Elans are SOLD: More conversation about skis

[JimG.]

Yeah I know I should demo, I really meant to last year but never got a chance.

You need to devote the day to it...make it your mindset.

Last time I demoed, I tried out 6 different pairs of twintips/bump skis in a 2 day span. I read all the write-ups first, and all 6 skis were rated pretty much the same for the same types of conditions. Talking to the reps only reinforced that.

All 6 skis skied very differently though. 4 of them I had no use for at all, didn't like them. The 2 winners were good overall skis and good in all the conditions (groomed, ice, bumps) available that day, but one was better on the groomed and the other better in bumps. I spend more time in bumps, so that was the clear winner for me.

Thats my problem, when I have the chance to go skiing I just want to ski, not screw around with switching skis and what not. This season I will make it a priority though!

Thanks for the suggestions guys!

I recall talking about skis with you at Loon...feel free to start a thread in here about skis or PM me with suggestions. I recall you like cruising and would like to get into more terrain, yeah?

trailboss,
Got the sandwich version at first, assumed :lol: it would be pretty close to RF version, however advice through numerous contacts put doubts in me, will be accepted @shop as payment towards next year's RF ski....due in 3-4weeks, which is supposed to be the unchanged version(in its skiing character) of the ski I DID demo last Feb... 8)

Those HEADS are nice skis...heard a lot of good things about them.

 

[riverc0il]

Good deal for someone who needs them. I'd be interested, but Ms. Trailboss would kill me if I had ANOTHER pair of skis :wink:

any skier who can't buy another pair of skis because of the Ms. is whipped. hate to say it TB, but a man has ta be able to increase the quivver size on a yearly basis!

OK, skis are sold...so we can continue the discussion on Stiffness and skis...

 

[bigbog]

ski stiffness.....

A definite relationship with stiffness and speed of a ski's response to pressure.
