Wow... haven't used them myself (these are touring skis aren't they?) but there are other Trab skis that are even lighter (the Race Aero)!
I guess this is due to the Air Canals described at the Ski Trab website? |

Going out to Geneva next weekend !amazed - so where's open?
Tignes obviously... Val Thorens opened last weekend and I also heard that Avoriaz may be opening at the weekends prior to their official opening... anyone know any more? |

Try getting one on each foot though... mind you, buoyancy in powder would be great... so long as you could swivel the bindings round... |
|
Those sound like good rules-of-thumb... so howabout the 125mm width of the almost bonkers Volant Spatula? Definitely not an easy carver! |

Mmm, someone else recommended the xplosiv... but I found a bunch of v.positive reviews of the Scream on the web, so picked them up today (brought my purchase forward to get the free flight offer sorted) and hope to be christening them in two weeks time (if it doesn't get warm in the Alps)!

Me neither so far... got chatting with the crew in the local ski shop this morning and one of the ladies (who tests for Volkl so knows a tip from a tail) rated them very highly. We half took one apart - you don't have to remove much for them to look more like a meccano crane kit than an item of footwear! Maybe the future of a ski boot is a bunch of carbon fibre struts in all the right places, and a waterproof, thermal sock.... B) |
