... Has anyone skiied these?

I found them to be unstable at high speeds. Nothing another 10cm of length wouldn't cure but they don't make skis that long any more. I would imagine would have the same problems on the XR if you like speed and are about the same size as me (6'2" - 210lbs.) snoig |

Hi Wombat
Has anyone skiied these? I know they are biased towards on-piste but I'm also wondering how they would do off-piste? my girlfriend skies an Axis (~165cm) for alpine touring. I tried it for one day. Nice to ski (really a girls ski), but to my opinion (and of course not ot the opion of my girlfriend) to heavy for real touring. Florian |

I have a pair of XR. They are very good on piste especially hard pack and
ice. Unfortunately, they are not as good off-piste. The K2 Axis XT would be better. "Sven Golly" wrote in message ...

They are completely different skis. As are the Axis XP and XT. -- Sven Golly Trolling as usual Remove the _ to reply |
