Toned-down Goliath’s…..well a little. The 184 is simply awesome and for many an expert skier you will not really need to move up to the “Big Daddy” 191 without serious consideration after trying the Sluff in a 184.
I loved them, they are stable, urge you to push harder and faster, they are nimble, [...]
Don’t let the girly graphics fool you into thinking this is a wall-flower of a ski. The black Rose is movements top women’s ski, they come in three lengths up to 185 cm and have more in common with the awe-inspiring Thunders than a pair of fluffed-up recreational planks.
This ski has all the [...]
Rapid, silky smooth, turn on a dime and built to burn short turns on the hardest of snows. Great fun and I absolutely loved my time on the SC’s. They are very solid, agile in a carvy way, not in a light, skittish way - but if skied with precision and direction [...]
With Fischer you always expect engineering innovation and although introduced last season and featuring a refreshed graphic for 2008/09 the Watea 101 provide an excellent balance of flex, weight and strength through the I-Beam construction.

Almost as popular but slightly less rarer than the girls who pose on them the Jon Olsen Pro Models are extremely sought after - but am not sure whether it is as much for their graphics as their skiing attributes. The Jon Olsson Pro Model is a fantastic looking pair of skis. the graphic [...]
Salomon’s top park and pipe offer the Dumonts are new legendary amongst freestyle riders and synonymous as the elite of Salomon’s freestyle production.Also sporting the latest sidewall construction from Salomon (who were famed for their 20+ year stint at making monocoque skis) the Dumont is powerful, durable, has lots of pop and features a [...]
Very funky in real life and show-stoppers for Salomon at ISPO. One of the new breed of side-wall skis the MAi Tai is the women’s specific graphic that shares all it core and shaping from the very contemporary Suspect.On snow there is a surprising amount of stability from the wood core and good [...]
