I hired these skis just a week ago for skiing in the south of France (Serre Chevalier). The guy in the shop recommended them as an excellent ski for wishing to improve ones technique. I tried them in 173 length, and they provided such precision and support through the fastest turns I could take. I would not define myself as an expert, more of an advanced skier. Occasional jumps at speed on medium hard snow did not prove challenging, and speed was effortless. Heavier than average, their best trait was the excellent stability at speed. Must have strong legs (they are a GS ski after all).

Looking for SX 10 aerospeed 10m 165-170cm.

Ski Review: I just got a pair off my buddy.  I thought they were a SL ski,  more Gs.  We had a foot of heavy powder at Sunday River Me.  Tuff day to really judge.  I agree they are heavy.  They seem to be a nice ski,  I would say you have to be on your game,  if so they are great.  Can’t be to lazy,  they will work you.  I can’t wait to try again.  Are these to big for you Bill?

Ski Review: I used them again the next day.  I thought they may have made a nice all mt. ski,  I think they were a little stiff for the bumps and a little tricky in the woods. You really have to work them.  Over all,  very nice.
