Hey.

I need help finding the right ski for my girlfriend and her brother. It is supposed to be a christmas present and im helping their mother..

Well.. All my girlfriend do is ski on the piste. She is very good but she doesnt like the graphics and regular carving skis. So I was thinking something like the völkl bridge or salomon suspect for her?

And the brother is of course a little more rough in his style of skiing. hes turning 15 soon, and takes some jumps and such, but nothing serious in that matter.. I was actually thinking the same ski as his sister, but that would be a little boring...

Is the suspect or bridge an okay choice for groomers only?

try some roxy's or maybe line celebritys for the girlie because she'll dig the graphics and might appreciate the lightness of most roxy brands.... and maybe some suspects for the young chap

the bridge is a VERY stiff ski, so unless your gf is 6' and a buck 80 i think they would be very hard to handle.

Try looking into some girl specific skis, such as the lines mentioned... a girl ski is designed for girls and will be a lot more forgiving and easier for her to handle

all the major ski brands make a womens ski, check them out


For the brother the wall seems like a solid choice, especially if he is going to continue progressing into the park
