There's not a whole lot of buzz about these skis.
I'm looking for an East coast tree ski for my small, light daughter. She's 5' 3" and about 110 pounds.
We get plenty of good snow in VT trees, and she rips through everything. I want something nimble, light, short turn radius with enough float for her.
She's been skiing Gotama JR skis which I think are 86mm at the waist, with no problem.
Our ski shop thinks she should stick with something in the 80's, like the Kama - because of her petite size and ability to put the ski on edge.
Any thoughts on this? She can have another ski for days on groomers.
I was thinking of getting the Ripsticks for myself in 94 - my Black Pearl's are ready for replacement - but I am not as gutsy a tree skier as she is.
Thank you, divas!
