She is at the start of the intermediate level. She can ski all blues and some reds pistes. She is using slim carving skis right now which makes her very uncomfortable as soon as the corduroy is gone as they are hooky and she cant carve.
She is HEAVY but does a lot of fitness/strength training so she is quite strong and squats 225lbs for reps.
We have been demoing skis and have some idea of what she likes. The problem is as the day went by, the slope got increasingly worse so it was hard for her to gauge which skis felt good or not at the end.
She loved Nordica Santa Ana unlimited in 172cm.
She liked Atomic Maven 86 in 163cm but felt the Maven 86c was too stiff.
She didn't like qst 96 and thought they felt flimsy (end of day so conditions were scraped up ice)
It seems she likes lightweight and not too stiff skis.
The Santa ana unlimited is on the list of course but they're a bit too premium I think.
Any ideas?
