 Poster: A snowHead
|
|
I've just purchased some nice new skis to play on next winter so I now have a pair of Fischer Red Heats that I will either sell (to part fund new skis for my wife) or maybe they would be good for her? The Fischers are 160 long, my wife is 5' 3" (weight is a well guarded secret, but I reckon 60-65kg). I guess my concern is would the Fischers be too stiff and too long. She is an intermediate skier, not overly aggressive, prefers piste but wants something with a little more float than her Rossi 150's. Thoughts appreciated.

Obviously A snowHead isn't a real person

You will get 0 points for chopping the back of your knackered skis and fobbing them off on your wife. Much better get a couple of quid for your old skis (or dump them) and buy some blingy new skis for her indoors and be back in the love nest. You knew this already.

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

Yeah, give the little ol' lady the castoffs.
That'll do.

 I restrained myself from responding to this post.... though maybe the little old lady would enjoy something stiffer?

Come back with your new opinion when you suggest to her she uses your cast offs instead of you buying her a new pair of her own

Bought a pair of Atomic Blackeye Ti's . I was wanting somethng that I could use over more terrain, but with a reality check that I have two young kids, any off piste will be limited so not much point buying anything 85mm plus.

ac505,
I'd chop a wee bit off the back before handing them on, alternatively you can get some well used rental skis that may be soft enough at a reasonable price.

You know it makes sense.

Could do with some new skies around here, nice blue ones instead of these grey cloudy ones.
