Men's Slalom ski reviews 2015


In this category, we perform a comparative review of the best competition-inspired ‘Slalom' skis on the market. These are not pure FIS racing skis, which are too demanding for leisure use, but are strongly performance-oriented, with genuine “Slalom” DNA. Agility, fast edge-to-edge transfer, turn precision, grip and rebound energy when exiting turns are among the key factors taken into consideration when reviewing these skis. Their accessibility to a non-competition public and their qualities in the context of day-to-day use are additional criteria.

They're perfect for athletic skiers with very good technical skills who're looking for performance above all, and who adore very lively and grippy skis for dynamic rides, especially in short turns.

The Blizzard skis’ performance surprised us this year. The SRC Racing Suspension is no exception to the rule as it was the "reviewers’ favourite" in this slalom category. In effect, the ski manages to combine excellent performance with remarkable accessibility. Highly recommended for a wide range of skiers (good to competitors) who want a real maxi performance slalom ski that can still be skied in less physical rides.

The Dynastar Omeglass Pro is the best performer in this ski review. In fact, it’s a bomb! A truly powerful and precise, racing-type slalom ski, with maximum grip and extreme liveliness for very good skiers to competitors for performance-driven rides.

Elan SLX Fusion review 2015

Men's skis 2015 > Slalom Best Accessibility/Performance!

This year, Elan confirms the quality of its product. Less specialised than the Omeglass, it’s an excellent slalom ski that combines performance and accessibility. The ski can be used every day on all kinds of terrain. The ProSkiLab team highly recommend it for medium to expert skiers who want to enjoy a very dynamic ski that doesn’t need much effort or technical skills.

The RC4 WC SC is a good typically-performing slalom ski that is particularly stable and stiff and was highly appreciated by some of the reviewers. Its stiffness make it a very good choice for heavier very good to competition-level skiers.

The Rossignol Hero Elite ST Ti is a ski designed for the pleasure of sport rather than pure performance. It’s a very good choice for intermediate to very good skiers who aim for performance without the need to control a thoroughbred. The Hero Elite will offer sensations galore... without requiring rock solid thighs.

The Head i SL is not sufficiently focused on performance to rank high in this category. It would probably have done far better in the High End Piste category. It remains an excellent ski, particularly enjoyable and smooth on soft snow, happy carving the slopes, and is best for intermediate to good skiers that want pleasure and accessibility before pure performance.
