    Bent 90 Review

    Hi Divas! I recently bought a pair of Atomic Bent 90s. I realized that, although they're super hyped up, all the reviews for them that I could find online were written by dudes, so I thought I would do a write-up of my first impressions :) Info about me: early 30s, 5'4, 110 lbs, ski about a...

    Any Seattle kayaking divas?

    I am about to be the proud owner of a 12' Razorlite inflatable kayak and I can't wait to go on adventures! I rely on shuttles to get to the ski hills and they aren't running because of COVID, so I'm confined to lowland fun this year. Are there any other Puget-sound area divas with tip and...

    Question: Demo day + new skis + arts & crafts advice?

    Hello divas! I had a fantastic demo day recently at Stevens Pass! 2020 Volkl Yumi vs. 2019 Blizzard Black Pearl 88 vs. 2020 Rossignol Experience 88, and I fell in love with the Black Pearls. The Yumis took too much effort to get to do the turn shapes I wanted (I felt like I was just along for...

    Standing still...

    Hi Smatty! Jilly has a good point, it would be most helpful if you could meet up with an instructor who can see what you're actually doing, instead of us in the blind peanut gallery LOL. But from my seat up here, I'll say that I sometimes forget how much I can lean forward over my skis without...

    Help Needed: Intuition liner for Lange boots?

    Thanks for all the advice ladies! The Seattle REI flagship store is apparently better staffed/stocked in the ski department than REIs usually are. A ski section specialist put some padding around the ankle bone on the outside of the liner. It seemed to help, and I'm looking forward to trying it...

    Help Needed: Intuition liner for Lange boots?

    Hi! I have superfeet green insoles in the boots. I live in downtown Seattle, WA and ski near there - Stevens Pass and Summit. I don't already know a boot fitter - I was thinking of going to REI where I bought the boots and seeing what they thought?

    How many ski days do you have this season?

    I've skied 4 days so far this year, and might get up to 8 or 10 days this season. I'm limited by a job with lots of overtime and a dependence on shuttle buses to get to the mountain. I'll take any snow day I can get! :)

    Help Needed: Intuition liner for Lange boots?

    Hello there, I love my Lange RX 80 LV boots and they initially had great heel hold, but my right heel is now slipping around so my foot is jammed forward in the boot and I can't control my ski well. I've only skied about 15 days in them! I'm looking at options for replacing the liners but am a...

    Where do you usually ski?

    I just moved to Seattle from the Willamette Valley and am looking for Snoqualmie or Baker buddies for the weekends! :D

    Ski Bag Sizes

    I have the Rossignol Electra extendable bag. Its shorter length fits my 149 cm skis very nicely.

    Ski Travel Bag for Family

    I haven't seen any bags designed to fit more than 2 pairs of skis. With four pairs in a bag I'd be worried about how the all those bindings and edges could interact to damage the bindings. I've seen how handlers sling heavy bags around, it's not gentle. Having the skis packed two-and-two also...

    "Woman's solo hiking trip..."

    LOL The Onion nails it. It's strange that people still think it's so strange for a lady to just want to get out there. I certainly get enough bemused looks from rangers and odd comments from fellow hikers on my solo backpacking trips.

    Question: I'm curious about ski brand's rental lines?

    So here's a mystery (at least to me). I've rented quite a few skis in beginner packages the past two winters... some have been fun, some have been beat up beyond recognition, some are planks (cough cough Blizzard Elevate 7.7). They've had brand names like Salomon and Blizzard on them, but the...

    Can you overcome ski anxiety that isn't just physical, but social too?

    Hi Leela, I don't have much constructive to add to the awesome advice other Divas have given here, but I just wanted to say welcome! And that I would be happy to join your long-distance cheering squad along with the ladies on this forum! Maybe it would help for you to pinpoint something that...

    How are you addressed by your children's friends (18+)?

    I'm in my late 20s, and I address my friends' parents or mentor-aged people as Mrs/Mr LastName unless they specifically request otherwise, especially if I've known them since I was a kid. After college I started calling the great majority of new people that I met by their first name.

    Snack Ideas?

    I like larabars for hangriness insurance; no matter how squished up they get in my pocket they're still delicious. I found a couple bags of larabar "balls" at the discount grocer that I've been taking hiking, they're really good too for a quick mouthful. @MilkyWookiee good idea about the...

    Does anyone else have that one slope that they struggle with?

    @ski diva @contesstant the cat track green route from the top at Hoodoo is completely terrifying to me. It's the access for all the black routes on one side... super steep dropoff and impatient experts skidding down it to get to the black terrain. Plus it's narrow and curvy. That stupid route is...
