Log in to snowHeads to make it MUCH better! Registration's totally free, of course, and makes snowHeads easier to use and to understand, gives better searching, filtering etc. as well as access to 'members only' forums, discounts and deals that U don't even know exist as a 'guest' user. (btw. 50,000+ snowHeads already know all this, making snowHeads the biggest, most active community of snow-heads in the UK, so you'll be in good company)..... When you register, you get our free weekly(-ish) snow report by email. It's rather good and not made up by tourist offices (or people that love the tourist office and want to marry it either)... We don't share your email address with anyone and we never send out any of those cheesy 'message from our partners' emails either. Anyway, snowHeads really is MUCH better when you're logged in - not least because you get to post your own messages complaining about things that annoy you like perhaps this banner which, incidentally, disappears when you log in :-)

Ski Recommend for Female Seasoned Seasonaire

 Poster: A snowHead
Poster: A snowHead
My 20yo Daughter is coming towards the end of her 2nd season, I sense that another will follow.

She has been on her Missdemeanors for a while now, for general knocking about inc. a bit of park. She has a pair of Volkl Auras for powder days.

I'm wishing to replace the Missdemeanors. I'm looking for an all rounder twin-tip which would go from park up to, but not including powder.

Armada VJJs came to mind, any other suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks. Madeye-Smiley

@Mollerski, the VJJ would be much more powder orientated than the Auras!

My gf uses a pair of Moment Bellas as a do everything ski, but again, they're wider than the Auras.

At the UK industry ski test a couple of weeks ago the girls seemed to really like some of Faction's skis - maybe something like the Heroine would suit? https://www.factionskis.com/skis/ski-1516-her

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

Really? Shocked She says that the Auras are heavy and hardwork on hardpack.

Well the Auras are 100mm underfoot and fairly traditionally shaped (though full rocker I think).

The VJJs are something like 115 underfoot, and the Bellas 108mm.

However the Auras, being Völkl, are likely heavy and stiff. TBH to me they look more like all mountain skis than powder skis, but it could just be they're not really well suited to her and her skiing style (and/or size/strength)?

FWIW my gf finds the Bellas much easier to ski than the narrower but heavy/stiff/metal Völkl Kenjas (I think ~90mm) she had before.

Edit: Yeah the Aura has two sheets of metal in it. So you either have to drive it hard like a racer all day, or it'll take you for a ride. However if she can drive it (and bend it!) that metal should make it better on hardpack - damper and better edge grip!

@Mollerski, if she's doing a season then I'd suggest she goes into a "seasonaire friendly" shop and takes various skis out and then sees what deal they'll do on her favourite ones!

@marcellus,

Her company have their own 'hire fleet'. I'll enquire as to whether any of it is suitable. Cool

@Mollerski, Isn't she old, etc. enough to be acquiring her own skis at saisonnaire rates (heavy discount plus a knee trembler behind the waxing machine?)
