 Poster: A snowHead
|
Looking to get some Super G skis to race in the Inferno. I've used the Atomic SG 210cms before and they're great
Do people recommend the women's or men's skis? Smaller turning radius is an advantage on the women's I guess.
Thoughts appreciated!

Obviously A snowHead isn't a real person

chazman, Not more economically sensible just to rent a pair from Eddy?

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

Also, no idea of your build or ability, but I'm taking myself down to 180 GS this year

Not if you do it every year! I actually tend to go to Pete at Staeger Sport.
I'd probably use them on and off at other times in the season too as they're pretty fun piste skis.
I think it makes a big difference having the longer skis on the flats, but note opinion is totally divided!

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

chazman, There's a uk website for 2nd hand kit I'll try and ping you tomorrow.
Yeah, I'm 170cm and I've raced Inferno from 215cm to 160cm and the biggest differentiator in personal performance has been fitness. Can't claim any outstanding results anyway.
I don't think long skis help that much on the traverses, maybe post-hogsback but my internal jury is out.
I definitely feel happier when I need to bang in a turn on shorter, albeit not short, skis.
I was well trounced last year by a female chum (albeit much more race pedigreed than I) who used a pair of 165 SLs....

chazman, Try www.skizog.com - Plenty of 2nd hand race skis on there from Downhill to Slalom. I'm sure you'll find something suitable.
