Hello!
I'm new to this, but all the advice and help you guys give is awesome and I am in need of some as well! Growing up, I used to ski every weekend and was in the intermediate but more advanced range. I went away to school though for four years in an area that was not close to the snow so sadly, I only made it up a few times in those years. Now I am in New York City, but moving back to California where I grew up and I hope to ski regularly as I used to.
The last skis I bought are the 05/06 Elan Freeride M666 in a 160, but I didn't demo before buying them and found immediately that they are really heavy for me and without the weight to turn them properly, I struggle to ski with good technique. I found someone who is interested in buying them, so I'm looking for a new ski.
I found a great deal on last year's K2 One Luv ski, however I know it's not as wide as this year's model. I am not sure what ski will best suit the California snow. I am 5'4" and about 125lbs, so I am deciding between a 153 and 160, though I hope to go frequently now and advance to the skill level I used to have.
Any help or advice would be much appreciated!
I would like to stick with a women's ski and I have heard a lot of great things about the K2 line. The men's Elan was too much for me to handle since it's been several years for me.
