volkl attiva s4 2007 is this ok?

[Chiquita]

i was wondering if anyone can help me out.
Any thoughts on the 2007 attiva volkl s4 or the attiva ac3?

I am a 5'10 135 high intermediate, groomed-runs, northestern skier. i am currently on rossi b2w which i dont really love (might be short for me at 158). i was sick of demo-ing so when i saw a pair of 161 2007 volkl attiva s4 online for a good price i got them. i hadn't considered the 2007 volkl attiva ac3 because i though theyd be too stiff, and the s4 got a bunch of awards (well both did actually).

anyway, did i make a big mistake? i havent gotten to ski on them yet, but should i have gone for the ac3? did i basically buy the same thing as my bandits?

oh , when i did demo i demoed roxy bliss (these were nice) and atomic sugar mama (nice too...are these anything like the volkl s4?).

Thanks everyone for any help!!!

My son has the 5 star and loves em
Attiva is Women specific.
I, found those rossis (B2)to be unresponsive and think volkl's in general have a little more pop.

Have fun.

Volkl Motion S4 Skis- Replacing last years Vokl Attiva 4 Star, the Volkl Attiva Motion S4 skis are the perfect fit for women who love to challenge themselves while still cruising the groomers. This versatile Volkl ski is great for the progressing, all mountain skiers. The Marker Attiva LT 11.0 bindings bring you the one piece “Light Technology” interface that snaps together according to the boot sole length and then slides onto rails, providing light weight, easy flex with undemanding maneuverability.
Double Grip LT- Uses dual-chamber arrangement, with added fiberglass to provide better grip through added support for the edge.
Attiva Motion- The first women-specific ski/binding system, Volkl engineers developed a special Motion rail with a second set of pin holes, 1.5 cm ahead of the standard, allowing the boot center to be moved ahead be that amount. Moving the skiers center of gravity forward creates easier turn intiation.
Tip-2-Tail Wood Core- As the name suggests, the Tip-2-Tail Wood Core extends from tip to tail. It is surrounded by PU and glass, and is used inside the Double Grip LT construction.

If you're wondering about the Attiva AC3s you may want to have a look at my review in the gear review section. I bought these skis about a year ago, but did not ski them until this season. I've had them out 3 times thusfar. I'd be happy to answer any questions you may have about them.

If you spend 75-90% of your time on eastern groomers, the S4 is the perfect choice. It's a versatile carving machine. My all-around ski is the unisex 6 star, it's older big brother. Because of my weight and the high speeds at which I operate, I went from the 161 to the 168, but I think the 161 would be fine for you.

Once you get a chance to try them out, let us know what you think!
