Hi. I need help deciding on some skis. I have a chance to get 2011 Nemesis in a 161. I am 5'4", 120lb and ski a ton in the east (patroller in VT). I hope to use these as a western ski mostly - couple of trips a year cat skiing and resort, skinning "side country" . Will this ski be enough or would a wider ski be better. I don't want something that will only do well in 3 feet of pow (sadly that's not what I get to ski regularly:(). I plan on putting a light AT binding on them, so if we do get a good storm here in VT I can use them.

I have those Nemesis, and love them. I teach in NH, am 5'4", and 120. I skied them all the time last winter, and took them out west for boot to knee deep powder skiing. I absolutely love them!

I have the 2011 Nemesis in 169 (5'4", 130 +/- 5 depending on current supply of Haagen-Dazs). I live in the midwest so there is no powder...barely any snow in fact. Had it out on hard pack, kinda icy....sooooo fun! I feel like these skis could take me anywhere. Those suckers felt so stable. They're a good-looking ski and so were attracting quite a bit of attention on the lift and a lot of people were asking how they were doing because they're so wide. They are surprisingly agile and maneuverable, in my opinion, for their width. I love them!

It may not be the best ski in the whole wide world, but it's quite good in all conditions. I have 2 pairs, and several of my friends have purchased them as well.
