I'm looking for a narrow edition to my quiver. And from a lot of review and forum trawling I think one of these two options may be the right choice:
- Fischer curv DTX (2021 - my price range)
- Head e.Rally (not sure how the models differ year to year since they changed from 'i' to 'e').
Current skis:
- Scott Slight 93 (2018)
- Bent Chetler 120 (2020)
My info:
180cm 72kg 25yo, buying in the UK.
Skiing since I was 4, qualified level 2 instructor in Japan (Scott's used for exams and teaching), season in France 2020 doing tech work and noticed a drop in my technical skiing. I'm hopefully heading to AUS next season to get lvl 3, but have another season in France coming up, so I'm looking for a piste performance ski that'll allow me to access that bit of extra umph and keep working on my technical ability.
Similarly to a teaching season, I'll mostly be skiing with people who don't ski at my level and so spend a lot of time on easier terrain and so I'd like the ski to be able to meander about and be able to relax a little at lesser speeds whilst also having the ability to exercise lots of turn shapes and rip it when I'm feeling it!
I hope there's not too many oxymoronic specifics I'm asking for
I've looked at and used high end skis (rossi hero elites) and whilst I think I can handle them, they're too demanding/heavy for all day skiing with some ripping and some relaxing.
If you can think of any other skis then please recommend away.
** I've also looked at dps cassiar 79 as they seem like my type of ski, but I can't find them for sale anywhere rn. I like the idea of simple construction, like the scotts' wood and carbon simplicity is just amazing to ski.
