Interested in what skis and dimensions you used for various levels?

Did my Grade 3 (equiv of current L2) on a pair of K2 Fours - the original ones, not the IV. I think they were about 180cm with a turning radius so short that the previous year BASI wouldn't let you use them - I think it was 16m

The Mrs has corrected me: her's were 178cm, mine were 193cm. Apparently the dimension were 99/65/88 - not that different from some skis today.

Not BASI, but if it's relevant I passed the Austrian Anwaerter on Dynastar Legend 8000s (80mm).

... generally over the years passed on Salomon 3V's but of course the off piste courses were not done on them (or the Eurotest!). I suggest detuned slalom'esque skis are best!

Curtains, You do have a point there. The one time I had to use slope gear I was shocked at the standard of equipment that rentees are expected to use.

Friend of mine did his last year with ICE in Val; Most were on slalom skis or similar. Loads of Sally 3v's and 24 hours (some said the 24's were too soft).
I'm taking my Atomic SL's and will take advice / hire if it snows all the time....
