If you've followed my saga from earlier threads, you know I'm about to buy another bargain-bin ski!
Me: 5 ft 0, 125 lbs. Advanced skier, all-mountain skiier in tahoe. I think I like a heavier, damper ski. I have K2 Missbehaveds which I love for powder and fluffy days, but I'm looking for an all-mountain, carving-positive ski for under $200. Yay, eBay! I know - demo, demo. except I'm looking for gear so cheap, and I can resell used... so I'm going in blind. I like a ski which I can drive hard and fast, but which doesn't try to pick the pace for me. I could use more confidence inspiring, less independent ski, but one which I can take anywhere and ski hard with.
Nordica victory - 119/74/104, 2008 in a 146 cm.
K2 Lotta luv - 119/78/105 in a 149 cm. My partner has these and does love them.
K2 Missdemeanor - 113/80/104 in a 154. I love the missbehaveds, but are these too long/not good enough at the hardpack/ice?
Volkl Tierra - 129-78-99 in a 147 cm. I'm worried I will find these too stiff and/or too sensitive, but people love them...
Rossignol Bandit SC74 - i love Bandit B1ws, so maybe I'd like these just as much?
