I'm really leaning towards purchasing Black Pearls this year- but I'm worried about buying another women's specific ski.
A bit about me- I'm no lightweight. I'm 5'10" and fluctuate between 150 and 160 lbs. I would say that I'm an intermediate-to-advanced skier, although I ski on a tiny East Coast hill and get away to bigger mountains 1-2 times a year. I usually ski front side, but love the trees and bumps when I can get them.
I have skied K2 Superglides for the past 4 years and I pretty much loath them. They seem way too soft and quite heavy.
I haven't been able to demo the BPS- but I did Demo the Brahmas and MOSTLY loved them...I'm afraid they are too beefy a ski for me.
I also demoed Head Super Joys and the one wider than those...again- I REALLY worry about buying a women's specific ski and then outgrowing/being unhappy with them after a few years.
I also unfortunately don't get a chance to demo a lot at my hill.
Thoughts on my stats and the BPS?
