I'll be checking in on a regular basis ....... it just keeps me in the mood for skiing :thumbup:

Summer for me is also spent in the mountains well at least a couple of weeks, a bit of walking, sunshine and the beauty of the alps in summer. :thumbup:

Have said before, everyone should have min 2 pairs of skis (beauty of renting), piste skis should be <75mm and offspiste should be 100-110mm. Everything in-between fits into bracket of average because manufacturers are just making a compromise ski for mass market. Basically bit boring onpiste and bit narrow offpiste.


Well thats me average then :thumbup:

I'm sure some people buy skis because they look nice or are the right colour to go with their outfit etc, but some people in fact a lot of people I'd wager like to look as good as they can when they ski. Labels aren't everything, but to many people looking smart is important. To some, that will possibly include the skis they end up buying, which for me is not the key reason to buy skis.


You can look smart without labels :thumbup:

I don't know Tony if age of skis has anything to do with it, mine might be a few years old and second hand but I for one am very happy with them, just because they are old does not mean they do not proform on and off piste.
Same as Jackets and sallos people like a label and again if the skis ain't broke why change them. 8)

Ski's are very big business, I have never really listened to all the hype, it is all about price for me never paid more than a couple of hundred squid for a pair of skis.
Will these hyped skis make you a better skier I doubt it as well as an expensive pair of football boots won't make you a better footballer.
What I always find interesting is the people who spend 400/500 quid on a pair of skis are they brave enough to be open and honest on how the skis have proformed on snow and if they are worth the money. I doubt it . :wink:
Wann werden Sie :thumbup:
