The ultimate Ski and Equipment thread.

So, after seeing this little nugget.

Decided to take a mental health ski day, in the name of science by comparing two more different types of skis. After a good storm rolled through, I had to hit the slopes.


My first set of Demo skis, Völkl Kendos, they performed very well and supported my earlier thoughts from last Sunday’s demo day.


Good conditions to try them out. It’s been years since I skied in a snow storm like today. Very cool and I actually was hitting runs that were free of previous tracks, and with 8-10” of Virgin snow.....SCORE!!!!



After a few hours, I swapped them out for a set of Rossignol..........again. Same but very different.



At the end of the day, I REALLY!!! Liked the SKY7 HD’s. They were very responsive, lite, easy to push through the moguls and stable on the flats, even after thrashing my legs on the first set. Yup, I really pushed my personal ability/boundaries trying to see what I could do with the skis.

I guess the plan worked since I am now walking around like a drunken sailor.

Cheers
