Thank you.
You’re welcome!
Thank you.
The 160 is an "adult" size, such as a 155SL is a adult ski too. The tester here for the 167 is 5'10" and 250lb..he seems to enjoy them. If anything, this in a 160, might buch for him at 108lb . If you start feeding him more than bird seed, by next year he should be OK . It is a helluva ski..and a great price.@Wendy thoughts on the height limit for those Trainors? I have been watching these threads for ideas for a narrower ski for my 14 y.o. 5' 8" 108lb son (strong intermediate). The DPS sounds like it could be a contender but am wondering if the 160 is going to be too short even given the minimal weight he lugs around. The DPS sight only lists the 160 and a 168 so sizing seems like it might be somewhat non-traditional. Thanks for any insight.
And OP, thanks for putting together and publishing you list - useful info and entertaining (to say the least) process.
I guess I didn't read Tony's review too closely, I just got "Loved it, loved it, so so so fun." And I agreed.
compared to other fun slalomish skis I've spent a lot of time on... kastle MX 74 in 172 and Stockli laser AX, 168, I find the trainer to be as good or better off piste. Maybe I'm still infatuated, but I ski 90% of the time off piste, and have been skiing it daily in big KT bumps this spring and find the design just sweet. I even skied it back to back with the AX at the rose pugski demo down spring bumps on Golds and the trainer was more friendly, quicker and versatile there then the AX to me.
Don't want to hijack the topic from the other skis here, but I wanted to follow up on James direct thought.
Cheers!
