Head Carve C7

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

...of layers of different materials squashed together. The base is made of plastic composite and has a steel edge. The steel edge provides a sharp edge on which the turns are made and also a heck of a lot more resilience to damage. The top layer of the board is fibreglass, which is light and durable. Sandwiched in-between the board is the most important middle layer, which is made of wood. Wooden cores provide more flexibility in the board than any other material.

My friends have broken... Read review

Advantages: Ease of turning, handling, style, following.
Disadvantages: None I can think of.

...I go to Sandown ski club ever week, and I always try to get the Salomon X-Screams. They are incredibly easy to turn, have a nice carving action, and are probably one of the best skis around. They have a huge free-ride following, and are used by beginners and experts alike. They are the skis by which all others are judged. The newer X-screams have the Prolink arms 'to guarantee ski/snow contact'. Wether it actually works is another matter... but it sounds and looks cool! So basically, these skis will suit anyone, especially those who are looking to improve their turning and confidence, and want to learn how to carve easily. Excellent skis!... Read review
