Salomon XW Tornado TI + Z12 Ski

If you’re in search of frontside dominance, chord-carving speed, and effortless turn-initiation, then look no further than the Salomon XW Tornado Ski with Salomon Z12 Bindings. The secrets to this Salomon ski's carving success are its Power Pad and Spaceframe construction. The Spaceframe directs your energy from the boot around onto the edge for power, and the elastomer Power Pad kills vibration for a smoother ride. While the Salomon XW Tornado skis love to lay down deep arcs, a generous shovel helps them crush crud and even float out the occasional powder run as well. The Z12 Ti bindings are light, yet secure, with an adjustable DIN of 4 through 12 and Salomon’s automatically adjusting toepiece wings. From ice, to groomers, to glop, these Salomon skis are the single-quiver solution to improving your skiing.

Bottom Line: Leave those chords in tatters.

So I blew my toe piece of last season. Pulled the rails right

So I blew my toe piece of last
season. Pulled the rails right over and also pulled the screws right out. Never seen a failure like that. Older tornados but still? Could
this be a warranty job?

Is there a big difference between the tornados and the furys?

Is there a big difference between the tornados and the furys? I am living and skiing in Switzerland for the last two years and have been using salomon o8 street racers which are fine on groomed piste but....ski mostly red runs and would like a ski a little more adaptable as conditions change and explore a bit of off piste areas....

The biggest difference between the Tornado and the Fury is the waist, the Fury has an 85mm waist to the Tornado's 79mm waist. I've used both skis and they are both solid in the powder and smooth and fast on the groomers. If you're going to mostly in the powder then go with the Fury, it has a little more float. If you're going to be mostly on-piste then stick with the Tornado, it cuts a turner a little faster. Both solid skis, just depends where you're going to be the most.

Please recommend a ski length for a 40 year old athletic male

Please recommend a ski length for a 40 year old athletic male that makes tight turns. I am mainly ski in the Midwest. I am 5'8" 160 lbs that is very active year round. Please advise if I need the 166 or 173

I'd say 166 would be fine for midwestern tight turn skiing at your height and weight.
