Ok, ill finally come out that I am a guy, yet i ski on line shadows.  yes, the womens ski with flowers on it.  Light, flexible, usually alot cheaper than guys skis, just the graphics can be a turn off.  Are there any other brave males that openly will say that they ski on women's skis?

how much did it cost? because line makes some pretty cheap [mens] skis also.


and there was a thread where a kid repainted, or like colored, his top sheets. i would do that. you could make it something really cool. if i could find the thread i would. i'm sure you could find out how to do it pretty easily

i got the shadows for like $100 last season.  i was orginally looking at invaders, but the sizing was off.  thanks for the tip on painting, i'd never thought of that +k

All male and female versions of the same ski from Moment are identical. Only difference is the length. For instance, Regans are the same as Night Trains, Ruby the same as Pika, Tahoe the same as Sierra, etc.

exactly.  if womens skis come in a length that suits someone best, then they should go right ahead and get them

#1. they cost $68 brand new on thedailysteal.com

#2 they are the exact same ski as the old seth pistol

#3 i did paint the top sheets to not be "obviously" on a girls ski

if you think about it, would it really be all that noticable if someone shredded a slopestyle runs on skiis with womens graphics as opposed to mens graphics?

i skied the womens equivalent of the salomon threat last spring for 1 run, only because i broke my salomon threats and the only way to get home was to get my feet on a piar of skis. i was made fun of the whole 10 min ski home, from waiting to get on the lift, to getting shit from 10 year old gapers.

worst experience of my life
