Hi All,
I'm going to be at Alta next week and I'm considering demoing powder skis at least some of the days, as it looks like they'll be getting even more snow this week and next and conditions should be pretty fluffy. I would love some advice on which ones to seek out. I don't intend to buy new skis (sadly I don't see enough powder to justify owning a designated pair of powder skis), I just think I might have more fun on fatter and more heavily rockered skis than on the Nela 88s I'll be bringing with me. For reference, I'm 38 yo, 5'5", and an aggressive advanced skier (though i'm much more experienced on hard snow than in the soft stuff). I've never stepped foot on a ski wider than 88 mm. Looks like available options will include:
- Blizzard Sheeva 10 and 11
- Fischer Ranger 98 and 108
- Vokl Secret 96 and 102
- Blizzard Black Pearl 97
- Armada Reliance 102
Thanks for the input!
