I've got the faction ambit and they are sooo nice, if you've got the money I would suggest them.

It all depends on what you want to use them for. Primarily park? or do some powder skiing? and where are you skiing mostly (location wise)? This will all factor in.

PM me if you have some questions

I will forever stand by the fact that if you can hold your own on skis you shouldn't need a women's ski.

I ride the Ramp skis cork 172cm. Absolutely love them. I had the option to choose from a few brands and I skied one run on these babies and was sold. They ride awesome in park and pipe, and all mountain.

My first ever pair of twinnies were womens, and I never went back. I used to ride Atomix Punx and they were so sick for park and pipe. Loved 'em. I'm on volkl Ledges now and they're a sick park ski too.

I just got the k2 missdemeanors. They are a park and pipe ski AND all mountain so the tail rises a bit slower in the back. I tried them out last season and made me feel comfortable in the park and I was able to execute!

You don't need a women's ski! A lot of them are really soft. I recommend riding skis like the Atomic Punx, I've heard that they are great. It just so happens that I am 4' 11", so I basically have to ride skis in the 145 to 150 range. Most women skis fall under this range, so I ride the Volkl Pearls from 2012. I love these skis, and they are super light! However, if I didn't get such a sick deal of those skis, I would have purchased the Ledge or Wall, other Volkl skis. Try to consider the men's options, and hopefully you you find a great pair of skis soon!

Agree with all the others out here saying that you don't need to limit yourself to women's skis. I ride Atomic Punx (sensing a theme here) and K2 Recoils for the park.

The Punx are way more poppy and fun, the Recoils are better in choppy or non ideal conditions, more stable, but they are noticeably heavier. The Recoils also do better outside of the park, and are great at charging.
