Due to the very high smoothness in long turns, the 24 Hours gets a very good rating. In the short turns the Salomon is a bit harsh, which is also reflected by the need of more body effort. Although for Manuela Mösenbichler and Ingrid Salvenmoser this ski seems to be tailor-made, because they both award the highest ratings to this model.
