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 :-)

Salomon - I should have asked before I bought.

Ok, i'm an intermediate skier of about 10 weeks skiing with no huge desire to do lots of off piste, just enjoy cruising reds and the odd black very occasionally.

I had a good deal on a pair of X wing 8s and couldn't resist. I know people don't like the composite cores but has anyone used these. Will they be ok on piste for a couple of years??

Yes, I reckon fine. I bought some Xwing 6s at a good deal to do a Warren Smith Ski Academy course because I did not really know what I wanted - I had previously had Salomon Equipe 2m long and narrow jobs. They were a good intermediate All Terrain ski, and the 8s should be much the same. On another course, I needed something more All Mountain and got longer Salomon Lords. Sold Xwings for purchase price less 2 weeks ski rental.

emwmarine, ...we've got a heap of X wings in the garage and they have been skied within an inch of their lives; boy, are they beaten up. THey have been up hill and down dale and their dreadful synthetic cores, God bless em, have remained perfect - these abused skis have perfect camber and are absolutely brilliant. They should be more than fine. Of course I prefer wood cores; of course they have more predictable flex and pop, but compared with the first terrible versions of synth cores, the X wings seem to run and run. I have a much loved pair of salomon scrambler 400 rock/day skis, and they are falling to bits (de-lam etc) but the cores remains good, and the camber excellent - and these have been completely abused...others may have different stories (the crossmax was notoriously bad - referred to as the 'crossmerde' by some technicians)....
