Hi Ladies, I know, there's LOTS of info on here already, but I wanted to ask specifics.
I am an expert skier normally off-piste if conditions warrant, but also spend some days on the groomers with my kids. I am 5'4" and 125 pounds. I ski Whistler, Crystal (and Snoqualmie Pass when with kids). I'm currently on old Rossignol B3s in a 160. They've been OK. They are good in the bumps which I love to ski, decent in the powder, terrible at high speed and on "icy" groomers even after a tune.
I've tried:
Salomon Rockette 90 -Liked them in Whistler, but made me tired. Make sense? I can't explain.
Volkl Kenja - liked them, but only skied groomers and a few bumps in Sun Valley.
Fischer KOA 88 - Ah, just OK for me. Nothing particularly bad, but again, only in Sun Valley.
Atomic Century - Liked them in Whistler (no new snow), but they felt a little cheap? Not sure how to describe.
I WANT to try and am wondering what else you ladies recommend:
Kastle MX88 - Does any lady my size own these? Too much ski?
Kastle BMX88 - Anyone skied BOTH these Kastles? BMX sounds like it might be better for my size, not sure.
Nordica Hells Belles - Sounds great!
Blizzard Black Pearl - Any thoughts?
Again, I'm so sorry, I know these skis are all reviewed here. I've read the comments and I'm curious about the specifics above still.
Many thanks,
Robyn
