The Flair SC comes with a subtle tip rocker and a titanal band. This makes it impressively maneuverable and at the same time very sportive, agile and easy to control. The mini-cap with sidewall also provides power transmission without demanding too much force from the rider. The material mix in the construction simply ensures a super balanced skiing on all slopes. The Flair SC especially impresses in short turns.
Intermediates and advanced female skiers will love the Flair SC, as it can be skied easily and at the same time sportive all day long, whether it be on hard slopes in the morning, or softer afternoon snow. Depending on the mood and plan of the day, this ski can nicely handle challenging terrain but it is also made for relaxed carving. The Flair SC is simply a reliable partner in any conditions.

Ski Buyers Guide
Buying a pair of skis doesn't need to be a daunting experience. When buying a pair of skis, there are a few simple pieces of information that will help you to find your perfect match. With the introduction of carving skis and new technology, ski length is based more on the user’s weight than the tradition of using your height. Combine this with your ski level and your aspirations and this will help narrow your choice very quickly. Follow these simple steps:
STEP 1 - ABILITY
Firstly choose your current skiing level from the list below:
1 - Never skied before
2 - I can stop with a snowplough
3 - I am doing snowplough turns, and the odd blue run
4 - I am starting to parallel ski and onto blue runs
5 - I am venturing onto reds, and starting to make step turns
6 - I am getting confident on reds, and maybe doing the odd black
7 - I am comfortable skiing most black runs
8 - I am confortable on ice, and venturing off-piste
9 - I am skiing off-piste aggresively, and carving across all pistes
10 - I am a professional experienced ski instructor or racer

- INTERMEDIATE (Level 4-6)
- ADVANCED (Level 6-8)
- EXPERT (Level 8-9)

STEP 2 - TERRAINNow you know your skier level, you can decide where you will mainly be using your new skis:

STEP 3 - SKI LENGTH

STEP 3 - FINAL ADJUSTMENT FOR SKILL LEVELThe final calculation- For
NOVICE skiers, this is your recommended length. For
INTERMEDIATE and
ADVANCED skiers we recommend adding 5cm to the above measurement, and for
EXPERT and
