 Poster: A snowHead
|
I am going to do my best to get to the PSB this year. Before I go I would like a little guidence. I have had my Salomon Xwing 6 172 for a couple of years and have had so much fun with them to take me from Intermediate to advance intermediate ( so I think ). Would love to try the next step up in skis at the bash in Dec.
Any suggestions
I look forward to your input.

Or the new Dynastar Cham range , seems to be getting rave reviews.
But what do i know

lordh,
1. try lots of things
2. in as many conditions (PSB probably not ideal for that but, hey, you work with what you have)
3. try lots of different styles and manufacturers. I would suggest that anything would be a massive step up from X wings. But I'm not a big Salomon fan.
Have a look at Volkl if they're there, it's difficult to go wrong with Volkl.

under a new name, hmm after Salomon, Volkl imo the ski you have to think about every turn.

under a new name,
Salomon - easy skiing punter skis
Volkl - Germanic technical skiers' skis?
I generalise massively of course but you might both be saying the same thing

I had some Volkl skis a few years ago - can't remember what, exactly. 20/20 somethings. Recommended to me by Filarinskis - quite light, very easy, were in the sale, and I took their advice. I certainly didn't have to think about them too much and I certainly wasn't a "technical skier". They were very nice, used them for some years.

snowHeads are a friendly bunch.

fatbob, That'll be it. Except volkls aren't any harder to ski on than any thing else, they just feel nicer.
Like silk versus cheap nylon...

And love to help out and answer questions and of course, read each other's snow reports.

lordh, The natural successor to the tornado’s is the Salomon Enudro series I actually think they wipe the floor with the Tornado’s.
But everyone to their own, try lots of different skis that suit your requirements and you will know as soon as you have found the right one.
