hybrid, welcome to snowheads, I can't give you an opinion on Salomons, I'm not a fan of anything they produce, only ever owned one pair of Salomon skis but I did use a pair of Fishers RX4s for a number of seasons and loved them.

hybrid, I have Fischer World cup slalom skis and they're great. Not too bad at all off piste - but they are very stiff. The RX4 should be fine for you, but make sure you get a short one. they're still quite stiff. If you can get a pair in Sofia I really recommend the Scott Aztec or this year's Scott P3. These are really super all- around skis. The Sztecs are quite expensive though. Have fun, and welcome to

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

hybrid, If you're serious about the 40% off piste I wouldn't go for anything with less than 70mm waist and also wouldn't go short. A slalom rece ski would definitely not be on my short list.
easiski, I'm not sure how you can recommend a slalom race ski in one sentence and then say pick up Scott Aztecs, a mid fat, in the next  but I'd agree the Aztecs would fit the bill from a general spec and repuation (not skied them myself)

easiski, as a professional you've probably a better idea of what works and what doesn't. IMO it's very rare for anyone to spend a high percentage of their time off-piste, excluding ski-tourers of course. Like you, I've been skiing for many years, going off-piste in years past, on 205cms narrow skis never bothered me, it's just easier now on just about any ski. I can't understand why everyone gets so worked up about exact ski sizes, I ski on anything from 155cms slalom skis to 185cms all-mountain boards without any concerns, you just vary your technique depending on the characteristics of the ski.

rich, Yanks??? Anyway - it doesn't FEEL like a fat ski!!!
David@traxvax, I go from about 150 - 170 now. I do try not to go above 170! funny when I used to ski on 200 or even longer in some cases. However I don't see the huge advantage to ski-ing long off piste unless you're going to really razz down the stuff a la videos. Most of us like short turns in the deep, so short skis are clearly an advantage!!!
BTW I get the mick taken something shocking by lots of the locals because of my preference for short slalom skis!! Makes me feel I belong though!
