Demo’‘d this ski at Golden, British Columbia last February. They are great fun and worked well for me. I plan on buying a set before the snow flies this year.

I skied them last year and enjoyed the heck out of them. Used them for adult beer league and did just as well as skiing my Volkle’‘s or my Slalom Rossi’‘s. Much more fun than regular race skis and turned a lot of heads asking what they were all about. Skied them in the Spring at Lake Tahoe and they were awesome on the steeps.

I have one pair of these, used it for 7 days at the end of last season in Baqueira, on piste. The snow wasn’‘t in it’‘s best shape, to say the least. Anyway and nevertheless, they’‘re great with the short arms, very good for slalom and for carving. Also very stable, they behave very well on any snow condition and they’‘re very easy and funny to drive. With the long arms they become too tuff, which in fact it’‘s the idea of it, so no big surprise. As many, I prefer the short arms. A "small detail" and part of the explanation of its behaviour is the fact that with the mutix one can drive a shorter lenght. I’‘m 184cm tall, 89 Kg, and my mutix are 165cm. Changing arms is an easy task, I did it on piste, near the lockers, just a bolt for each arm. Last but not the least, they’‘re expensive, and time will tell how long will the arms remain in its places, as fix as they need to. Eduardo, Lisbon, Advanced Skier, 5/6 years, 10/15 days per season.

Mutix: Cutting edge innovation from Rossignol. Mutix is ingenious and easy to use. Mutix technology allows the skier to modify the behaviour of the ski by installing the short radius arms for short radius turns and the long radius arms for long radius turns. The two arm lengths distinctly alter the skis personality. “With this ski you get it all. It’‘s surprisingly powerful in long turns, surprisingly solid and holds the road like crazy. When you kick it into slalom radius hold on! This ski is snappy and super precise.

Hmmm, interesting, not bad at all. Not amazing if you’‘re used to race skis but probably amazing if you’‘re not. The Mutix are interesting skis and although almost reinventing Salomon’‘s fabled Prolink system they have added a twist and it does work, noticeably when changing from the short arms to the long or vica versa. Personally, like many other testers, preferred the shorter arms as these seemed to allow the skis a snappier feel, not just snappier turns. They feel like a great pair of slalom skis with the short arms and are exceptional fun and offer great grip on firm snow, a perfect piste ski, teaching ski and one both advanced and expert skiers who love carving will enjoy thoroughly. With long-arms bolted in place they ski much more progressively, the extra dampening really imposes a taming effect upon the performance and they become very comfortable cruisers. In both cases the ski performs very well and it is very much up to the rider which level of performance or shape of turn you’‘ll prefer, for me there was no question. Excellent, interesting, expensive, that price is prohibitive, but definitely worth giving a go.
