Ski Review:
I have had the pleasure of skiing on Shamans twice now. The first time was at Vail in 2010 and skiing the groomers or back bowls was quite simply a dream. The conditions were great when I was there so one could argue that any ski would be fantastic. Which is why the following year (2011) when I was at Snowbird I skied them again. This time the conditions were not nearly as good. The powder was virtually non existent and the ice made the steeps down right challenging. The Shamans did it again and made my trip a blast. They are fast, responsive and agile. While its easy to call these powder skis they are mpst certainly more and remain the only such ski I would ever consider actually buying to use out east where I live. I guarantee that you wont see yourself coming and going with these and aside from skiing the hell out of the mountain with them you will get a million looks as people ask what they are! |
