Looking for similar ski to Rossignol Quantum 808s
There was a period in my life where I owned a pair of "Rossignol Quantum
808s". They were white with weird black plastic tips (the "707s" where red and the "909s" were black). This was around 1986 or so. Does anyone remember this ski and can recommend a 2001-2003 ski that is similar? They were very easy to ski on and I could do pretty steep bumps without burning out my legs. They seemed to be really flexible and could turn really nice at very slow speeds. I believe they were a woman's ski which is fine for me since I have weenie leg muscles. I can parellel ski pretty good. I went on to Volkl all-terrain skiis and then to K2 Unlimiteds but they both were way to fast for me and I spent most of my time standing on the slope waiting for my leg muscles to stop burning. The only fun skiing I had after that was when I went back and borrowed my old 808s from the friend I had sold them to. I'm *thinking* since I only ski 5-9 times a year, have weenie legs, and I am 54 years old that I need a slow, tight turning ski. TIA John D |
