Doing any sensible testing of the real mountain performance of the skis is pretty much impossible in Southern Finland, so I have to rely on reading reviews and recommendations :( To narrow down the choices I asked advice from very helpful Ski Service folks while I picked my ski boots from fitting (the plastic had shrunken again). They recommended K2 Apache Coomba (181 cm) for my use case.

Based short study with google people seems to happy with their first experiences and the specs look promising, so Ski Service is pretty close on getting my money again. This time I’m going to mount my Diamir Titanals directly the skis and figure out later if I get new telemark skis…
