Has anyone skied the Dynastar Intense 12 and/or the Rossignol Nova 14? Especially interested if you are a skier who sometimes slips into the back seat (as I do), I don’t want to overextend myself with too much of a ski. Also please any advise on length? Or alternatives.
More info:
I am 172cm and 70kg. I have a Dynastar Intense 10 in a 160cm, they are great, very forgiving, very easy, perhaps too easy. I would like something which perhaps is more grippy, more demanding and with more pop out of the turns.
However I have a back injury, limited mobility due to QL spasm (left hip to rib is a disaster), one leg which doesn’t respond well (am working on it). I currently ski with an a-frame very evident in one direction and slip into the backseat when things get hairy. Working on inside leg activation at the moment.
I’ve been suggested to forget women’s skis and get a race ski but am unsure. I did consider a Head I.Race SLR or the Supershape. Not by choice I did ski a Volkl Race Tiger SL in a 160cm and they were a blast, but I was exhausted after one run. Stuck on a Head FIS in a 165cm and I was just shoving them around not even turning them and they were very heavy with my current fitness level.
