Ski like a World Champion – material wise that is not a problem with the latest skis of the category “Men Giant Slalom Race”. As the top level skis of all Carvers they offer unbelievable grip, sensational acceleration and perfect balance at top speed. Therefore these “top of the line carvers” are not made for just anybody. Fitness, power, technique and concentration are basic needs to control these “racers”. It is like with cars – a Formula1™ race car is no Opel Corsa. As a result only top notch skiers came to test those race skis at WST. Christian Mayer (international), “Kaiser” Franz Klammer, Austrian Ski Newcomer Marcel Hirscher, “Alpenmozart” Fritz Strobl and some other carefully selected people were testing the latest race carvers doing high speed downhill skiing and truly artistic stunts according to the well known WST system. But also high class hobby skier and “party animal” Peter Samselnig from T-Mobile or Rodeo Olympic Champion Wolfgang Linger got to test those stunning skis and everyone was really impressed: regarding the “race carvers“ the next season is going to be even faster than the years before!

 


Marcel Hirscher 
(ÖSV Skier) 
Those Race Carvers for the Giant Slalom are more demanding, but you experience 100% pleasure, which of course is absolutely great.

Fritz Strobl 
(Olympic Champion)
Ski fans are really going to see something else next season. For some of the new skis available you almost need a license.

Bernard Vajdic
(Slovenian skier) 
It is my first time to take part at the WST, it´s great fun and organization is just perfect. I am looking forward coming back next year.

The absolute world champion in the snow. This model is just made for high speed, quick changes of rhythm and race ability. No wonder that everyone, including former Olympic Champions Franz Klammer and Fritz Strobl loved that ski.

The perfect race ski – dynamic, flexible and fast. Every turn is done in a fast and easy way, the ski stays absolutely balanced and stable.

Opinion
Powerful and at top speed – that is the Ractiger´s appearance on the slope. Long turns are done easily on any slope conditions – this ski is kind of “burning” its track into the snow. A top notch speed ski for all advanced skiers who love skiing like the giant slalom pros. According to comedian and MD of the Porcia comedian theatre, Udo Kröll, this model is pure fun in the snow.

Radius: 18 m Short turn: 6,5
Side cut: 112-66-94 Edge grip: 7,6 Average: 37,3
Recommended Retail Price: € 699,95 incl binding Balance: 8,1

This is a high speed model ski, performing a carving style that leaves even the pros stunned. Amongst others, Olympic Champion Fritz Strobl and Heinz Auernig (Intersport Austria) loved this ski.

DYNASTAR

Recommended Retail Price: € 799,95 incl binding Balance: 7,6
General effort: 7,2
Opinion
The ultimate „weapon“for every skier looking for perfection doing long turns on especially hard and icy snow. This giant slalom model pairs the power of long swings with perfect grip. Andreas Linger and Downhill Star Hans Knauss simply loved this ski.

FISCHER 
RC4 Worldcup RC Pro
Data Detailed results Mark: Very good
Tested length: 180 cm Long turn: 7,5
Radius: 16 m Short turn: 7,0
Side cut: 112-66-96 Edge grip: 6,9 Average: 35,9
Recommended Retail Price: € 749,95 incl binding Balance: 7,2
General effort: 7,3
Opinion
That´s s ski for natural born winners, who love giant slalom skiing. They will definitely put on this ski with “Lochski” technology and World Cup treatment to its coating and rims. More performance due to less weight – the so called “Sandwich construction” with ABS on the side.

SALOMON 
Equipe 2V Powerline
Data Detailed results Mark: Very good
Tested length: 178 cm Long turn: 7,5
Radius: 18 m Short turn: 6,7
Side cut: 112-68-98 Edge grip: 7,1 Average: 35,8
Recommended Retail Price: € 749,95 incl. binding Balance: 7,5
General effort: 7,0
Opinion
New technologies in classic black and white - that is exactly the right ski for everyone who loves to compete. This model is extremely well balanced, provides the perfect ski/snow contact and accelerates nicely at the end of each swing. The best ski for giving self assurance and control even on very hard and icy slopes, which is also to the liking of Günter Messner (Intersport).

NORDICA 
Dobermann GS Pro XBI CT
Data Detailed results Mark: Very good
Tested length: 176 cm Long turn: 7,5
Radius: 18 m Short turn: 6,6
Side cut: 111-67-97 Edge grip: 7,2 Average: 35,2
Recommended Retail Price: € 799,95 incl binding Balance: 6,9
General effort: 7,0
Opinion
According to its name, the Dobermann Pro GS XBi is a powerful ski, ready to compete that will be loved by professional skiers, ski instructors as well as highly experienced amateurs. Our test guys simply loved the massive swings with top notch grip at minimum effort.

ROSSIGNOL 
Radical R9X Ti WC Os TPI2
Data Detailed results Mark: Good
Tested length: 180 cm Long turn: 7,0
Radius: 18,7 m Short turn: 6,4
Side cut: 124-80-112 Edge grip: 6,4 Average: 33,2
Recommended Retail Price: € 759,95 incl binding Balance: 6,8
General effort: 7,1
Opinion
For advanced skiers who love to make fast turns. The “oversize midriff” construction is identical to the World Cup ski. This model is the right ski for advanced skiers at high speed still providing full control.

Make a Match-Making with the WorldSkiTest testers and see their results
