Whassup boogers. My dear mother is in the market for new skis. I have been making a list of stuff that she should try, I'll get to a skill and riding style description soon. So far she tried the Blizzard Sheeva 9, Volkl blaze 88, Salomon qst lux, and the Volkl Kenja 88. Going to list here pro's and cons for each ski. Blizzard, she liked how "solid" they felt but said on flat ground they like to "walk." Blaze 88, really liked but couldn't put into words. Salomon, AGGRESSIVELY MID. Kenja 88. Heavy and lazy. I'm saying what she said. Now on to the skill stuff, she's a high intermediate, can ski all named runs at our local in Washington. (Stevens Pass.) Parallel everywhere no wedge. Adopts a slightly forward stance over her skis, not as assertive as she should be for some of the ones she tried. Yea. She also is a ski instructor so thats another thing to think about. Ye. Here is the list I made.
Salomon Stance 84
Line pandora 94/ 84
Rossignol Rallybird 92
Elan Ripstick 88
Haikthxbye (tag anyone who might have tried any of these skis.)
