Hi Ladies,
I'm currently looking at buying a new pair of skis for my Northern Hemisphere trips. I currently own some 2015 Rossignol Saffron 7s, but I really need a longer length and have decided to upgrade. The skis I buy would be used for skiing in Japan, which is powder skiing more often than not or peak season trips to North America. Therefore I want something relatively powder oriented, but that I'll also be able to get by with on the groomers and more variable days.
I've narrowed it down to 2 options; the updated version of what I currently own, the Rossignol Sky 7 HD or the Line Pandora 104.
The reason for the Sky 7 is that I know I like it and wouldn't be taking a risk in just upgrading to a longer length. I demoed this year's model and found it comfortable, being similar to what I have now.
The reason for the Pandora (which I haven't demoed) is based on the great reviews I've read and my partner's opinion on skiing the men's version (Line Sick Day). It sounds like a great ski and perfect for what I want, the only issue is that I haven't demoed and don't know for sure.
Any thoughts from anyone? I'm wanting to take a risk a get the Pandoras, but was wondering if any of you have demoed the Pandora and how it performed on piste and more variable conditions? Or even better, have demoed both and can tell me how they compare to ski?
Thank you
