 Poster: A snowHead
|
|
Stockli SL Laser have spoiled me for life but at €1,600+ I can’t justify them. Radius around 12/13, 66 underfoot. Anyone got a slalom ski that their teenager has outgrown? I’m only 162cm

Someone on ebay is selling Head FIS SLs
https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/177845683752
Or I've got a set of RC4 WC SCs in a 160 (12.5m radius) in the lovely teal colourway with around 3 weeks on them.
Like this:

I'd take £250 but that's without a binding, as I use them with a Protector binding which I want to keep. They are power rail (i.e. slide on/slide off bindings) equipped, so you could buy a new set of Fischer bindings for around £100 or a new set of Protectors for around £200. I love the skis but next season there's a Freeflex Protector coming, so I'll buy those and use my e-race pros (which have a couple of meters longer radius that suits my style of skiing a little better) more.

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

@CathyAuLait,
Skis don't know how tall you are.

What a coinkeydinck!
I also had a pair of Stockli Laser SLs out on hire a few weeks back and also found them fabulous. Likewise didn't really want to spend £1500 odd quid on a pair, so after much research Atomic S9 Redster are supposed to be very similar (some have even claimed better!).
I've just bought a pair and will be trying them out this week. They are half the price of the Stocklis.
I just noticed your location says Hemel, I regularly go there. If you want you can have a go on the Atomics see what you reckon, although they are 165cm it should give a fair idea.

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

I have a pair of Atomic S9s in 153cm, but the older Servotec ones, not the current Revoshocks.
Excellent ski, bought them years ago, way too short for me, skiied them for a day, been in the garage ever since.
The later Revoshocks in 165cm are my current SL skis, and I also have a pair of Stockli Laser SLs, and I prefer the Atomics.
Make me an offer if you are interested - I haven't really researched their value. London based.
Edited - these, but only used for a day.

Thanks everyone, I’ve found some 2nd hand Salomon slalom pros which are lovely. Tiny sweet spot but massive grin when it all comes together. Head Superjoys are great but very different ski for a different use. I’m a regular Hemelite so know the Head brand well.
