I'm trying to decide between the Spitfire 80 vs the Head E-Rally. How would you compare the two? I'm From Eastern Canada and usually ski low elevation icy or granular soft snow. I have a pair of head Kore 93 now and I'm looking for something more sporty carving all mountain ski for our hard-pack icy conditions.
I've found the Spitifire to be smoother and better at accessing the sidecut and getting into a carved turn. The Rally is stiff, and unless you're on very firm snow and are willing to navigate as Head intends, it's not as satisfying as the Nordica. I am very impressed with the Spitfire's ability to make clean and round carved turns while having some softer snow capabilities as well.
My Firearrow 76 Ti is getting old. While I enjoy my Enforcer 94 but want a more narrow nibble ski like the Firearrow. What might you suggest? The Spitfire looks similar to my Firearrows, but what's the Doberman besides a dog?
The Spitfire is a more precise and energetic version of the Firearrow--using new Double core technology, they're able to make the ski both smooth and poppy at the same time. You may feel the Firearrow does the same, but these Spitfires take it to the next level.
It's less stiff but more smooth, if that makes sense. You can get the whole thing to bend, and I think that's a good thing. They have the stiffer Dobermann line now and that feels closer to the Spitfire builds of yesteryear. For most skiers who don't have a legit race background and are looking for a front side ski that is super smooth and stable but not terribly demanding, this is a great new construction.
The Spitfire feels denser, smoother, and more powerful. The lighter K2 is incredibly stiff and grippy but I don't think it feels as much like a GS ski as the Nordica. You kind of have to want those specific characteristics of the K2 in order to go that route--more skiers will likely prefer the stability of the Spitfire.
I think I want these!!
Do it!

@@SkiEssentials Thank you very much.
How do they compare to the previous spitfire 80? That ski was stiff.

@@SkiEssentials How would you compare this in terms of stiffness and forgiveness to NORDICA DOBERMANN MULTIGARA DC? Thank you.
How does this compare to the k2 disruption 82ti?
