I can get a deal on a few different skis and now I'm not sure which ones I want. I've never tried them, but I don't have the option to wait for snow and demo days if I want the deal.
I'm gonna break down my skier type and my ski choices and if you have some input to offer I'd dig it.
Female skier, level 2 ski instructor for 5 years. I'm 5'5" and about 130lbs (now this just sounds like a personal ad). I spend most of my time in powder and trees. Just started getting my rad on a bit more last year working at Revy. This year my home mountain will be Kicking Horse with a fair amount of time spent exploring the slack country and hiding out in Rogers Pass. I ride fairly aggressively, not so pretty and technical all the time though. I want to ride harder, go bigger and drop from a wee bit higher this winter, and I'm looking for the ski to take me there. Not too stiff, but not soft.
So I'm looking at:
168 4frnt VCT169 Faction Alias161 or 169 Nordica Enforcers
Any thoughts?
 
i'd say 169 faction alias is the ticket out of those 3, prolly the best for kicking horses condition, not super fat ,rockered tip, semi stiff flex great for the shoots/the pow and not to much girth for the hellish lower half of the mountain

Girl, I'd say get down to Darkside and pick up a pair of Factions. Those things are going to be sick this year..
