Only a fool buys a ski just because its a good deal.
Without a doubt, I agree with Trish on this point. But then again, "Ya get what you pay for" is an old adage that has been disproved many times.
Here's what Phil wrote on Epic last year regarding the Sultan 94:
Again another great Dawgs eye review. I agree 100% with everything Dawg posted including needing a tune out of the box. I picked up a pair of these to go with my MX88's after I felt the MX98 was too close of a feel to the MX88..wait the 98 was closer feel to the 88 than a 94? Funny you should ask but yes. The Sultan 94 is a much more playful feel than the Kastles and a completely different feel underfoot. The 94 will be a great soft snow ski and a blast in big bumps where the MX88 will be more hard snow biased and when we are in a snow drought. As Dawg says (and SJ too) this could be about as good of a 1 ski western quiver ski as there is. Somehow, I believe if 3 major Epic reviewers give their blessings, then how foolish is it to take the plunge. Hey, we've all bought skis based on reviews, we've all been disappointed, and, probably more than once. A selling point, for me, is the shorter turning radius. I am perfectly prepared to accept risk that I may not like them. Unlike this years superstars by Blizzard and DPS, some reviews found the Sultan 94 wanting in some areas, duhhh...no surprise there. If I find a ski in Tahoe that gets the juices flowing....maybe I'll do an upgrade.
So Trish, please visit more often, always a pleasure to cross .......with you! Paybacks are hell!
And happy birthday!
