Madshus go soft?
Went riding with a friend yesterday and we got on the subject of Madshus
skis. He had been sponsered by Madshus for several years and said given the choice he would go with Fischer because he found the Madshus to go soft after two years. Is this known to be somewhat true or is this merely his personal opinion? J -- Justin F. Knotzke http://www.shampoo.ca pubkey: http://www.shampoo.ca/jknotzke.pub |

Madshus go soft?
I don't know about Madshus going soft, but my Madshus Hypersonic C3 racing
waxless classic skis weigh a ton. Should have went with Fischer's racing waxless classic ski "Justin F. Knotzke" wrote in message ...

Madshus go soft?
My experience with Madshus is that they tend to be soft to begin with.
Also, the bases are very sensitive to heat, so they're easy to burn. I don't mind the first problem - I just bought stiffer skis. I do mind the second problem, but have learned to work around it. I probably put less than 300km a year on my skis, so at that rate it'd be tough for me to wear them out. However, since your friend is sponsored by Madshus, he undoubtedly puts more on them, and would have a better idea. I'll stay with Madshus because I really like the way they feel and respond. Also, I've had excellent dealings with them through my local ski shop (Greg Christies's), and Norway Nordic in Montreal - both good places. Tim From: "Justin F.

I have heard more experienced skiers talk about waxing different models in their quivers differently. Some cores absorb heat better than others. some bases seem to less in contact with the bulk heat sinking properties of the others. Just have to wax differently. |
