Salomon XW Sandstorm Ski Hire and Equipment Review

The ultimate oversized weapon for unlimited riders. Fat and fast, this weapon of choice rides with no limits, especially for speed. With massive sidecuts you can fly over any mountain that is before you. No obstacle can keep you from conquering them all!

Heaps of praise has been bestowed upon this ski from many a tester this season. A Freeride addict friend who would have sworn on his mother’‘s grave never to buy Salomon has shown remorse for his lack of foresight. The Sandstorm heads up the X-Wing range, they are big, bruising but light and stable super-cruisers. The thing with these mammoths is their side-cut, it is huge, very much in the way that the original Seth Pistols had a huge shape and so became versatile even for such large and wide skis, these rascals are coming in at 130/96/124, if you’‘re girlfriend measured that (in relative terms of course) you’‘d be running either for cover or medication! What surprised people who had tested this ski was the shear use-ability of them, they couldn’‘t get over how a 187cm ski could be turned so easily yet still provide all the stability necessary for hammering down the crude at 40-50mph. The overall verdict was “awesome dude!”
