Responsive, versatile & fun this ski is great for the intermediate skiers looking for a good solid ski that offers great precision & power thanks to the new XX-Chassis & full wood core Salomon are well known in the ski industry for producing solid dependable skis that are powerful & versatile yet still easy to ski on. For the 2015 season they do not disappoint. They have split their skis up into different categories to make things easier with their All mountain front side (piste orientated) skis falling into their X-series range, while the backside range becoming part of their Quest category. Still utilizing their popular X-Chassis on a number of skis in their X-series range this diagonal carbon reinforcement placed mid ski adds torsional stiffness for great edge grip & stability, they use this with RKS rocker stabilization to really lock in the tips of the ski & this offers really easy turn initiation. On their quest range they use many of these ideas from their piste side, yet incorporate the honeycomb tip to reduce the swing weight along with utility rocker for optimum flotation & control with excellent terrain absorption. The X-dive 80 Ti offers more power & precision than the standard X-drive 80 & is built on the same versatile platform, however on this ski they have added a carbon X-Chassis, a Woodcore & a double Ti laminate that pretty much supercharges this ski & offers increased stability, control & responsiveness.

It would be ideal for European skiers who don’t know what conditions are going to be thrown at them & they want a piste ski to progress on. Is this for me? Designed for the intermediate skiers looking to really progress their piste skiing & push their abilities, or this could easily be skied by the more advanced skier looking for a solid performing ski but wanting something a little more forgiving on the legs. If you will be spending 90% of your time on piste & yet want something with the width underfoot to cope if there is some new snow around then this would be a good option.
