A real race ski purely for women. With individual graphics, a tailored balance spot for women and a full-on race plate the Course Pro is a seriously quick and technical pair of skis for women who know how to drive a long radius turn.
It is great to see that Dynastar have made [...]

Fabulous. Whilst the pure FIS-WC ski is known as a handful, the retail version, the Omeglass World Cup is an excellent performer. Even though the Omeglass hasn’t appeared to change too much over the years the performance has always improved.
This newer model seems more direct than the outgoing Omeglass. As is [...]

A serious pair of GS rockets for the club racer, ski instructor or speed freak. With a 25 m radius for girls or 27 for men this is a FIS reg ski with the performance one would expect. Sidewall construction, metal race plate, two choices of bindings, a 192 length for the competitive [...]
Blizzard manufacture superb race skis, they are very popular over in Austria and more of the resorts in the eastern Alps - here in France we don’t see too many at the moment but the SL Magnesium has all the characteristics of a true FIS race ski.
Full-sandwich wood and composite construction, aggressive side-cut to [...]

With a light-weight tip to [...]
Hmmmm, tasty. Eyeing up the racers feast that is the new GS Loch ski from Fischer is not like being hungry and desiring some pie-filler. No the WC GS Loch (or “hole” in English) is to a ski racer what a three-starred Michelin restaurant is to the gastronaut. This is [...]

Gorgeous, how can the expert skier or racer not fall in love with the WC SL from Fischer. They are very much a one trick, specialist thoroughbred but that is why they are such good fun, provide huge feedback, control and liveliness. Riding a pair of the WC SL’s is how one [...]
