frightened the life out of me), and not as stiff as a slalom ski so they didn't need to be skied hard to stop them becoming squirrely. A nice sort of "inbetweeny" ski that I'd be happy to spend lots of time on, a bit like the Elan Magfire 12 that I replaced with the Titans.

rob@rar, I'm not worried about them in our hands, as we sort of know what we're doing on them, but I've lent mine to less experienced skiers to try for a few runs and they found them a real handful.

Perhaps, be interested to see how titleist007 finds them. I'd be surprised if anyone really didn't get on with them, but it wouldn't be the first time I was wrong if the OP hates them!
