Very nice Pabs, a trifle "establishment" for you, if I may be so bold as to pass comment )

What's wrong with the old ones?

H'mm, just have to re-think that, our respective definitions of "old" may not coincide. :wink:

They are now the oldest of my 5 pairs (c2005?!). I've always wanted a pair (well, actually the design slightly newer than that) but the deal was too good to say no to. A helmet cam could be interesting for my first time on them to document their attempt to kill me.

Here's my new skis. Hand made in Austria, designed by Kessler

total length………..1.55 m………….1.63 m…………….1.71 m
tip width…………….114 mm………..120 mm………….128 mm
waist width………...66 mm………….68 mm……………70 mm
tail width…………….101 mm……….107 mm…………..115 mm
side cut radius…….10.5 m.……….12.5 m.…………14.9 m



Two sheets of titanium alloy, decambered tips and tails, clothoid side cuts, low profile tips, and I would guess there's some carbon nad rubber in there too.

These are the 171, and 155. I didn't think there was enough difference to justify the 163 as well, but if I could only get one pair, that would be the best choice.

They carve up ice like it's hero snow :D






because I'm so inclined .....
