 Poster: A snowHead
|
I'm wanting to upgrade my skis and buy my first ever brand new set! Im a bit excited... I want an all mountain ski.
I'm 160cm tall. I have a good skiing technique but am not particularly aggressive and sometimes lack confidence if the conditions are not great. I'm happy doing most listed runs and need to work on confidence for off piste (something that I am really keen on improving). At the moment I ski on völkl supersports which are getting on for 10 years old!
So far I've tried the Salomon BBR limelites, which I really enjoyed but could do with some other ideas to try before I buy!
I'm working out in Barèges for the winter so I have plenty of time to test things. Any advice would be gratefully received.

Pixielikeperson,
If your looking for something all mountain then the nordica wild belle is a lot of fun and I love the Black Pearls too, a real toss up as to which are more fun, possibly the BPs are more forgiving, the WBs liked to be driven in a good way.
If your looking more off piste oriented then the armada vjj takes some beating but at 115 underfoot is not so great on piste unless your on soft soft soft snow, I hated it on the groomed ice!

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

My Mrs swears by (and occasionally at) her Dynastar Legend Idyll's. Super solid ski, edges really well and seem to work pretty well in the soft stuff.

My gf loves her Voelkl Kikus all over the mountain (she used to swear by Fischer RC4 slalom skis everywhere, not anymore!)

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

I have Volkl Auras which I love as a proper all mountain ski but I would recommend going to www.theskidiva.com for a bit more advice, they had loads of reviews of womens skis.

Pixielikeperson, whilst you are not a tall lady, my first thought when I saw your thread title was just that it might be worth keeping an open mind and not limiting yourself just to ladies specific skis.
