I had a pair of 666's and loved them. They lived a good life and we shared many great times.
From memory the 888 is much more a big mountain, powder ski. Would I get a pair purely for Aus skiing? Probably not. If I was still going to Utah every winter, i'd definitely consider them.

Hi All
I have an opportunity to purchase a pair, so, I just need some opinions on the these skis.
I have only heard sensational opinions of them, especially as an All Mountain ski, but I would like to know other peoples opinions of them, also.
Opinions welcome

Just like most top end Elans - ski them or pay the price!
Speaking of price, if the price is right, get 'em!
You may only use them in Aus irregularly but you will enjoy them every time you doLIFE: IS something I do when I can't go SKIING...
