Replacement for Salomon X-Screams?
Looking to replace my 4-years old Salomon X-Screams (which I love) for
all-mountain skiing around Pacific Northwest (50% piste, 50% off). 50 YO advanced (not expert) athletic (but not aggressive) skier. How does their new line compare? Which would be the most similar ski from their current line? XW Tornado, Blast, or other? http://www.salomonski.com/us/overvie...activity=10132 Other comments, makes, recommendations? Thanks a lot! ~ M. |

Do you ski at Stevens? -- Mike Treseler |

Replacement for Salomon X-Screams?
The Salamon Scrambler "Hot" w/ the S910 bindings is basically the
modern equivilent of the old Scream Pilots. I just tried em out last weekend. MUY bueno. Oh, and I used to ski the Scream Pilots...Sucker for Salamon's ever since the days of the Force 9...damn I loved that ski. |

My stats are close to yours. When I traded my X-Screams for the Pocket Rockets (which have evolved into the Gun) it was such a huge step up that I still get a big grin when I think of those first few days. When I went to trails that had previously presented me with enough challenge that I felt proud to make it down without hurting myself, suddenly I was ripping with speed and grace. I say give 'em a try, you may never go back to mid-fat again. Chris |
