Ski Diva Extraordinaire
Has anyone tested this ski? The shop near me have these on sale at half price and I can have them for really good price (almost silly as I can also have discount on bindings if I buy them together) but unfortunately they don't have a pair in my size mounted so I can't demo. I liked the flex of a ski but they seem to be not rockered, just twin tips, so I am not certain how they would handle - I haven't ridden a ski without rocker since I retired my old Auras. I was quite surprised that skis without rocker are still being made these days, even my Magnums have an early rise and they are full-on piste carvers. I noticed that they are somewhat shorter and more narrow than the stated length/width. At 168 they are about 166, and according to website the width is 100, but I measured them at 95mm - which is not an issue as I reckon mid 90s to be the most versatile width. I am looking to replace my Bushwackers for next season with something a little wider that would handle variable conditions a little better. No shop in the resort unfortunately carries Sambas, though I saw fatter Blizzards in couple places. The ski is gorgeous but this is the least of my concerns. Any information and first hand experience (or second hand experience for that matter) are welcome!
