You like it fast and prefer wider radii on groomed slopes. Competition isn't really your thing, but you love to race.
Medium to really long turns bring tears of joy to your eyes? Then this is your ski!
The Racetiger RC with a titanal band and a tailored, slightly wider carbon shovel - compared to last year’s model - impresses with its smoothness and balance as well as its turning ability. The RC, which is surprisingly easy to ski for experienced skiers, is the all-rounder among the race skis. It follows you to the limit in split seconds, but anytime you want to take it a little more gentle, for example at the end of the day, this ski is amazingly easy to turn at lower speeds too. Carving pleasure at its best!
Remarkable in terms of riding characteristics are the Tailored Carbon Tips which noticeably reduce the amount of force required, especially when entering the turn. The integrated carbon strips direct the power exactly to where it is needed. The titanal band provides the necessary smoothness and ensures agility as well as balanced drifting qualities.
In short, the new Racetiger has become sportier. The narrower center width compared to the previous year's model allows faster edge changes and a generally more dynamic skiing approach.
This is an ex demo ski that has been used at a couple of demo events. We will fully service and setup the skis and they come with a standard manufacturer warranty.
Ski Buyers Guide
Buying a pair of skis doesn't need to be a daunting experience. When buying a pair of skis, there are a few simple pieces of information that will help you to find your perfect match. With the introduction of carving skis and new technology, ski length is based more on the user’s weight than the tradition of using your height. Combine this with your ski level and your aspirations and this will help narrow your choice very quickly. Follow these simple steps:
STEP 1 - ABILITY
Firstly choose your current skiing level from the list below:
1 - Never skied before
2 - I can stop with a snowplough
3 - I am doing snowplough turns, and the odd blue run
4 - I am starting to parallel ski and onto blue runs
5 - I am venturing onto reds, and starting to make step turns
6 - I am getting confident on reds, and maybe doing the odd black
7 - I am comfortable skiing most black runs
8 - I am confortable on ice, and venturing off-piste
9 - I am skiing off-piste aggresively, and carving across all pistes
10 - I am a professional experienced ski instructor or racer
Here at The Skiers Lounge we then brake this down into 4 groups:

- INTERMEDIATE (Level 4-6)
- ADVANCED (Level 6-8)
- EXPERT (Level 8-9)
- PROFESSIONAL (Level 10)
STEP 2 - TERRAINNow you know your skier level, you can decide where you will mainly be using your new skis:
- - Groomed Piste Runs
- - All snow conditions (From ice to slush)
- - All mountain skiing conditions (piste and off-piste)
- - Off-piste skiing (powder)
- - Ski touring
STEP 3 - SKI LENGTH
For selecting the correct ski length, we take your ability, weight and where you will use the skis, and can calculate an approximate length:
STEP 3 - FINAL ADJUSTMENT FOR SKILL LEVELThe final calculation- For
NOVICE skiers, this is your recommended length. For
INTERMEDIATE and
ADVANCED skiers we recommend adding 5cm to the above measurement, and for
EXPERT and
PROFESSIONAL skiers you would normally add 10cm to the above length and a little more for freeride skis.
