Salomon XW Hurricane Skis + Z10 Bindings 2009: The Salomon XW Hurricane skis are all-terrain, all-condition, max performance sticks. They have an over-shaped sidecut for control and speed when you’re laying it lively on the groomers. The composite foam core damps vibrations to keep the ride smooth yet remains reactive for excellent snow feel and control. Titanium reinforcement layer amps up power transmission without adding additional weight. The skis are completed with thermoplastic/elastomer Pulse Pads, placed over the edges absorb vibrations, resulting in a smooth ride with consistent ski-to-snow contact. And you thought your IT guy was techy.

P-tex 2000 base slides well over snow, absorbs wax and resists abrasion.
The Monocoque construction implements a single-layer cap design for excellent response and maneuverability.
Smartrak Prolink ski/binding interface provides a high degree of tip-to-tail edge control, letting you weave through turns with ultimate control.
Z-Concept lightweight integrated bindings provide enhanced energy transmission for heightened ski responsiveness. Z10 bindings automatically adjust height and width at critical boot contact points, resulting in superior fit, snow feel and control.

Comments about Salomon XW Hurricane Skis + Z10 Bindings 2009:

I bought my 172 cm Hurricanes last Spring, so they must be 2008 Hurricanes. I skied them for 3 days in mid-May'08 in Blackcomb and I had to learn how to ski such wide skis. (It was the first time ever I skied wide skis.) I made a point of learning and it paid off. This time I just returned from Snowmass (6 days) and Vail (3 days). Conditions were Eastern (surprise). Very little powder. No fresh snowfall. Some soft snow in glades and north-facing steeps, but mostly the hardpack and also some frozen crud. These are not the best conditions for Hurricanes. Nevertheless, I ran my 172 cm Hurricanes through steeps (Hanging Valley Wall, Aspen Highland Bowl, Steep-And-Deep in Vail, glades, moguls, and groomers). The verdict: superb skis for soft conditions. Good in moguls, except when the moguls are very closely spaced. Very good in steeps. Superb among closely spaced trees (and I do mean "closely spaced"). Will carve on a groomer, if the groomer is reasonably soft. These skis will not hold the edge on solid ice. Recommendation: Hurricanes are fantastic for Western type of skiing. For the Eastern sheer ice I would rather recommend Nordica HellCat or Volkl TigerShark, which probably are not that good in the soft Western snow. About myself: 52 yr young, 172 cm tall, 65 kg. I am an advanced skier: moguls, steeps, and trees. I only use groomers to get to my favorite terrain. Conclusion: I highly recommend Hurricanes as advanced all-mountain skis for soft conditions. Very forgiving and easy to use. But do not take them to solid ice.
