Dachstein Race Carve

Advantages: A amazing ski to many adavntages.A perfect ski for any ability.
Disadvantages: NONE

...Well I bought these ski's at Snow and Rock in Sheffield and when I first used them in the half pipe (carving,steeps,new school,race there good for all) they were really responsive and the stiffness add's to the excellent qualities. Then I took them to Val Thoren at Easter and one cruisy blue's and reds they were so responive and had such a great turn radius and on black runs and off piste they are so agile. The price is perfect I got mine for £200 and put some off my own bindings on. They are a wonderful ski for intermediates, and experts alike. Carving,speed,off piste,crusing and new school there great. Definatly worth considering for this sesaon.A must buy for any improving skiiers. David Baird... Read review

Advantages: Price, responsive and stable
Disadvantages: Not a ski for extremely high speed

...Just spent a day at Killington on my CMX Pro's. I was skiing the whole Mtn with friends and was very pleased with the snappy response of these boards. THey carved very nicely and were responsive on quick turns. Edge hold was very good on steeps and in icey areas. THis isn't a GS or racing ski, but for the advanced intermediate or low-level expert, a REAL nice board. I should say that price was my main issue here. These were the 2007 (last yrs) model that I picked up NEW with the integrated bindings for only $300!!! Haven't seen them anywhere for that and it was the last pair of 173cm on the rack. I fugred they weree easily worth that and am very pleased with them after putting thme in the snow for the first time.... Read review

Advantages: Extreme Performance!
Disadvantages: Demands to be worked hard, not for lazy cruising, pricey

...The Atomic Beta Rides fall into a new category (yes, another one!!) of skis for this year: "Free Ride". Free Rides are a cross between specialty powder skis and free carve skis. The shovel/tip end of the ski is very wide whilst the the waist is narrower than that of powder skis, giving them better performance on groomed runs. These skis will let you go and have fun all over the mountain. The Atomics are one of the very best of this bunch of skis. It lets you attack the off piste powder as well as go very fast down the groomers too. For specs, well it's bright orange, but that doesn't really affect much expect the looks you'll get in the line at the lifts!! It has Atomic's Power Channel technology which pre flexes the ski to give a quicker rsponse in short turns. It has a 17mm carving plate and titanium is used to reduce the weight... Read review
