    SA 93 (2024 version) lengths

    Hi ladies - I currently ski the 2019 version of the Santa Ana 93s in the 169 length. I love the ski so much, I want to replace with their new model. With that, they recently changed their ski design & length options and am torn between the 163 & 172. Anyone have the same dilemma? 5’7; weight...

    New petite skier, how to choose skis?

    I didn't want to hijack @Pennyskis thread (very helpful btw!) but as a very new skier (not doing parallel, still on greens) there's a lot that I don't know on how to choose skis. I don't really have a skiing style other than "hoping not to fall". I've tried to search this forum for other posts...

    New here, and boy am I glad to meet you all! Heading out for a family ski trip and got so excited about my new Solomon boots that I bought a pair of Head Kore 93's and am starting to regret it. I've been skiing my whole life - which is why I should know better and should have demoed, but I...

    Looking for the perfect ski when you can only have one

    Hi all, looking for some insight for some new skis. I am an older (57) advanced intermediate skier, preferring groomers to trees and usually avoiding all but baby bumps. I’m a one quiver girl as I just don’t get to ski as often as I use to now that I’m living in NC. I ski Vermont a few times a...

    Upgrade Ski for a Colorado Intermediate

    Good morning! I've been lurking for a while, but this is my first post. I ski Colorado Epic mountains (Breck, Keystone, Vail, etc.). I am 5'5" and 110ish pounds. I currently ski a 2013ish version of the Salomon Myriad 88 in a 153 with an actual width of 86. I like that they feel playful, but I...

    Must Buy New Skis...

    While most would be happy about buying new skis, I'm rather sad. My K2 Missbehaved twin tips circa 2010 are done. They were the best skis I've ever owned, playful, handled any condition with ease, and for being a wider 95mm underfoot carved very well. So, I need some advice on what's next...

    I want new skis! Advice please...

    I grew up skiing in the Northeast. At 57 Now I live down south and ski out west, and hope to ski more these upcoming seasons even a month or so, pending Covid of course. Renting I think would be to cost prohibitive. I’m thinking this time of year, in the middle of a pandemic I might be able to...

    Hello Ladies! I'm coming off the Atomic Vantage 90cti (169cm) and demoed a pair of the 2017/2018 Santa Ana 93 (169cm), and am debating pulling the trigger on the 2019 version of them. Does anyone own a pair, thoughts on coming off of a similar ski? Is there any drastic differences between the...

    Help Needed: My New Skis are Miserable

    My first day out was no fun at all! I will leave out the play by play (even though I'm dying to vent about it) and get to the point. I bought a pair of skis and I think they are too long for me at this stage. I was crossing tips all day. At the end of last season I was skiing mostly parallel...

    New Skis? Former Racer

    Hey gals! I'm looking at moving onto a new set of skis, but I'm not even sure where to start looking. I've been on Atomic race skis since I was 11, so the idea of moving away from the race models can be intimidating. When I've gone into the stores that are close-ish to me, they've been...
