I feel like they are an extension of my legs...I feel so comfortable sometimes I forget I have skis on. I use them on piste and off piste, in trees (My favourite playground) and I have recently been doing a bit of freestyle/park skiing - Jumping and rails.

I don't know much about the technical spec of them but they're not rockers and I have no intention of changing them - Well I might have to get a new pair of the same as they are getting a bit battered and bruised!


You'd be buying in Morzine I guess?


Not necessarily, I'd probably go for the same ski, newer model and buy online where there are many bargains to be had. I might have a mooch about at the very end of the season to see if there are any good sales here, you never know.

Try these...

Touring skis.
98mm underfoot
21m radius


Wholly unsuitable. But thanks.


Depends on what you want from a ski with an All Terrain Rocker I suppose...

Better stick with the piste skis.


Its a powder ski Bandit. I don't want a powder ski. And I don't want piste skis either. As well you know :twisted:





5/15 (5mm over 15cm) Rocker doesn't really make it a powder ski. The bend is too small and combined with moderate waist it's really an all-mountain ski. The tip will go over the mank, but I would want bigger rocker on a powder day at this width. They are also heavy. I generally find that K2 make heavy skis. My friend skis Obseths and while they are comparable to my JJ's in dimensions they feel like tanks.

There was someone here in Morzine selling a pair of Neos recently, they were 172's I think. I remember the email said hardly used and they were £300'ish. I'll try and dig out the email if you want.


They would have been 176's as they don't do them in 172.

£300 is about right for 2nd hand Neo's. See if you can find out what year and what graphics on the topsheet, muchos gracias.


Sorry Tony, I got it very wrong. They were 166's and they are 150 euro's. No idea what year and graphics but they have white salomon bindings?
