I thought I'd add my thoughts on the Sheeva 10s. I've been skiing a Line Pandora as my daily driver, and decided to get something dedicated to inbounds. I wanted something that kept all the perks of the Pandora - super fun in the trees and the bumps - but with a thicker waist and a little burlier since I didn't have to worry about uphill weight.
The Sheevas definitely delivered. They felt familiar from the first run. They performed well in all sorts of snow - fresh powder up high, a little manky below, and all over a terrible layer of bulletproof rain crust. They wowed me with how stable and versatile they were.
The turn radius and stiffness were an interesting mix. They were so easy to slarve, but harder to flex. The skis seemed to want to turn before I did. They'd pivot, when I'd want them to stay pointed downhill and build enough speed to flex them. It could be user error & spending a bit more time on them to get used to them. But it could be the fact that they ski short. I caught
@Tricia's advice about sizing up in between, but figured since I'm on a Pandora (which also skis short) at 162, the 164 would be best. They have the same turn radius, but they felt even shorter. I'd be interested in trying out them again in 172 (even though that sounds massive to me) to find something that skis similarly, but that turns longer.
