    Liberty V82W - one pair at Sierra

    I have these in the 76 width and love them dearly. Great skis. I'm sad they discontinued the line.

    100ish east coast "powder" recommendations

    I too recommend trying the SA98. I have the 2021s. I haven't had much chance to ski them in powder, but I've been loving them in soft groomers.

    Recommendations for new frontside ski (replacing 2016 Volkl Yumis) for intermediate skier?

    I recommend trying the newer version of the Yumi as it now has some metal to give you the bite you're looking for on hardback.

    I'm such a Jacket Slut!

    I have the Montec one in pink and like it a lot. So my vote is for the Montec.

    Nordica SA 98, Blizzard Black Pearl 97 or...?

    I just bought a pair of Santa Ana 98s and took them out yesterday on soft groomers and frozen chicken heads. Had a blast! These were not the conditions I bought them for, but I wanted to try them out. Love them, they were stable and fast, but maneuverable at the same time. Hopefully will be able...

    2021 Ski Gear Preview

    @contesstant Did you ski the 2021 or 2022? I bought the 2021 98s without demoing based on my love for my SA 88's. Wondering if I should have gone with the 2022s which are out now....

    Ski Bindings for Volkl Auras

    If you liked your Z10s, but want something a bit sturdier, how about the Z12's?

    Blizzard black pearl and volkl secret

    If you liked the Secret, then I would definitely demo the Yumi. These would be a bit more intermediate friendly while still handling more variable snow really well.

    New skis for Intermediate skier - Santa Ana 88 vs 93 lengths

    I recommend going with the 88 if you're skiing mostly groomers for now. I have this ski and absolutely love it. I ski primarily on groomers in the East, but based on other Diva's reviews, these will still give you some versatility for off piste. And you can always buy the 100s in a year or so...

    Mid-Atlantic/SE skiing (PA, NJ, DC, MD, VA, WV, NC) for 2019-20

    Driving to Tahoe

    Not sure if we are at the Ridge. I just know we are off of Tramway Dr. Here's hoping for a March miracle. :snow:

    New ski suggestions?

    If you are thinking Santa Anas and ski mostly in the East, I recommend giving the Santa Ana 88 a look. I'm loving mine. I feel like they ski narrower than their 88 width and do great on very firm groomers as well as crud.

    Driving to Tahoe

    We are renting a condo near the Stagecoach lodge in Stateline. I went with that one because it's supposed to be close to the shuttle. I've never been to Tahoe so I really don't know what to expect. I'm crossing my fingers that it all works out. Thanks everybody for your input. I'm feeling...

    Thanks! Sounds like we'll just miss you. I would love to meet some more divas.

    Thanks. I am really hoping for some snow to fall between now and then.

    Driving to Tahoe

    Hello Diva's, I am planning a trip with some of my family traveling from SFO to Heavenly the second week of March. I am planning on renting an all wheel drive vehicle, but many of the car rental companies do not allow chains. Does anyone have any idea how likely it is I will need them and how...
