Log in to snowHeads to make it MUCH better! Registration's totally free, of course, and makes snowHeads easier to use and to understand, gives better searching, filtering etc. as well as access to 'members only' forums, discounts and deals that U don't even know exist as a 'guest' user. (btw. 50,000+ snowHeads already know all this, making snowHeads the biggest, most active community of snow-heads in the UK, so you'll be in good company)..... When you register, you get our free weekly(-ish) snow report by email. It's rather good and not made up by tourist offices (or people that love the tourist office and want to marry it either)... We don't share your email address with anyone and we never send out any of those cheesy 'message from our partners' emails either. Anyway, snowHeads really is MUCH better when you're logged in - not least because you get to post your own messages complaining about things that annoy you like perhaps this banner which, incidentally, disappears when you log in :-)

There have been some interviews over the last few weeks that hinted that this was going to happen, the new skis are longer too.

Glad I didn't bother buying 35m GS skis.

"Maximum width under binding: < 65 mm"

Odd when 65mm was a minimum width underfoot previously. Typo?

 Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

No, female WC skis are 5cm shorter still.

hmmm i stand corrected, I thought womens current spec was 188 30R

 You know it makes sense.

@skimottaret, it's min 188/30 for WC (so 183+ for FIS girls with the 5cm tolerance) so technically FIS boys (not WC) could ski the ladies WC version. But the WC men are on 193 minimum.

@moseyp, gotchya thanks ! thats what I was getting at... I used to have some Head Womens WC 25R 183 ( I think) that I really liked but felt a turnier ski would be better so went with Masters Heros. Could be some of the better ET guys may use the current womens skis as they will be available and still made.

But on topic I think it will make watching GS racing on the steep courses better for me, hated the whole course stivot races as per the vid links.. the odd tactical drift is great but not every turn for me makes better viewing...

@rjs, @moseyp, it is the SL underfoot width I'd been thinking of (actually => 63mm) and surprised to see the GS spec'd width underfoot is a max.
