ZO Slalom Settings Survey - Results are In!

[ToddL]

All,

If you slalom ski in competitive tournaments and you know what Zero Offis, then please contribute your input to this survey. I am hoping todiscover some trends about slalom settings for Zero Off and skierpreference based upon skiing style and ability.

Also, here's some recent discussions on the topic:
another forum discussion about settings...

 

I hope to post the results in mid August.

Regards,

Interested to see how this turns out, but perhaps you should add a question about amount of ZeroOff exposure.  For example, I know that C1 hurts me the least so that's what I select at a tournament.  I don't have regular access to it (yet, but it's coming) to attempt to see what's actually BEST for me.

Agree with ZeroOff exposure.

I have a total of 5 ZO sets over two years.

Hard to form an opinion with that amount of exposure. 

I couldn't fill out the survey because I couldn't answer the specific ZO questions. 

[ToddL]

I would like more novice tournament skiers with ZO knowledge.  If you are out there, please take the survey.

 

I would like more junior/light weight skier input.   Please take the survey.  If you are a parent of such a skier, please help be submitting your child's input.

 

Thanks!

Todd

Very cool information. Thank you. But I'm sticking with my C3 unless the session goes badly - then it's A1 - just for ZO tolerance building.

I can tell you that the results were quite different for the Big Dawg skiers. There were very few B selections at all with the vast majority of skiers choosing A or C. The two finalists used C2 (Mark) and C3 (Ben).

 

 

Edited to add: 

From my paperwork for the sweet16 through the finals (eight skiers for me, and then 4, then 2):

A1: 0

A2: 4 (2 skiers skied twice)

A3: 1

B1: 0

B2: 1

B3: 0

C1: 1

C2: 4 (1 skier skied four times, but used B2 in the round of 16, C2 in the 8, 4 and 2 rounds)

C3: 3

The two skiers in the final were Ben (C3) and Mark (C2).

A2-B2-C2 were all the same as A-B-C last year. So that report tells me that the new added numbers are not used and that ZO was better last year.

Does anyone have a name and contact info for a person at ZeroOff?    I'd like to chat with a human over there.   My emails have been unanswered.
