Soft Bros a quick review!
I just finished my second day in Val gardena Italy on the soft Bros. First impression, tough on hard packed ice, but then again I am not used to wide boards yet (my widest boards prior were 75 mm). But the second I got into some softer/ crud type snow they came completely alive. I have never ridden skis that felt so smooth on such varient conditions. After skiing on them for the first day, I felt much more comfortable on them.
I have never had a pair of skis come from the manufacturer so sharp, and only my race skis perform so well on ice.
Yes they suck wax into the base. I waxed them 3 times prior to leaving, and they look dry in spots after day 2. I plan to find a place to get a coat of wax thrown on.
As I was heading back to the hotel after the first day an Italian looked at the bros gave me a thumbs up and sat (thick italian accent) FAT BOYZ! (/thick italian accent)
Well i am paying for the internet by the 10 minutes, so i better roll and check my email.
chiao.
