Curves and power, elegance
and beauty come together in the realm of the high performance and
scorchingly fast Ladies Race models. To come straight to the point:
edge control, ice-grip, acceleration and running smoothness. Breath
and strength robbing to the non-athletic, but utterly breathtaking
when our exclusive female testers, queens of the skiing world,
performed on these slalom carvers. In addition the skis themselves
can easily stand up to the men’s’ models in terms of pure raciness
and aggression. Even so, our testers’ answer to these marvellous
objects of cumulative skiing artistry was a relaxed smile on their
lips!
An outstanding combination –
at the test-bench the strongest slalom carvers available in retail.
Without a doubt the sportiest tools of the ladies Alpine world
today. The test squad, equally competent and enchanting is a who’s
who of the alpine slalom world of yesterday and today: Marlies
Schild, Urska Hrovat, Ingrid Salvenmoser, Elfi Eder, Miss Skier
Cross Karin Hutary, Mogel Queen Margarita Marbler, Nicola
Spiess-Werdenigg, pupils of the Ski-Hotelfachschule (Ski/Hotel
Vocational School) in Bad Hofgastein and, for the first time,
immediately following her departure from the alpine ski circus, a
dedicated tester – Alexandra Meissnitzer.

In every respect an exciting and exceptional ski! Not one but three
highest scores were given to the super sporty Elan: the only ski
amongst the ladies slalom skis to receive above 8 on short turns.
The winner also on muscular strain and a winner with its superior
design! Not to be forgotten – the best price amongst the racing
tools! Former slalom star Urska Hrovat praised it as the best thing
since sliced bread! And rightly so, we think!

Anyone looking for an altogether strong ski is aiming right on

Nice results for the Atomic slalom ski! Austria’s

Erharter were both fascinated by the Atomic, the test team merely
held back a little on muscular strain hence denying it a place
amongst the top three!

The Fischer RC4 – a well developed sporty ski

was full of praise, others in the test team were not really wholly
convinced! Nevertheless, result: ‘very good’!
