Salomon Lord Ski

Ruling off-piste and on, Salomon’s Lord Ski collects taxes in the form of top-to-bottom runs everywhere from the morning cords to the deeps in the mountains nooks and crannies. And the coffers are full. The Lord’s full wood core lays down firm justice with smooth rebound and control, while the Edgy Monocoque construction increases torsional rigidity and cuts weight. Salomon gave the Lord a semi-twin tail for greater control while your railing, but the raised tail still loves riding switch. This all-mountain ski can spell versatility five different ways.

Bottom Line: When the Lord Ski isn’t skiing beside you, it carries you.

Arc em tough

This is a quick and powerful ski. It RAILS on the hardpack. My ski of choice for raiding the courderoy at Snowbasin and corn snow harvesting from the helicopter. If you live somewhere with a bit more hardpack than powder skiing the Lord is a ski that would be perfect as a do it all performer.

Spencer,
How would you compare these to my Volkl Mantra's, it's my third season on them but looking for something different to try? Would like a little more sidecut but worried about giving up the mantra edge hold when its firm pack. My other ski is an Obsethed which I lOVE but the weight of the ski on long chair rides leaves my left knee crying halfway through the day. So I still want a narrower, lighter ski for variety. Any thoughts?

Hey.

I am looking at buying my first set of ski's and have been drawn to the Lords owing to all the good reviews I have read. I am 5ft11 and weigh 87Kg.

I want a ski that will be used 70% on the piste (groomers, hard pack) and 30% off piste or in the park.

I was looking at the K2 Extreme as an alternative and would be very grateful for peoples opinion of which ski I should go for.

Also what length would be a good option?

Can you give a little more background on you ability level? does not sound like it will be your first day on skis... but just want to check. I think you could go as big as the 185.

I have not skied the extremes, but I'm a big fan of the Lord for exactly what you describe. They straight up rip and will handle any abuse you can think of.

Pin your ears back and dig your spurs in!

I was recommended this ski by a Salomon subrep, and it was the best ski purchase I've made in a while.

I'm 5'10" 185-190 and pack a little junk in the trunk. I like to think I can ski to the level of my iPod soundtrack, which sometimes leaves me re-enacting "Breakin' 2: Electric Boogaloo"-style headspins. Fortunately, these girls can channel what I'm dishing out and put it to the mountain. The rocker tip charges through chop and crud, like a Miami Goldigger at the Versace store. There is enough float in the shovel and waist to get through a secret powder stash without jeopardizing your return trip to the front side of the mountain.

I use this as my everyday/it snowed a few days ago ski (I-70 resorts in CO) with a thick-in-the-hips Gotamas for the Dumpzilla sessions.

They ski fast, hold an edge when carving, and suck up the mountain like Courtney Love on Day 3 of partying with the Medellin Cartel. Sizing up is OK, as the camber/rocker set up, and the twin tip will give more than enough stability and a little bigger length.

My suggestion is get 'em, load up your iPod with the soundtrack from TGR's Re:Session, and pack an extra pair of Pampers, 'cause you might just find yourself hucking someplace that you have never hucked before. Necessitating the need of the later.

same but better

the Lord comes back this year with cooler graphics. the other change is that its made in Austria now, which gives it a slightly different feel, i think it stiffer torsionally.

actually, the Lord is now build in Austria but with the same mold than last year. There's no change in the structure of the ski besides the addition of the Edge Armor. The Edge Armor is a polyethylene fiber string which link the two edges of the ski and as a benefit provides 25% less edge depression and 10% less edge wrenching. The noticeable added stiffness torsionally that describes Jamey is the result of this technical addition.

Awesome skis, just baby them

By:
January 31, 2010

These skis do anything you want, just watch out for the soft top sheet. I'm 5'10'' 165lbs and ski the east coast, sticking mainly to the trees where these things dominate. On the groomers they take off too. They love the bumps too, I can't say enough good about how these things handle. My gripe is the soft top sheet that's already been torn into hardly in the first season with them.

Salomon Lord vs Line Prophet 90?? I ski Obsethed's and Mantra's

Salomon Lord vs Line Prophet 90?? I ski Obsethed's and Mantra's everywhere including pounding them through a lot of bumps, I ski very hard and extremely quick for using such wide skis. Looking for something narrower and quicker to make my 38 year old knees last longer without giving up too many of my other skis great qualities. Any thoughts?? New Salomon Tornado Ti's, Prophet 90 or Flite's, Lord's, Bridges, Rossi stuff, ???? Any help greatly appreciated.

Prophet 90 would be the right choice. It is quick, strong and stable at higher speeds and performs on hard snow, in the bumps and powder.

It's a fun that's not so funny to fun with sometimes.

By:
January 12, 2010

I'm on the 2009s, 177, and I'm 6', 210 lbs.

These things pop back and forth like it's going out of style. The swing weight is practically non-existant in trees and bumps. On hardpack I feel like I'm on a dedicated carver, and in the poweder I feel (_almost_) like I'm on a big mountain ski. If you're on the east coast you really can't go wrong here, and they're damned good in almost everything out west too.

It's tough to say anything bad about these things. I suppose that the rocker probably isn't exaggerated enough for really, really deep stuff, but they're really not intended for that anyway. You'll have no trouble powering through mere mortal powder runs (and crud) though.

On a more depressing note, I think that the 2' rock divot I put in my right plank last week has become self-aware. It appears to be growing. Crap.

Head Monsters, Line Prophets & Apache Recons. Can't really go wrong there either, though the recon felt a little too heavy for me.

The Lord edged 'em all out.

I currently ski on classic Salomon Pocket Rocket 175 length - love them to bits but they are getting old. Question: What length Lord should I go for? I am strong skiier 5'10" tall and weigh 187 pounds. I am thinking 177's - would 185's be too long?

Ozboy--I'm your same size, like to push it hard and these skis are the answer to your issue. The rocker tip charges through crud, like a Miami Goldigger at the Versace store; nothing will get in your way.

I use this as the everyday/it snowed a few days ago ski (I-70 resorts in CO) with a thick-in-the-hips Gotamas for the Dumpzilla sessions.

They ski fast, hold an edge when carving, and suck up the mountain like Courtney Love on Day 3 of partying with the Medellin Cartel.

My suggestion is get 'em in 185cm, load up your iPod with the soundtrack from TGR's Re:Session, and pack an extra pair of Pampers, 'cause you might just find yourself hucking someplace that you have never hucked before.

I think the 177 would be the way to go. the lords have a little more side cut than the pockets, so if u like to ski fast the 185 would be good too. they are quite a bit stiffer than the pockets so I think you'd like the 177 better. you'll love these things!

I got the last years style Lords. love the ski's, sharpening the edges makes for a stronger cut through hardpack, and doesnt affect powder skiing much at all. i mounted them with marker griffon bindings and i have no complaints. great all around ski, especially for crudy days. On a perfect powder day i would recomend a fatter ski, don't use the lords, they are just too skinny for actual powder. but as i said..great over all ski!

They probably won't give you a package deal on the bindings and skis, but I am certain that they have them on the site. Look around for them, if those are the ones you want. I personally don't like Salomon bindings much. They also won't mount them, so you would have to take them to a local shop.

Go for the 185cm skis. The length will give you stability, and with your size won't be a problem to handle.

Lord of the Skis

By:
October 18, 2009

I have last year's (2008-09) model, skied on them all winter and cannot find one thing to complain about. Stable on groomers (minimal chattering), able to dig your tips in the bumps, floats well enough for my needs on powder with the 87mm underfoot waist, and the raised tail tip makes riding and landing switch in the park a piece of cake, and it also has more all-mountain and all-condition control than a regular twin-tip ski. I paired my 177cm Lords with the Marker Griffon Binding, and I have never skied a better setup in my life. If you are looking for a ski that can do everything, this is the best you will find.
