We're heading to MT to ski Red Lodge, Bridger and Big Sky in March. I'm bringing my wife's current skis but looks for recommendations on a skid size/shape to rent for her as well out there.
Info:
Wife is 5'2" 125. She's a good skier on groomers, but struggles some off piste due to lack of experience.
Current skis are K2 Superific 120/76/104 146cm length. 11 radius. She loves these skis and they do well in for her skiing in the midwest. They are very playful soft skis however and when we get into any type of crud she really struggles as the skis don't have much umph to power through any piles of snow. I'll bring these out west in case it's a hard pack day (especially at Red Lodge where I expect that and we'll likely be skiing groomers).
When we get in Bozeman I'd like to do a 2 day rental for her. Need ideas on size and width to look at. 155 length? 86 width? More rocker?
