Ski Diva Extraordinaire
While most would be happy about buying new skis, I'm rather sad. My K2 Missbehaved twin tips circa 2010 are done. They were the best skis I've ever owned, playful, handled any condition with ease, and for being a wider 95mm underfoot carved very well.
So, I need some advice on what's next... I've narrowed down the demo list to:
1. Nordica Santa Ana 93
2. Elan Ripstick 94
3. Nordica Enforcer 94
4. Volkl Secret 92
I love a playful ski that allows me to jump a little, ski backwards some, and bring out my inner goofball. Unfortunately, I've gained quite a few pounds fattening up for the post Covid alien invasion and will need a ski that can handle 195lbs at 5'8" and still be playful. I also don't want a ski I feel invincible on, which makes me question the Enforcer and Secret. I haven't been skiing much the last 6 years, so a feeling on invincibility will probably result in a ride on sled of shame...LOL
Any other suggestions? I'm skiing Purgatory exclusively this year, so unusual or off brands probably are not available to demo in Durango or near by.
Thank you!
