 Poster: A snowHead

My wife is a very good skier--she has skied for 30 years--mostly the legs glued together ski instructor technique. We ski Sugarloaf USA (hard snow/ice)--she needs to graduate to the new shaped skis--she tried my K2 esacpes but she found them too soft (as I did). she is 5'8" 165-170# Likely won't ski the bumps, but rather groomed trails--some steep---What should she Demo??? Thanks Keroab

Obviously A snowHead isn't a real person

keroab, damp skis like the Apache X seem to do well for you, why not put her on a Burning Luv or One Luv to start?
By the way, if you're anywhere near a Sports Authority, duck in and check if they have a Volant Vertex 68 or Silver on closeout in her size.
Will you be up there for Reggaefest?

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

In fact I was thinking of the Fischer RX 8--I skiied the RX 9 and almost got them--it was a tough call--I hear that the RX 8 is a little 'quicker' (wished I had tried them)--am I right?--I agree FEET APART-- I was also thinking of the K2 burnin luv--but it sounds like women's skis are not the way to go--any other suggestions on demos so she can compare it to the fischers?? Thanks keroab

keroab, I really loved the Zag Rouge when I tried them, so much so that I'm going to buy some when the rocks disappear. Ise hated them, but he's a big guy - I'm a little lady!!! The burnin luvs are very popular, but not with pros, so as she's skied so long and so well, I'd definitely avoid lady skis. I did really love the Blizzard XLS which is a detuned slalom ski - very agile and quick and held OK on ice, but I don't know how they'd be in deep though. I know I keep on about them, but she could deffo demo the Scott Aztec as well. Perhaps the Volkl 5*???? Head have a nice detuned race ski as well, but I can't remember what it was called - red and white .............. She could also try the RC4 race which is a detuned version of the WC.
Have fun - you can tell her that it took me 2 years to learn to ski with my feet apart, but it was well worth it.

FAQ
They also go pretty well in the deep (so stiff they slice through everything). Only snag is: they're horribily heavy to carry.
