Hi, shorter ladies! I'm hoping to get some first-hand feedback on demo skis to try and/or models to look for at any upcoming swaps/sales. I'm on some very old Elan M-Pro Flame (Jr?) twin tips, 145cm, no real rocker, super soft/narrow, super chattery on crud/hardpack. I demoed the 2019-20 152cm Moment Hot Mess (~87 waist, big rocker) at Lutsen and loved them -- stiff enough but playful, easy to flip from edge to edge, gave me power back when I pushed them, ate the crud -- I had confidence I hadn't had in a long time. Could have used a couple fewer cm length, just for the ease of stepping over my own tails (tiny 265 BSL). Wouldn't want anything much softer. I like to switch between charging hard and doing finesse drills on gentler slopes, and want at least a partial twin tip. Ski mostly on-piste, but I'm game for any conditions. Lightweight a plus. 4'10", ~110lbs.
Anyone skied the Hot Messes & know how they compare to the 2020 Santa Ana 88s or this year's Black Pearls? I like stability at speed, medium-small radius turns, good edge hold on ice. Thanks all!
