SALOMONS/RACE PRIME GS

They are very similar to the Atomic skis described earlier. For some testers, they were the best in the group; they placed third on points. These are skis with enormous potential. Comments included: “The best skis in the group, in my opinion. They follow whatever line you plan. They do exactly what you ask. They initiate quickly and track the turns with great confidence. Lively in edge-to-edge transitions. Superb!” Another tester wrote: “Very dynamic – provided you know how to use them. If you do not, they are simply GS skis whose potential you will never tap. They charge like a T-34 tank. You can release the edge cleanly and attack the next turn. Powerful, but unforgiving.” We also heard: “One of the best skis in the group. They track well through the turns, while their well-judged stiffness allows effective race skiing.” Then came: “The best in the group, in my opinion. They run as if on rails, yet remain smooth and dynamic. They inspire confidence even at high speeds, both through the turns and when running straight.” Another comment read: “Confidence, precision and perfection – those are the first words that come to mind. I loved skiing them. Very stiff, but that was not a problem for me.” There was also an isolated dissenting voice: “These skis are too stiff and difficult for me. In free skiing, they are suitable only for fast, long turns and do not even feel exceptionally stable. They performed surprisingly well in the gates. You could feel their rebound and they changed edges quickly. Skis for strong, athletic racers.”
