Hi Gals!
I am an intermediate skier in Colorado looking to invest in a new pair of skis. My current pair are hand-me-downs, and not a known brand, and I feel like they are holding me back from reaching my potential. I would really like to gain more confidence on the mountain!
I have been skiing groomers, mostly greens and blues, and like to focus on my technique, turns, and carving. Speed is not a factor I am super interested in when it comes to skis.
I am debating between the K2 Mindbender 90C and the K2 Disruption 76C. I am worried the Disruptions might be too beginner level, but that the Mindbenders might be too advanced for me. I am not used to a lively ski, is that going to be tough to jump right into? Or is that going to be the best way to improve and gain more confidence? Theres a pretty big difference in their waist width...
Would love all the advice! I will say I am definitely pretty set on a Carbon ski, I am 5'2" and weight about 115 pounds, so a lightweight ski is super crucial for me, but I am open to hearing other options!
