Ski structure choice

[drew.sanderson]

In the photo are the structure options on a Montana. I am curious which structure people would pick for GS and which for Slalom for eastern, often warm ( if last season is any indicator ), racing. I will add a poll for fun but it only lets you add one poll. I am far more interested in hearing people's thoughts on their choices.

Best Answer: Take your skis to Mud, Sweat, and Gears in EVL and listen to them.

100% That is exactly where I am taking them but sometimes its hard to get the right person to talk to. I send everyone there.

In Austria, I've generally been given 5. Had them ground in Italy last season and got diagonals. Upon enquiring was told it was how they come from the Rossignol factory. In both cases, I deferred to local knowledge.

Yeh, diagonals work just fine, borderline great for highly edged skis *cough*SL*cough* in sloppy snow.

#11 - Whatever was on the ski from the factory

Funny..........a few years ago I had a pair of GS skis that were not tracking (gliding) well and I took them to Mud Sweat & Gear in EVL.........guess what they got faster! Totem Pole in Ludlow (Okemo) does a great job too.

Numero 5 is the best

Bring them over to the US Mid-Atlantic then. There will be plenty basebuilding dense manmade snow, rained-through 40F snow and sun-soaked 50F snow for ya.

Sexy AF when wet but not the quickest are always welcome
