Poster: A snowHead
|
Hi all
Off to Avoriaz in Jan and am looking to hire some twinnies for mainly off piste stuff, but a little out of touch with current trends..
Any recommendations? Of if anyone can point me in the direction of any current threads...
Are these sort of skis just getting fatter in the waist or what? (Fuja etc)
Have already clocked Davkt recent thread from the Tamworth fridge (thanks for that!)
Height 5'8
Weight @ 75kg
Advanced/expert
thanks for any suggesttions,
m.
PS: Previously skied K2 PEs, 1080s, Line Chronics, Coreupt Candide Thovex, Armada ARVs, salomon Lords... Like to try something new every season

Whitedot Preachers (it's like cheating in the fresh stuff), but doubt you will see them for hire. Then again I haven't been to the Alps for some time...ski local

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

avatar6916, As Clarky Atomic Theory, best for piste/off as season looks a bit thin at present for big smearies; but still smearies mentioned above are so easy to turn and are a real cheater ski compared with a GS, just so much to catch on rock veins if snow a bit thin.

avatar6916, You are the same weight and height as me and I went for the Zag Slap. These are in Nnow and Rock this year so easy to get hold of. You might be able to hire at a good shop but best to check.

Don't know about in Avoriaz, but in Chamonix (up the road), you can demo:
the Zags from their pro shop on the road to Grand Montets (by the Ford garage)
the Whitedots from the pro shop @ Sole Boot Lab (bridge into Cham Sud & well known around here
the Black Crows from - don't know exactly - but a good few places i reckon

From my thread I'd say the Lines or Movements tried on the demo night or Storm Rages skied the following night.
