Did anybody tried these parabolic skies?
In our local shop the skis with binding cost about $600. Does it worth it?

Thanx.

Mr. Valeri, I tried them at Taos at Christmas this year. Unimpressive to
say the least. The next day I skied the Volant SuperKarve I and they were
magical. Try the Volants before you buy any of them.

We tried some of the Head Cyber skis at a local demo day. I had the 24X
and my husband tried the 28 something. Neither of us liked them. They
were slow to initiate turns-they had no energy. We were not impressed.
We normally ski Rossignols-Viper Z (the all mtn slalom) and the X (GS
ski). We love the Rossi's--I would surely try the Heads before I spent
$600 on them. Pam in NH

I tried them over the weekend and found it sluggish, if you plan on skiing
in the bumps and carving slow shorter turns then they're o.k. However, if
you're like me and prefer to cruise fast and carve big GS turns, then i
wouldn't recommend them because they're not stiff enough and unstable. Of
all the shaped skis i've tried (atomic, K2 four and Merlin, Rossi super
9.9) I would recommend the K2 Merlin or the Rossi 9.9.

You can be sure about one more trick with new technology, like plenty
that we have seen recently (Dual Tech, Plasma edge, etc). I have tried
those in a shop and they are decent skis but not for the price you say.
Nothing impressing really.
