girls skis do have a purpose for all of you who don't see the point of all the girl ski-market. only 10% of the girls can actually flex forward the same way a guy can, because of the bones that are in place to acommodate a baby, so they tend to lean back when they flex, putting them in a backseat position, wich any skier would know is the worst position you can ski. The companies like rossi/dynastar were the first to come out with a ski that it's binding plate was moved forward a bit, and the heel is lifted also, so that it pushes the girl forward to adopt a real ski stance, and if they still can't, well at least they're not set too far back. now I don't know if Line is going to use the same principle to accomodate the girl's line of skis, but for any other ski, for sure there is a difference between a girl's and a guy's ski. And like some of the previous posts, flex is also a major player for skis. if a girl weights in at 100 pounds, no way she can flex a man's ski, so the the same kind of ski, the women's will usually be softer, because they won't have the power to carve the ski if the companies leave the same core
