New kit for this year

Had Atomic and Elans in the past that were a lot easier to ski on...and cheaper!....maybe its time for some serious lessons!.
Ill try my luck in the forums trying to sell them there.

good idea, for most of us, at pretty much any level, money spent on lessons or coaching is always better for your technique than money on skis.

popular ski, I shouldn't think you'll struggle to sell them,

Absolutely - I can't emphasise the importance of having a good number of lessons and the occasional refresher.

I'd have called them an intermediate ski as well, but havent been on them myself to give a proper opinion!! I know someone who has them, in 181 i think. Says they are good but really soft so not good on packed piste. Not bad in the powder though apparently!

I demo'd the Punisher which is a twin tip version of the Mission and loved it.

It is an intermediate ski but I actually found it quite forgiving. I suppose it depends upon your style.

New kit brought this year, new boots brought in resort, new HH
jacket as I left wax in the pocket of my old favorite and washed it and new gloves so quite an expensive year.

New sallos turned up today from the US. Absolutely mint they are, top drawer, great quality...............excpet they sent the wrong size :evil:
I ordered medium and they sent large, and when I emailed them, they said they are out of stock of medium now :twisted:

So they are going back to the US free of charge, and they are sending me an alternative more expensive pair by the same manufacturer with a £50 dollar refund :wink:
