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 [...]
Versatile sporty all-round carver. With a bright, race-inspired graphic and lively construction the RCS is ideal for general advanced skiing, red runs, blacks, some bumps etc. Nimble, agile and lively the RCS is not a one-trick wonder aimed at a thoroughbred racer, it is a race-aesthetic with all-mountain performance.
The manufacturer says [...]
Almost identical to the SX 12, you get the same profile but not the Power Bridge under th binding. If you prefer a lighter or easier flexing ski that is more forgiving in varied terrain then try the 11’s - if you enjoy a solid ride and tenacious contact with the hardest of [...]
Top-line skier-cross weapons. Fast, fun, direct, powerful and great in medium carves. Not as rapid edge-to-edge as the GS 12’s but very quick and very, very enjoyable.I skied the SX 12 in a variety of piste conditions, hard pack, slush, spring snow and they were fantastic - great for the advanced skier [...]
Tamer siblings to the Sl 12, a great ski. A touch more forgiving, not that the standard 12’s aren’t forgiving for the expert. Perhaps the advanced skier looking for their first pair of slalom skis would enjoy the 11’s or, if they are very light, then the 10’s.
Sharing a similar side-cut to [...]
Fantastic fun. I really love the Sl 12’s, they are lively without being unruly, powerful without being too domineering, in fact they are relatively easy to dominate for expert skiers and don’t demand the same amount of respect as a race pair of FIS skis. So great fun! Perfect for ski [...]
Almost identical to the GS 11 but somewhat tamer flex - the profiles are mirrored throughout the size range. For the advanced skier rather than expert the GS 10 is much more forgiving, as they will also prove for lighter skiers. Check out the review for the GS 11 for further details.
The [...]
Tamer than the 12’s so a touch more forgiving but you are still very much in expert territory here. Fractionally easier to carve, well neither ski is designed for skidding!, but the 11’s are very grippy, great on hard-pack and provide a fraction of versatility over the 12’s - plus they are less tiring [...]
