Hi Ladies!
I'm super petite and looking for some advice on new gear
I'm an intermediate skier in the PNW. I'm 4'10 (147cm),110lbs. A ski shop recently sold me on getting the Salomon QST Lux 92; 153cm. But after talking to a girlfriend of mine she thought I'd be better off with mid-80s waist and shorter skis.
I started off skiing in Vancouver (Cypress and Whistler) but have since relocated to the Seattle area. I got a seasons pass this year to the Summit at Snoqualmie. I'm still pretty cautious on blues but really want to get better this year since I don't really do tree runs or bumps off the side. I'm planning to hit up Mount baker and probably whistler again this year for some powder. Would say mainly stay on groomers but definitely want something that can handle the one off powder days.
What are your thoughts on the Salomon 92s? Should I go down to mid 80s like the black pearl 88s? I was also recommended Line Pandora 84 (151), K2 mindbender 85 (149).
I'm also really concerned about the height of the ski. Someone told me generally if the skis are above your head it's for aggressive/ advanced skiers.
Thanks in advance for sharing your ski gear experiences !
