I'm a level 8 skier. I bought used Volkl 5 stars in 168cm online and they were broken on arrival. (rail system broken). Returned and got my $$$ back. Now, I just demo'd Fischer RX8's in 165cm and liked them a lot...even though they were a bit high-effort. However, I have 03 Head World Cup boots that are way too stiff and this might have exacerbated things. I'm 5' 8" 155 lbs. I ski mostly groomed blues and blacks and like both S and GS turns.
The $1,000,000 question I have:
Are Fischer RX6's in 165cm too soft and too short for me? I ask only bc I can get a pair of new 06/07 RX6's for $200 with bindings. The RX6's seem to get good reviews but the shop I talked to was adamant that they were 'a wimpy intermediate ski'.
I'm not poor - just frugal. I can't seem to find a deal on either 168 cm 5 stars or 165 cm RX8s. These RX6s are very tempting...what say you?
