Calinca
Certified Ski Diva
Hi Divas,
I'm in Europe and ski in the French Alps, Austria and Spain. I love skiing but always struggled with boots and my large calfs (pain, numbness). After many boot fitters, many boots, I think I finally found my magic combo of Dalbello Panterra 105 + Zitpfit linners.
I ski about 3 to 4 weeks a year, so I consider myself a vacation/recreational skier and on piste an intermediate/advanced. I love learning so I'm always pushing myself a bit, having classes etc. I love the feel of carving and I'm trying to improve on technique, love to turn. Medium speed, occasionally will do GS turns and go fast.
I'm 45 years old, 160 cm (5.25 Ft), and 68 Kg (150 pounds). I ski about 80% on piste and dabble a bit off pistes if weather and conditions permit. Being on vacation weeks, I really don't get to pick the perfect ski day and find the pistes conditions in the last couple of years more challenging, not enough snow, spring snow, wet snow, fluffy bumpy, and still want to enjoy those days. I Ski currently on My Blizzard BP 88 (152 cm) from 2018/9
I'm looking for a nimble, playful ski, that carves really well, stable at slow and fast speeds that can handle varied snow conditions and my little dables off piste.I ve read great thing atout the Nela's HERE, and was leaning towards the Nela 80, but now you have the montero as well, although I've read it's "more serious", not really sure what they mean by it?? Less Fun?
Stockli recommends:
1. Montero AS in 160 cm (could this be a bit long for me?)
2. Nela 80 149 cm
3 Montero AW 150 cm
I wont have the opportunity to demo, it's hard fo find stores that carry the model and sizes you want.... so I'll have to buy online and would love your expert input specially if you tried both. Thank you for your help
