@snowsam, Head don't support our ski tests.
I suspect they don't like public scrutiny of their products.
We do occasionally get a few Head models at the test but they'll be provided by Ellis Brigham rather than Head themselves.

Thanks guys. Apologies, wasn't aware of this. Don't get to spend as much time on the forum as I would like

.......Do you know if Blizzard had any in the 148-152cm range in their testing? I saw you mentioned that you didn't know if they were going to offer the ex-demo for sale... |
I'll be listing the Blizzard/Nordica ex-demo skis on Tuesday.

Right, good, yes. Have been away, just got back - are all the skis listed on page one still available? @spyderjon, has it all been updated? Do I have to make a decision today? Is there a 21st October deadline for everything? Am nearly asleep and, while some of my most memorable purchasing decisions have been made in worse states, this might not be the best time...

kittya, yep, the lists are up to date and anything not marked as SOLD is still available.
There's no deadline on the sale of the ex-demo skis but the brands will soon be offering the skis to the trade (who'll then offer them to their customers) so they'll soon go.
The Blizzard/Nordica ex-demo's won't be listed for a day or two so snowHeads will have first dibs on them next week.

Hi@spyderjon,
I am predominately a piste only skier, at a good intermediate level and I wanted advice on which skis and bindings to get. Normally I will hire and do find whatever I get given is fine for what I do which is moderately quick piste skiing. I am 183cm tall and weigh 200kg and I was looking at the legend W80 as an appropriate pair. I don't want to spend silly money as I would also need to get poles and a bag as well, do you have any recommendations for me, of any make and can you please lead me on the best value for money set and indicate the size I need to get.
Thanks
Russ

@Russ, somehow I don't think that you're really 200kg (ie over 31st)?

Ha ha, sorry I meant 200lbs, although it feels like more lol 😆

They do look fab, do you have anything else you rate perhaps a little cheaper?
|
|
|
|
|

@Russ, there's the 175cm Speed Zone 10's with the same bindings at £370 but they're only £30 cheaper than the 12's which is a better flex/length for your stats.

Ok thank you, I will have a weigh up and consider things

Hi Spyderjon
Anything for the vertically disadvantaged? I'm a measly 157cm and 50 kg, ski anywhere and currently have Nordica wild belles at 88 under foot, thinking of something a little wider....
I have tried Rossignol Sky which were a blast in the soft stuff and I was pleasantly surprised about their performance on piste too
Thanks
Linda

@spyderjon, would be interested in a 180cm Rustler 11 if you’ve got one? Would be good with those Shifts!

Could somebody please do me a favour and buy the 2016 Ragnaroks? I expected the temptation would have been removed by now. I just can't resist the Rules.
I'll give you until Friday.

Haha yes guilty as charged! Tried the 180’s in JH and enjoyed them. And this would be my touring ski so more nimble / less weight a bonus.

FWIW I skied a 185 Cochise rather than the 193 for a week once and thought it was fine in the shorter length and certainly easier in tighter terrain.

@spyderjon, we spoke earlier about the Scotts and I will await to hear from you, however junior has been weighing up the Blizzards as well. Have you got a Rustler 9 coming as a comparison with the Scrapper we were talking about?

Don’t worry DPS 124 A’s will still be the daily driver but need a skinny for the light weight touring training to get legs back in shape 😉
