Ski Diva Extraordinaire
Totally on the fence on what to do. I haven't bought a new pair of skis in about 6-7 years. I currently ski on Atomic Century 166cm and Milleniums 169cm.
I still really enjoy both. The Century gets too chattery for me on hard groomers but handles mix days and spring conditions really well. I end up skiing on the Milleniums the most. They are so much fun in deep snow and powder conditions. I do really have to drive them in chop up snow. They don't look too beat up but definitely the top sheet is chipped and rubbing off on the edges and no major divets in the bases. Some days I still really love them and some days I wonder if they are starting to get soft and not as poppy as they once was.
I mostly ski in the backcounty on both pair of skis. Yet I also use them at our little local ski hill (600 vertical feet with a t-bar) when the conditions are unsafe in the backcountry. I do ski pretty aggressive and fast and love to ski steep lines when its safe. I am 5'5'', 120lbs so a fairly light petite skier. I really love a playful ski that easy to initiate turns on.
I live in rural NE Oregon and demoing skis is out of the question since no reps make it to our frontier, remote, beautiful mountain community.
My questions is when do you know it is time to upgrade or replace?
Super curious since everything is going on sale and have been looking at the Atomic Vantage 95 and Line Pandora 110 as upgrades. Open to suggestions of other skis to look at.
