Wagner skis looking to make skis for women

[marzNC]

I don't really know much about Wagner skis, but custom skis are intriguing. Started paying a little more attention after demo'ing a completely weird design in the northeast a few years ago. I've been on the Wagner elist for a couple years. Sounds like Wagner is interested in making skis for women. Recently posted a blog article by Kimberly Beekman. She interviewed Tracy Gibbons, president of the Northwest division of Christy Sports in Denver. The tips make sense to me. I've only listed the headings below, and not copied the tex that go with each topic. There are many TSD gear threads that touch on one or more of the topics.

So it’s not surprising that we have different approaches to everything, including communication (“Getting you to tell me how you feel should not be a multiple-choice quiz”) and buying skis (“I do not have 12 hours to spend reading forums about touring bindings”).

Needless to say, when a woman walks into a ski shop that’s operated entirely by dudes, there may be some gender barriers that may prevent her from getting the gear that’s right for her. (Of course, that’s yet another reason to order custom skis from Wagner.)

• Don’t underestimate your abilities.
• Don’t let the shop kids get you down.
• Do a little research.
• DON’T BE AFRAID TO QUESTION THE LENGTH AND WIDTH.
• UNDERSTAND WHAT (IF ANYTHING) MAKES A WOMEN’S SKI DIFFERENT THAN A UNISEX MODEL.
