The X-Wing 10 is quicker and lighter than its three big brothers (Fury,
Tornado & Hurricane) so unless you actually launch off cliffs and
rip down steeps that seem too steep to hold snow, the new 10 makes
perfect sense and bring a new versatility to this category.

Ski discipline: All Mountain

Ski-Review's Verdict: The Salomon X-Wing 10 is light and easy to coax into any turn shape with minimal muscle or effort. A fun ride with great built in benefits for skiers needing one pair of skis for a mixed bag of conditions and terrain.
They are not for speed freaks, but you may find yourself skiing a little faster and better, just because they feel almost eager to respond to your input. Skiers aspiring to expert levels will achieve their goals faster, because they encourage better skiing by raising your confidence and allowing an occasional “faux pas” to go unpunished. Ski more runs on more terrain with less fatigue. Most important...the X-Wing 10 is FUN.
Brief summation... - Light, quick, forgiving, versatile and reasonably priced.

I just bought these skis at a year end sale. The description sounds exactly what I'm looking for. They were a bit of an impulse buy, as I usually do more research. After having the bindings installed and picking them up, I thought they felt pretty heavy compared to my old Atomic Beta Carve skis. I'm a bit nervous of their heavy weight - I wasn't expecting it, as they are described as "light weight" in this article. Any comments? | heavy?
