Ellis Brigham 05/06 Ski Testers » Martin

		Name: Martin Age: 36 Height: 6ft Weight: 85k Number of years skiing: on & off 10 {mostly off} Ability level: ski most runs in my own time, comfortable on reds & less Favourite ski(s) of the week: Nordica SUV 8.1 = light, fun to ski in a short length, real easy to do short turns, this ski made me smile, did I mention it was fun. Rossi Bandit B2 & K2 Apache Recon = Both these skis made me enjoy using a longer ski & power through big sweeping turns on both good & heavy snow. Yet they were both great on tighter turns as well , they kinda go anywhere (within reason) & do just what you want them to. I thought I enjoyed the b2 slightly better but it`s hard to say why. Salomon Streetracer 8 was also a fave, similar to the SUV. Will sell itself as an all-mountain carve, turns on a sixpence, very easy to use, makes you feel as if you could ski. Great! Overall thoughts, on the test and the range: The range is huge with something for everyone. Getting to ski on the new range will help when it comes to selling them to customers & help get the staff to understand more. Head c220 & 260, Fischer RX8, Sal Thrusters & even K2 Seth Vicious, had to mention them.
