Does anybody know what this model ski is best suited for? Salomon 9000EXP.

Thanks Dan

Dan
From the model number, this ski must be from the 95 year or earlier - so is best suited for the dustbin.

If you are looking for a ski, tell me what ability/skiing etc and i'll recommend something....

Dave,

Couldn't agree more mate! These Skis were good.....in 1993 when I was doing seasons!

Dan, I would use them as rock-hoppers at a push if in good condition or get some new ones. I love Dynastar myself but you can't go far wrong with any of the well known brands - Salomon, K2, Rossignol, Voykl (sp?) etc.

Cheers,

Jon

Guys, thanks for the replys. I was given these over the weekend. So thankfully didn't cost anything.

Bin here they come.

Dan

PS. Would it be worth keeping the bindings?

Dave T-S

Dan - bindings - bin em also. Probably an old Salomon S600 or earlier. The bindings are the only thing giving protection from knee injuries and having done a MCL three years ago I will NEVER ski on secondhand bindings. Your knees are worth more M8.

danny,
as jon said these were a 93 model, aimed at higher intermediates/experts. they were the most expensive salomon made at the time £350!!
im still skiing on the 8000exp
they will probably last me forever as i get slower every year

Ditch the skis, get a board!!!

Hey ALan!

Great ski in their time! Not quite up to the required sidecut at the mo though!

Nothing wrong with being an anorak!

Couldn't agree more re. bindings-they are vital! If in doubt, always set them to a lower din setting so they will release you in a bad fall.

I'm on Atomic Beta Race 10.22 GS race skis - the same as Herman Maier uses (except he's a bit more useful than me on them!!!).

Stiff as hell, great fun, a bit scary off piste!!
