Ski Review:
Was given these skis at 171 as part of a hire package and I found them to be too long for my liking. They were stable through long sweeping corners but turned to slowly, so I swapped to 164 and found them a fantastic pair of skis that took me all over the mountain. The spring conditions of the snow caused few problems for these skis when the slopes were icy first thing and they cut through the slush later on in the day. On the blacks they gave me a good feel for the snow and allowed me to push my skills beyond anything I could have hoped for. Off piste they performed brilliantly, being stable and agile. These skis gave me a skiing experience beyond anything I could have dreamed of. They gave me confidence to push my limits whilst remaining stable. I’m sure for a better skier they would have some drawbacks but for someone of my abilities they were a fantastic pair of skis.
