Surprisingly very good. Ever so slightly “Rockered”, unbelievably stable, great fun and very playful. Skiing is supposed to be about enjoying and interacting with the social and physical elements in the mountains and the Lord (or the female version the Lady’s) allow you to interact like a child in a playpen.

The Fury’s are big skis and kinda strong. Personally they do about as much for my skiing as a fish and chip shop is my first port of call after working most of my early life in Michelin starred restaurants.
The Fury’s sport a woodcore, a hefty-ish plate and are favoured by many an [...]
RS Cosworths or XR3i’s of the ski world - the Aeromax Ti’s are loud, brash, in-expensive but grippy, great fun and actually incredibly good value skis - they come in at under £300 all in.
This is a really good fun pair of skis. They provide lots of grip, a fast ride and plenty [...]
Lighter, a few quid less expensive and more sidecut give you a turnier, livelier initial feel and somewhat frisky pair of skis. Great for the sporty intermediate to advanced skier the Aero GT’s feature a foam core, lightweight and are very easy going but when pushed they don’t respond much more than squirm.They turn-in [...]
The Aero X enters its second year and they are still proving an excellent pair of prestige piste carvers. Having done a photoshoot on a pair of these exact skis for half a day earlier this past winter I set off with dread as I realised we were going to ski some off-piste [...]
Kids freestyle skis taking their design cues from the new freeski/freestyle Salomon range. Great looking, lighter weight, cut for the job and great for the younger generation looking for a decent pair of boards to tear up the park and pipe. ….plus that wide body shape is also perfect for all-terrain skiing [...]
The Czars are meaty, funky back-country skis with Salomon’s “Rockering” system. The tip is turned up to give you a shorted effective running length making the Czars easier to handle when not in the deep stuff plus the core is wood and feels ultra-stable at speed - as do their smaller siblings the [...]
Stunning, stunning, stunning. I adore these skis, they are unbelievably versatile, stable and possess great snow touch.
Sporting a full wood core with Titanium reinforcement, a LAB binding from Salomon’s Race Department plus the slalom race plate from sister company Atomic’s race division for one of the best all-mountain blasters ever.
I tested the Lab [...]

Snappier, livelier and more aggressive than the outgoing 3V. 2008 sees the 3V Z14 LAB picking up itself from a couple of years of stagnation and becoming a feisty, fiery and fun ski like the 3V’s were when they first cam into existence. The tip of the ski isn’t particularly wide [...]
With 78 mm underfoot you can cruise everywhere with the Tornado Ti’s. Perfect for the advanced skier, or expert who finds their more aggressive days drawing to an end.
As I absolutely adore the Tornado LAB I’d probably always plump for that, but this model will prove the more popular as they are easily [...]
