 Poster: A snowHead
|
Hi all,
looking for some advice....
I'm thinking about replacing my Rossi radical 9x ti's 167cm (2008) which have been wonderful on piste for developing my carving technique, but been away this last week and really enjoyed some great snow in garmisch, particularly last 2 days, when i've been venturing off piste a lot more than I normally do. There was some fantastic fresh to be had, and had a bit of a lesson from a mate, and really came on a lot  , learned to relax a lot more and just flow, seems stupid but I'd always been tense when venturing off piste, as I guess my technique and mindset weren't right.
Not for one minute suggesting that two fab days have sorted me out, but I really want to try and develop off piste this year, and am looking for something that will still allow me to enjoy the pistes (I like a mix of fast wide carving and quicker, shorter turns when it gets steep), but will also allow me to make the most of my time off piste.
Here's the catch, I won't have a huge budget, need to sell my radicals first, so will be looking around £150 mark, maybe something 2-3 years old....
Any advice would be much appreciated, thanks Neil.

A pair of Scott Missions, they carve well, good in bumps, love soft snow, BUT they are aimed at off rather than on so a compromise; but are able to thunder down Face de B if your tech is up to it holding well on the GS and slalom faces.

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

Depending on your weight/height look at the Zag Big 84. Really effortless to ski. I have some 168s (which measure 169!) I have just bought some Slaps so might pass them on, not sure about it yet as it will be hard to see them go.

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

I just bought a pair of atomic blackeyes for the same reason. Am a piste dweller usually but am interested more and more in the bits to the side and beyond. Not used the blackeyes yet but they look nice  .
Will post a review when I get chance to try them out.
