Poster: A snowHead
|
After my atomics finally gave up the ghost last season I wanted a new pair of more piste orientated skis for this season. I've had a 3 year love affair with the Head Supershape Magnums in their different guises but never really 'needed' a new pair so held off. Anyhow a pre-loved pair came up and I managed to negotiate a price of only £200 + delievery. The seller sent loads of pictures and they looked as he described although I remained a bit dubious without being able to see them in the flesh. Well they landed this afternoon and I almost wee'd myself when I unwrapped them-they look like they've never been off the rack!
End result is I'm a very happy boy. They're 177's and about one of the best skis I've used in recent years, and will compliment my quiver brilliantly.
That is all

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

Grizwald, I`ve just picked up my new Head Titans, having used Magnums last year and having been amazed by them. I am a low intermediate, reasonably fit and with a hard manual job, and I found that the Magnums turned me into a much better skier, who actually started to think about his technique for once. They put a huge smile on my face, despite the poor varied conditions of last year. Got Titans as I would like to venture off the edge of the piste with a bit more confidence, so I hope that I have not made a mistake, having never skied them !! The waiting is the worst thing, is`nt it ?

pam w, I'm heading up to the Glasgow fridge tomorrow but I think I'll save them until my first trip abroad.
cstreat, If I'm honest I was holding out for a pair of Titans but I've waited 6 months for a pair of 177's so when the Mags came up I decided to go for it. I have various skis including some fat off piste skis so I'm covered if good condtions present themselves! Out of 4 weeks last year I think I only got my fattie off pistes out twice.... I've not tried the Titans yet, I might demo a pair tomorrow and some Salamon BBR's just for a laugh!
As you get better you'll probably find that you will be able to ski a variety of skis in a variety of conditons. The Mags are well behaved enough that they won't run away with you so I suspect the Titans will be the same, you don't really feel the kick from the KERS until your carving out of the turn.

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

This is my second year with the Titans, best ski I've ever owned. My talent runs out way before theirs.
Grizwald, Don't bother with the BBR, they're crap.
