10 year old skis isn’t that old. Tech inflection was some years before that.

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

@clarky999, on the grounds that a female friend - albeit with a strong race pedigree - whupped my inferno ass on 165 SL a few years ago - you may have a point.

Grrr women. After talking to the owner of her favourite shop in Alpe d'Huez she's decided she wants a pure piste ski rather than All Mountain. Thinking Dynastar Intense 12. Rossignol Famous 10 was possible but longer lengths unavailable. Anyone know these skis or any other suggestions?

@Claude B, I have been skiing Dynastar Intense 10s this year which are indifferent to my being a passenger, and punish me when I indulge my fears and take a backward stance ("OK if that's what you really want..."). But on those occasions when I am "skiing", they are very rewarding and have been a lot of fun on my first alpine trip this season at Hintertux, as they give me the feedback to learn. By extrapolation, if I were a much (much) better skier I would certainly take a look at the 12s.
I have to say that I'm now having to think very carefully about whether I should take my All Mountain Black Pearls out with me, so I think I understand the shift to a pure piste ski.

@motyl, Thanks. I think I'll suggest them to her. She may be able to test some.
Turns out she'd already seen them in the shop and thought they would be suitable.

@Claude B, if she is able to test them, it would be interesting to know her opinion. Not that I think they would be suitable for me any time soon!

@motyl, Will do whether a test or after her birthday  Suspect she won't get the most out of them until she changes boots too.
