Good Day lovely ski ladies!
I have not fully accepted that ski season is now over in the northeast, so to distract myself from my impending depression, I have been looking at ski deals, reviews etc, and am hoping to build my quiver.
A bit about me, I am 5'4", 145lbs and would put myself in the advanced camp, but not quite an expert. I love to ski the trees, but also spend a lot of time on firm pack (ice coast conditions) when the trees are closed (or just become a bobsled track).
My current daily driver is the mindbender 89ti w. Its great in firm condtions, and corn snow. Has a short turn radius so it is definitely manageable in the woods. However, I am looking for something more playful with a bit more float. Kind of an east coast "powder" ski.
My initial thought was to look into the Sheeva 10's, but i dont want to limit myself. I did demo the ripstick 88's and had a ton of fun on those, so perhaps the ripstick 102s would be a good option.
I spend most of my time in the trees. Sometimes steep and tight trees, sometimes wide open and low angle. I intend for this ski to be a fun/playful mid-season tree ski, and would love if it could handle moguls decently.
What are yout thoughts? I know I should probably demo them next season, but if i see a huge 50% off sale I might snag them this summer.
