Competition Slalom Skis 2006

Volkl SL Racing Race Stock
Sizes Available: 155, 160, 165
Sidecut: 116/64/99
Jans’ Assessment: Exceptionally powerful in a turn; yet easy to control at speed in a slalom course, the SL Racing has that traditional Volkl feel that gives the athlete the confidence he/she needs to make it to the top of the podium.


Atomic SL:11 Race Stock
Sizes Available: 165
Radius: 14m

Jans’ Assessment: Look out! Hurtling down the slalom course, here comes a B4 chassis with twin magnesium power channels, aerospeed topskin, titanium laminates and a World Cup race base. And Bode Miller is on top of them! With this ski, Atomic is aspiring to win their 11th consecutive men's World Cup overall championship.

Ski Magazine Assessment: As with the GS ski, it features Atomic's new race construction: a combination of the dual semi-cylindrical foam cores underfoot and a capped sandwich construction toward the tip and tail. The cap layer is metal, dimpled to reduce drag – less critical at slalom speeds, but cool to look at. An incredibly quick ski!




Rossignol WC 9S Race Stock

Sizes Available: 155, 165
Sidecut: 117/65/105

Jans’ Assessment: This ski's upgraded RK adjustable plate allows the skier to match his/her technique and strength to the ski by simply tuning the plate. The alloy in the new torsion box is extremely rigid for maximum power and precision.
Ski Magazine Assessment: The 9S only comes into its own at race speeds, offering some of the best high-speed stability of any ski in the test. This is a ski that stays glued to the snow for maximum glide and control.



Elan SLX Race Stock
Sizes Available: 155, 165
Sidecut: 112/66/102
Jans’ Assessment: Built in Slovenia where a dynamic race resurgence is under way, the SLX will show itself to the world this year as the new kid on the World Cup block. With the help of ski racing legend, Ingemar Stenmark, Elan is taking SL race ski design to a whole new level.

Ski Magazine Assessment: A great ski for slalom racing, but little else. If you are in the business of getting to the bottom of the slalom courses faster than anyone else, this is the ski for you!

Atomic ST:11
Sizes Available: 155, 11M
Sidecut:
Jans’ Assessment: The perfect balance of turning agility and forgiveness, due to a deeper sidecut and more compliant flex than the SL:11, makes this the ultimate weapon for citizen racers or diehard skiers who like to turn and burn.
