The difference of skis  

The test of three types of skis on different snow conditions

Is there really a difference between different types of skis and if there is, which type of ski should I choose?

We picked out three different types of skis, with different dimensions, and tested them during some Spring days in different snow conditions.

The selected skis were:

The mornings offered hard and very well prepared slopes.

ATOMIC SL 12pb
The SL ski was a dream to ski on the hard and well prepared slopes. With agressive skiing you got a perfect contact with the snow, quick response and an increadible grip. The ski was perfect on both short and long turns.

ATOMIC METRON 10 ppl
The Metron ski worked well on these hard slopes. Not the same contact as the SL, but definitely good enough for having fun on these slopes. Works well with both short and long turns.

ATOMIC BLACKEYE
The Blackeye ski felt softer and it was harder to get a good grip on these hard slopes.
