Anyone who has a pair of 180cm long for sale? Went these as a rent in Trysil last year. Clearly the most fun skiing I went on. Stable and extremely tough but at the same time soft and gentle. Cannon!

One of the most beautiful all-round layers I've driven with. Lovely to jump with, carve along and drive off-piste with. A top rating from me.

A short hourglass slide with rough cut. Swing radius is around 13 m. The tested pair is 1.70, which corresponds to approximately 1.90 in "common" layers. Despite the extreme dimensions, the ski is easy and easy to control. This applies
of course, if you are reasonably well-behaved in timber technology. If you go straight from a pair of traditional skis, the transition can be a little shocking!
Weight distribution is quite important. If you get too far behind you do not get the max out of the skid when it comes to getting a little pressure on the huge board.
When you have spent a couple of days, you forget what you have under your feet and you almost think that you go as you always did. Until you switch back to your old skis ... A ride where you get tired and drag follows, then XTZ sits back in place again. Guaranteed. The ski actually has a wide range and works as well in the woods as in pure carving. The weight is very low and this in combination with the short length gives a ski that is a dream when it gets crowded and tight.
Plates under the bonds are a must. I myself drive with 12 mm, which is pretty good. If the bonds are low in itself, you should probably increase this measure a couple of millimeters.
negative:
The surface treatment. The rough surface causes snow to catch and at some temperatures it is possible to dig the log from time to time. The tight radius also makes it a bit difficult to burn,
but then I mean the BRUG, when it burns. You simply can not hold anything.
Anyway, it's a great skiing that's great to go on. See also the test in Skiing in autumn -97. They were lyrical.
