Demoed the Elan Magfire 10 today because I wanted to try Elans and that was what they had. Unfortunately, it didn't measure up to my expectations.
The Magfire 10 measures 125/75/109, and I demoed it in a 160 -- a little longer than I wanted, but as they say, you take what you can get. Actually, the ski isn't bad; once you get it on edge it carves really well. And it even manages to cut through crud and piles of fluff decently. But I thought it was a bit squirrely on the short turns. And I didn't like how it chatters when it's running flat or on soft edge.
So not a bad ski. Just didn't bowl me over.
Maybe I'll like one of the other Elans better?
