Salomon Lord Ski
MmmmmmBoring!

Ranked #18 - All Mountain Skis

I suppose every company needs to make a ski that can kinda go anywhere but does nothing really well. Solomon is leading the charge when it comes to ski innovation but this thing is at the back of the pack as far as I'm concerned.
I found that it's too soft to hold a really nice edge and at speed the tails were washing out on me. In thicker snow they kind of bog down. You might have fun with a really short pair in the trees because they feel pretty light but I always felt like they were "just kind of there" and got very little feedback from them.
Trading these in for some bbr's at the rental house was the best decision I've ever made.
Happy ripping!

I 100% agree with p-tex. Too soft, doesn't hold its edge and gets lost in powder. Gets really choppy at higher speeds. I've heard elsewhere that this is the same ski as the Lady, so not sure what that means re: ideal weight for the skier.
