Cheater GS Ski

Postby Marc » Thu Sep 26, 2019 1:15 pm

Can you recommend a "cheater" GS ski?

I'm interested in the Elan GSX Fusion with r 21m at 180 cm. I have the SLX with the same rail binding so that would make it easier to bring both pairs in one single ski bag. Or do you prefer Head WC Rebels i.Speed r18 at 180 (ie not the SS Speed)?

I own both skis (the WC i.Speeds and the Elan GSX Fusion). The i.Speeds are less stiff, easier to bend and have a tighter TR. I like that ski better.

I'd go for the Head. I know a few guys who bounce back and forth between the Speed and the RD GS depending on course sets and they love the ski's capability. The Fusion plate on the Elan makes it more of a performance carver than a race ski--not in the same league as the Head.

Thanks jbotti and HeluvaSkier for your answers. I'm going for the Head ski then.
