Any ladies out there skiing the Rossignol S7 Ski Women’s? Thinking about buying these, feedback? I’m 5’8, weigh 140, and live in Jackson, WY. I ski mostly on lift accessible runs, but get into the park when I can. Mostly just want a good ski for Jackson Powder days for the mountain.

Rossignol S7 Ski Women’s- Found them for $420

If you really want something that'll REALLY float swing on by sometime.

amen. people who like to ski s7's have never gotten to ride a quality pow ski. fat+rocker doesn't necessarily mean playful in pow. these things ride like a soggy 2x4

I think S7s are a decent choice. I haven't skied a pair but I've heard good things about them. Also check out Icelantic. They don't believe they make women specific pow ski but they make them all in smaller sizes. Being 5'8 and 140 pounds a 170-180 should be perfect, give or take a little.

I ski all my shit 189cm+

Then again everyone on here wants "a like totally playful pow ski for like jibbin in pow mang" so a pair of stiff S7s will be shit compared to a pair of EP Pros.

Honestly though, you can't go wrong with anything. If it's what you think is good and want, it will mostly likely do just fine. And if not, you'll find a way to ski it to make it work for you.

are you looking for a ski that crushes on pow days, that can also manage a few park laps? or you have a park ski, and you just want a fatty to slay the deep?

at your weight you dont have to go over 110 to get perfect floatation (physically, 115 underfoot floats a 200lb man above or just 2inches under the surface, which is optimal), and under 110 is going to be much better for park.

if your looking for a fatty, get a 175 VJJ and itll handle the deepest days. If you want something that will shred pow well, but also be good in the park, get a 171 on3p jeffrey. its a dude ski, and i wouldnt recommend any other on3p for a chick, but the jeffrey is definately doable at that length.

HAHAHAHAHA wut

as a female I find this statement rather insulting. my whole quiver is on3p and their skis are awesome. any chick that rips can handle them, you just have to be a good skier.
