I still ski the sticks Alberto "La Bomba" Tomba helped make famous, Rossignol's Dualtec 9S's, which pre-date the whole parabollic revolution (my skis are 201cm).
They're great. They are perfect on steep groomed trails, but, surprisingly, able to tackle the occassional bump or tree run (well, I force them to, I guess). They're high-demand, high-reward expert slalom skis.
They also have almost no wax left and the edge probably can't be fixed another time. So, a new (gasp) pair might finally be in order.
The problem is, I'm older now and don't ski with the same energy. So, racing/near-racing slalom skis probably aren't for me. I'm looking for a high-performance all-mountain expert ski. I'm 6' 6" and 200 lbs, so I need a strong pair.
Any ideas?
Thanks.
