One of the things not too many people other than those connected to ski racing at the very top levels realize is that there are race skis, good race skis and podium winning race skis. And for most racers , (even at USST level!) getting the top level skis can be virtually impossible. And the time difference between good and great skis is significant.
The great news for those of us who don’t normally have the connections (and financing!) to get their hands on these unobtanium skis is that now with Augment we mere mortals have access to race skis at these top levels PLUS we can get them in a choice of flexes to match our personal needs!
This is a HUGE development that gives all Masters/USSA/FIS/ club racers the opportunity to get real WC quality skis tailored to meet OUR personal requirements/ age/ fitness rather than just having to take what we can get from the race ski racks and hope they work.
This level of personal fitting cannot be underestimated!
And I am very pleased to be able to announce that this season ScotsSkier will be racing on Augment skis from Augment Skis North America augmentskisna.com as a brand ambassador.
Many of you will know that I tested and reviewed Augment race skis at the end of last season and also raced on them at Masters Nationals and was hugely impressed by the performance and quality. I have been fortunate enough to be able to test all the major brands and in the past have normally raced each discipline on a different brand in order to get what worked best for me. So it took some thought before I made this decision to go with Augment across all 4 disciplines. However based on the great performance, speed and top quality of Augment skis, plus the ability to select them by flex to what works for me, I am confident - and very excited! - that this is a great opportunity for me to further improve my race results. And the support from the team at Augment skis NA has been outstanding. So, check them out, or if you are around Tahoe, i will do my best to let you test one of my pairs. This is the closest most of us will ever get to a real WC quality race ski.
