 Poster: A snowHead
|
Wondering wether to try and find a decent pair in the summer sales that would work well for me inside a fridge doing L1 and teaching inside a fridge, but also would allow me to do L2 in the mountains and ski with the kids on piste with the occasional foray off?
I already have a pair of 98mm 'all mountain' skis and a 112mm fat pair....so wondering about maybe getting a slalomish 165cm ski?
Or do I do the L1 on hire skis and L2 on my 98mm ones??
What do folk reckon and anyone seen any great deals in the summer sales?
Cheers,
Greg

kitenski, I did my Level 1 on Head Supershape Magnums 170's (Hemel) and my Level 2 on Atomic D2 Race SL 165's (Courchevel) I am 6 foot and 78kg
I would use the Atomics for both of the above courses if I did it all over again.
No idea on any good deals out there though.

kitenski, i got Quiver Killers put on mine by SpyderJon so that i could use my existing VIST's. I am sure you could get some cheap demo bindings somewhere.

another vote for 165 SL skis. In my case i got some Salomon 3Vs at a decent price and they are great for the L1/L2s. I think most of the entry level (aka cheater) SL models will work well on these courses and will outperfom all mountain skis for the things BASI really want to see in these courses (tidy short radius turns and ability to carve clean arcs on easy terrain).

o11y, cheers, I have quiver killers on my other skis but was hoping to not use touring bindings on a slalom ski, you've now made me press the buy button though, so thanks for that link
