Hello!
New member here & I am super struggling with picking out a new ski.
I am an intermediate to advance skier, currently living in the Midwest. I spend most of my season in the Midwest, but go out west a few times a year. I started skiing (again) in my mid-twenties after my husband convinced me to get back into it and he bought me a pair of 17/18 Volkl Yumis as my first pair of skis. While I really loved my Yumis, I realized last season that I was in need of an upgrade after I demoed a Shaggy Belle 95. I absolutely fell in love with having a slightly wider underfoot ski and I wanted something a bit longer as well.
Initially I thought I wanted to go with the Volkl Kenja because I was familiar with Volkls and liked my Yumi, but when I found out that the Kenja dropped to a 88 underfoot this year, I started to look into different skis.
I read about the 2021 Santa Ana 93 and felt like I found my ski. I went out this weekend to check out the Santa Ana but while I was at the ski shop, they tried to talk me into a 2021 Salomon QST Lux 92. Said it was lighter and more playful and now I feel really torn between what I should get.
So I'm looking for advice or recommendations! Any reviews on the Salomons? I know the men's QST is highly rated, but couldn't find much about the women's version online.
Thanks!
