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 :-)

women specific ski

What is the difference found in a womens specific ski ? ie K2 NANCY VS K2 SETH ? ... softer , lighter different mounting point ? does this mean that they are not suitable for men ? Would the nancy be a good ski for a 15/16 year old boy, apart from having Nancy written in bright orange on his skiis ? Toofy Grin

Depends on the Company, Salomon's Freeski range is the exact same ski for men and women with diffrent graphics.

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

You'd expect them to be slightly softer and maybe narrower, to account for women being generally smaller and generally not as strong as men. I'd get the boy the Seth, although it would provide quite a few laughs...

I think you've just answered your own question. What are you trying to do, get the prize for most embarrassing parent of all time in the whole history of the world ever? Laughing

Ive already got the medal for embarrassing dad ! .... but seriously, are the women specific skis greatly different,. I have seen in one of Warren Millers dvds a young lad skiing powder on Nancys for the very reason they are as clarky says softer etc so possibly a good choice of (powder) ski for a younger , lighter lad... ...

If you get him the ones with Nancy written on them he'll have to paint it all out with black paint - like Adrian Mole, trying to get rid of Noddy's little bells. Poor little sod.

limegreen1, Women's skis are a good way to go for lighter teenagers who need something longer that junior sizes, but may find adult men's skis too stiff. My youngest Oliver (13) skis on K2 Missdemeanors, but they are not too girly looking - he would have NEVER accepted a ski with "Nancy" on it

mmm, .... I can hear it now as he accepts the skis, sees nancy scrawled on the base and quietly asks for a father son chat, in which he expresses that he was confused, .. rather uncertain about his sexuality in his early pubescent years etc etc, and sees the gift as a way of my understanding ..... WHAT A DAD !

limegreen1, more likely you'll convnce a regular totty-obsessed teenager that his father thinks he's gay - what's that going to do to the poor boy?

I'm with Patch, here - bird skis could be a good solution for a tall teen who hasn't yet got to his adult weight. But not (and I cannot emphasise this enough), NOT with 'Nancy' written on them. In orange. Why don't you just go the whole hog and get him some pink ones with kittens on? Laughing
