 Poster: A snowHead
|
OK so I am after a supplemental pair for skis for those off piste moments and on piste dump days.
We live in Calgary and skied a lot last winter - all on my One-luvs which I like but they are 06/07 and hence are 68mm waist.
I am fairly short 5 ft 3 3/4 inches and my One luvs are 153s, this is as long as I would want that particular ski for me. Don't know what I weigh, my gues is around 10st.
So what model and what length?
Like the look of the Rossingnol voodoo SC80s, these come in 155 and 165. I realise you go longer as you go fatter , but is 165 no going a bit long for me, but 155 not going long enough?

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

Scott Punishers seem a good place to start...get something in the 160 plus range

My wife has the new Scott Sheela in a 172 and loves them (also available in a 162) - They are a womens version of the Scott Punisher and at £299 are brilliant value. At first my wife was worried that the 172 would be too long but as the ski is a twin tip it skied more like a 168. The 162 would obviously be the same skiing at around 158.

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

gryphea, How about the rest of the K2 range - ie the Tough Luv which is supposed to be the off-piste but not powder ski. I generally ski on either :otta Luvs or Phat Luvs and will be buying the Tough Luv if I can afford it this season. I used to ski on Volkls but now their range doesn't suit me.

Thanks guys - am looking into all the options. Like the look of the Scotts and am trying to find a pair to go and look at!!!!
Are you all saying that I should really have something of the order 160-165?
Skis are actually pretty expensive over here - Its really strange.

look at Scott Maya - i have them - they are greaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat, tight turning circle and all mountain
but I tested the movement spicy at MK other day - lovely - very impressed.
for something pow pow - try rossingnol scratch bc for girlies - it is a powder twin tip - but not a great big plank.
