Salomon Crossmax 10 vs Fischer RX8 FTi
Anyone have an opinion on the Salomon Crossmax 10 vs. the Fischer RX8 Fti?
I'm a long time expert skier from Wisconsin (Ski Patrol, College Racer, ski with the locals out west ...), Ski very hard mainly small to medium turns in the fall line, groomed, and some bumps. When I ski out west it is mainly Double Black or Black - the steeper the better. Basically ski fast and like to work the ski hard to get a lot of acceleration out of the turns. I am currently skiing on 205 Blizzard pro stock Slalom race skis and ski them everywhere (bumps, groomed, steeps, powder) but I want to go to the new shorter skis. My buddies on their new skis are now able to keep up with me and even ski faster. I'm 5'11, 175 lbs looking at a 175 cm length in both. I can get the Salomon's in the low $400 range but the Fischer's are $150 - $250 more. Let me know your thoughts on these or any other skis you think might be good. (I also have not been able to find a demo on these anywhere in Wisconsin) |
