So I did it! I found out that RJ Bradley's in Littleton, MA (near Nashoba) just got the Phantom system. My skis are probably in the box right now. Just wanted to let you all know that they have it. Happy skiing!
Have you been skiing with Phantom yet? If so, what do you think?So I did it! I found out that RJ Bradley's in Littleton, MA (near Nashoba) just got the Phantom system. My skis are probably in the box right now. Just wanted to let you all know that they have it. Happy skiing!
I have read a few reviews that stated that, but I did not get that impression at all when I was in lift lines on Friday. I glided really easily, but it wasn’t icy snow and was about 20-30F in Tahoe.So I just read a few reviews and I would agree that in the lift line, they aren’t as slippery as waxed skis. But, that’s a GOOD thing. I can walk/ski up to the lift and get a bit of traction, versus freshly waxed skis, when sometimes even skating won’t get you there. Maybe they were a tiny bit sluggish on the flats? But nothing that’s bothered me.
Maybe next time bring another pair of waxed skis and do a comparison? Same idea as demo'ing different models of skis on the same runs. Even though obviously ski design makes a bit of a difference, can test the glide feeling by going more or less straight on relatively easy terrain. That's what I did to test Phantom 1.0 in May 2018 using my treated AJs and untreated BPs in Oregon. By the time I got to Mammoth a few days later, I was sticking to the AJs because I trusted them more when the snow got sticky by mid or late morning.I skied my Sheeva 9 that I had Phantom applied to pre-season in almost 50 degrees temps yesterday. We were straight spring snow. I usually have quite a lot of trouble with the velcro feeling of slow go slow in the spring and as such don’t really love spring skiing all that much. Well I had the BEST spring skiing experience yesterday that I’ve ever had. I don’t know if the Phantom actually made that big of a difference or what, but I’m hopeful this will make my spring skiing much more fun going forward!
