Hey gang and thanks in advance for your thoughts! Y'all have been super helpful before in diagnosing my issue with existing skis.
I'm female / 5'8" / 150 lb
Ski mostly west coast, 1 trip per year
Occasional Vermont trip / icy or hardpack conditions
Like to ski trees, bumps, freeride
Been riding on
this combo since 2014
Thoughts:
- think they're a bit long for me, get caught up in trees, bumps at times
- require me to ski aggressively to control them, would like to do less work and have same/more fun
- too hard to get edge on bad conditions
- don't need a park ski
Considering the ripstick 88 W and Head Kore 87; hope to demo these this season @snowbasin or vail. but not sure if I can... been calling around. Think the ~162 will be better length for me.
Can I get the junior version of the Kore (cheaper) and have same experience? How about men's version of either?
Welcome your comments! Sincere thanks.
