womens all mountain advice - help!!
Started by User in Ski Hardware, 22 Replies
im all confused. Read loads, seen some deals and still cant make up my mind. Anyone help dig me out of this hole? Probabaly need women specific being vertically challenged - 5ft 3 and 53kg, so prbabaly after 150 ish. Getting happy on most black and trying to crack moguls, also moving further from the piste and hope to develop this direction. Loved Rossi B78 w (until hit real hard packed / iciness), perversly loved Rossi S3 twin (although bloomin hard work on piste after a few days of leg burn with 90 waist), hated K2 Burnin Luvs (07/08). Never really tried some real sturdy skis, but friend recommends K2 One Luvs but they are reported to be a bit hefty and not sure they will handle soft fluffy stuff with a 74 waist. On the heavy-ski point is it a question of getting used to it, or are people just heavy-ski, light-ski preferers or is it a matter of typeof skiing? Help!!!!!!!!

i tried on a comfy pair of boots (Nordica SM8 - i have a narrow heel and struggle to get snugness around there). Im a bit of a lightweight girly and im not sure maybe they are too stiff. The flex number (angle?) was 80. Im an intermediate (reds but have a odd shot at blacks), but i only weigh about 53kg so not awful lot of power. Im looking for something that is a bit forgiving of my loads of enthusiasm but maybe not the most consistent style. Any advice much appricated.
