OK. I have a dilemna. I'm late getting bitten by the ski bug this season and have only demo'd 4 different skis: The Salomon X-wing 400 (liked them but I think would outgrow them soon), the Salomon Siam 5's (liked them, very similar to the Xwing, I think would outgrow them soon), the Rossignol attraxion V (loved them, but was skiing on ice so not sure how they would perform in other conditions. The Attraxion V felt awesome and seemed to fill me with confidence) and the Dynastar exclusive 10's (a very different ski, liked super short radius turns and was springy and snappy coming out of turns -- I'm not sure about this one -- fun but seemed unnatural for me and I needed to concentrate all the time). It's the end of season and I can put my demo fees toward a purchase, but have to do so by April 15th! Do I buy? Do I wait till next season and demo a bunch more? Are 4 skis enough to know what I like? I'm an intermediate skier, east coast.

Hey hmac, skiing all done in the Gatineau's? Tremblant is staying open till April 16th. Don't know how!! (just came back!)
X-wing is a unisex ski and I think you are right about outgrowing them.
Siam 5's - bottom of the line, you would need a the 8's
Attraxion 5 - I think it might be the answer. It likes all turn shapes, soft enough and similar to my z5's. If you like high speed turn - like Mach 1, not the ski for you.
I tried both the Salomon and Rossi at the ski show demo days. I don't know anything about the Dynastar's, but there has to be someone who does.
