Poster: A snowHead
|
Advice welcome from you ski technical experts please on most appropriate of 4 options above.
Only for rent, so not for life! BoyChild, 80kg, 1.8m. Decent piste skier, push quite hard and fast, most blacks (eg EK) no problem. Like to think technically better than I really am. Occasional off piste exploration but nothing much backcountry, recovering from knee injury. Conditions likely excellent on piste, well groomed, with fresh/loose snow from predicted snowfall. Likely temp range -10c to +2c approx. Tend to like heavier, more stable skis rather than lighter and what I find less predictable (eg Atomic Redsters tried recently...didn't like much). Hoping that makes sense. Got on very well with Blizzard Brahmas, but not on offer this time.

Obviously A snowHead isn't a real person

All decent options, no way of knowing which you would actually prefer. If you prefer heavier/damp skis, just look up reviews and specs of your shortlist and pick one.

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

@uktrailmonster, thanks and will do. Just wondered if any keen snowHeads own them or tried them out in test trials, rented, etc?

Research suggests Rossi Experience 88 best to start with for me.

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

Haven't tried them myself, but never heard a bad word about that ski. Appears to be very good at most things on or near piste. I doubt you could go far wrong with that choice.

You'll need to Register first of course.

I've got the Exp 88 from W14/15 and like them. Turns easily on piste and I've never managed to overski them at a similar level to yourself. Handle the soft stuff off to the side of the piste just fine, nice big shovel on the front. Pretty heavy so maybe not the easiest to whip around trees/moguls but they're ok and I like them heavy anyway. Reckon they'd be ideal for you but never ski'd the other options to be fair.
