Skis for wife

[2592]

The wife needs a new pair of skis...
57 years young
5'-4", 145#
Loves the bumps at Mary Jane...and skis them well. Skis with the Masters Group.
Current Skis:
2006 Rossignol B2s 148, Likes, but maybe a little longer,
2015 Hart F17 162, Likes on the grooms, but a bit much on the bumps and a bit long.

Looking for something along the line of the B2s, any suggestions, I need a Xmas present!

Thank for the suggestions,
BZ

Armada Victa 84
Blizzard Black Pearl 78
DPS Uschi 82
Nordica Astral 78/84
Rossignol EXP 84AI
Stockli Stormrider 83
Volkl Yumi

All will work well in the bumps and is still fun on the rest of the mountain.

I don't know about its tendencies in the moguls but the most popular ladies ski at the demo centre where I work is the Head Total Joy (85mm waist). I think a good part of its popularity is that it seems to appeal to a wide range of abilities, intermediate to advanced.

Noticing that these are on the narrower band of each ski, does this make these better for the bumps?

Generally yes a narrower ski is better in the bumps they tend to be quicker edge to edge which is important in the bumps. I am not familiar with the B2 but I would guess an 11 year old ski may be 80ish or narrower under foot.

Yes it does. Plus the fact that you said she likes the groomers.

Bandit B2 was one of the first "freeride" skis from Rossi. There really isn't an exact replacement for it.

List is looking good so far. No further reco's from me.

Have some skis to trade for the wife. Can she cook and is she a decent skier?

Wife is on her month of skiing. Demoed the Blizzard Black Pearl 78 and 88, decided on the 88.

Thanks for the recommendations.
