Damaged skis, hurt feelings
Greetings fellow snowmuffins!
I had a bad encounter with some pebbles last winter on an off-piste side lane. According to a local expert, it could be saved, but it's not really worth it. I thought I would repair it for my local runs, because of the memories and don't want to junk a ski that still has a few runs left in it.
It is a Salomon 3V Race Powerline, a 2013 model I think. I bought it used 6 years ago.
Do you think it is worth it from your experience?
I would buy another used one, a Salomon Addikt Pro (2024) or Salomon S/Race SL 10 (2025) from a dealer.
My old Salomon was a stable ski, can do some carving-like moves on the blue runs with my intermediate skills, but it could also do some energetic short turns. It had a good grip.
According to internet science the first one is more like a carving ski, while the second one is closer to my old Salomon. Do you think my choice of skis matches these attributes? Any experience with these?
Thanks!
