 Les Menuires 3 Valleys Reberty 2000
 DYNARSTAR 82 Providing more work for an experienced skier, these will be good off piste, feel slightly loose on thinner conditions and are in need of being tamed. I would not advise for integmidate skiers as they need a lot of work needed, but if you are in the game for some real training, these are your bad boys!  DYNERSTAR 82 A huge curve in one’s ability to ski better, is working with different kits, and not just easy skies. The Dynastar 82 will give you a harder run, inevitably improving your technique. So if you are seriously into skiing and improving your technique these are one for the list to work with.
Having a strong hold, good in soft lower Moguls, they glide comfortably over and ploughing through them. And in more dense snow these are much more stability with being that much wider. You can feel the tips and heals grounding turns, with the flxabity from the center allowing smoothe steady alterations in movement.  Photo Christopher Sims © Not a speed, more a crushing ski, so if you’re a bit of a speed freak these are great to take another perspective of the environment, I really enjoyed my pace with them. Great at regulating speed, so for an avid and passionate intermediate, or just an experienced skier who enjoys a steady pace these are a good option, but be prepared to put some work in to your day. Surprisingly I thrown these down quick carving in reasonable deeper but not thick snow, and we worked well as a team. For all you Ski Hire INTERSPORT SKI HIRE

 Rossignol hero LTD: The classic French ski Firstly, these skies truly deserve the HERO status, and within a run I was hooked, in love, crying… Where had they been all my ski life!! Not only were they just an incredible extension of my physical body, my skiing ability just felt as if it had instantly improved.  At Intersport I was advised by their expert ski advisers Nathen to take the shorter style, coming up to my chin. Generally my skies are about my height or just over, so this would be another difference in my performance.
The HERO Rossignol LTD ski is designed specifically for short carving on groomed piste conditions. So after a heavy snow fall 4 days before, and with the snow having time to lay with good grooming, Nathen at Intersport advised me to take the HERO out on a long awaited date. Rossignol HERO LTD are as clean cutting as a fresh blade, allowing short carving and semi circular cuts in the snow with ease. So traveling down hill was swift, focused, smooth and the ability to produced carving from short, to wider carving was equally superb!  One item I was very surprised with and the Rossignol HERO, was its ease and stability with moguls. At first I was unsure if this style would cope with moguls, they did, effortlessly, and I had a blissful day carving the piste and light modules as if I was, well a HERO !!! These have become my favourite model and ski for groomed pistes, and I will look to test them out on heavier conditions to see what their scope and ability is in fresher thicker snow. Im a very happy skier, and any donations for my New Ski Fun welcome. manicured nails! For all you Ski Hire INTERSPORT SKI HIRE

FISCHER THE CURVE With a firm hold on the ground, these skies really do take controlling and you need to team up with them, step up to their ferocious attitude as they take no prisoners. Once we made a plan, and they let me know they were the boss, and I was working on their terms, we got on pretty well and the mission began.  On harder and ice conditions I felt more secure with The CURVE, its carving is severe and deep. Not as flexible as the HERO, care is needed when carving and time to adjust to The CURV and its heavy nature. This is a ski for a more advanced skier who is willing to push their ability.
A serious ski, and powerful! The thicker core takes more strength to guide and it is great for more of a work out. An option I would use not only in certain conditions on piste, but also for a fuller leg and thigh strengthening. The necessity for a greater mental focal point with these was inspiring, as I said you need to work for them, as they are feeding information from the conditions to you like all skies, and you need to react shapely, quickly and attach power and resilience due to their stiff and heavyer design.  Photo Christopher Sims © I found at one point my entire body and mind had elevated to a position I hadn’t experienced before; totally serious, ferocious and 100% committed. Me and The CURVE were conquering this snow world as a duo. Sounds ridiculous I know, it’s all about having fun. But there is a serious nature to skiing, and knowing the conditions, the skis, having a strong technique are all about having more fun. With a stronger technique the fun increases immensely, as you embarque on a physical, emotional and sensual education, beginning to understand the environment and condition deeper, along with your own physical structure and ability as one advances. Awesome stuff trust me!!!
Narrow carving in design, im ‘dubbing’ this the ice carver, as it’s so good on hard conditions, and with shallow carving the stability is great. I would not throw these around in wide carving generally, they are capable of bucking you straight of the piest. The CURVE want, and will be shallow carving, even better, they just want to go in pretty much a straight line with I little left and right slicing, they just love this on ice, hard compact and groomed conditions. Any wide carving not suitable, and pushing your weight and thigh into the CURVE when stopping quicker is essential, or you may just be jack knifing over your self and them.  Orelle - Val Thorens: Photo Christopher Sims © On un groomed and mogul conditions these will throw you around, so keep a flexible lower position and bent knees to keep stable. If you aren’t in control of The CURVE they will throw you off like a bucking mule. Having said this, I thoroughly enjoyed my absolute focus point with them. Together we had a really epic mountan operation day, military style! If you are seriously looking to improve your skiing technique, and really understand how to work with hard and ice conditions; Fischer The CURVE are a schooling in this sport and art form. A few days after my run with these, I could see a massive advance in my technique, agility, confidence, and the understanding of my body, muscle and frame in contact with the condition on piste. If I had the choice, these would be in my collection of skies in my locker, and we would regularly be teaming up as a formidable duo. For all you Ski Hire INTERSPORT SKI HIRE |
