Default Salomon X Wing Skis



Anyone know anything about these?

I hired some recently and they were great. I'm now trying to track down a
supplier, but they aren't even mentioned on Salomon's own website. Cant find
any suppliers for them, and the only place I've seen them was in the hire
shop but they didnj't have my sizr for sale.

Help please - I must get a pair of these incredible skis!!

X-wing? X-WING? Never heard of such a thing.

Might you mean X-Scream? Even there, you would need
to know the flavor. This "name" has been around for
a lot of years now and not always on the same skis.

I have, for instance, a pair of "X-Scream P" no
vibration dampener. Nothing extra, just a lovely
ski.

I also have a pair of "'Scream 1080's" which are
early twin-tip skis. IIRC, the earliest X-Screams
came with the silly putty vibration dampers on
tip and tail. I haven't seen these lately but I
have seen many "Pilot" versions with integral
bindings. And I could go on.

If you aren't convinced, Google on "Salomon x-wing"
and see what you get. There are several forums which
have user reviews of various skis available. If you
don't find your ski here, I'll bet it doesn't exist
and you should start looking at X-Screams.

if you google Salomon x-wing it 'recons to get "about 69,500" results I
suspect the most usefull might be on the first page

No, I mean definately X Wing. They were X Wing 08's.

I've had a pair of X Scream ski's for around 5 years.

I think maybe the X Wing could be the replacement for the X Scream when it
is released latest this year.

Are these x wings the brand designed for a woman by a woman for that special
time? If so maybe we're not talking about skis. Unless you mean X Scream
series and then you have to decide which ones.

I was wondering where the x scream series went, but I don't see the x wings
on the salomon website.
