What skis? advice?

[Ruski]

my skis (TMs 165) are fine for my lil' home mountain here in pa, but when i go to visit my brother out at Vail (like a month out of the year)im sinking on powder days i was thinking about getting shorter wider skis, any ideas? im 5 6" and 110

u should look into line clebritys, my girl demoed them and loved them. plus u could probably find last year's model for cheap

u are stupid Vail and powder do not go with Fungative

 

[poofartpee]

oh and for length i would say between 160-170...if u were debating that

word a fujative is not even close to a pow ski. i would look at the line elizabeth or the ARV. both are great for pow and they are both actually great on groomers as well. you can't lose with those.

i have seen a lot about line delamming and stuff though. the ARV is bombproof

i have 165s i was told to go shorter by a few people, around 15?s?

For powder try the 165 ARV, its super light too

I have last years Celebrity's in a 172 and I love them. I am 5'5" and weigh 120. You have to keep in mind that it is a twin tip so it actually skis like a 162 and you need the length for float.

Arv's are also awesome but buy them in a 176. Again they are twin tipped and you have the height plus they are light. They will make you ski better. Do not go 165 you will be sorry imho.

arent the k2 nancys a wide chick ski?

 

[ikellen]

Try the K2 Nancy in a 169, The Armada ARV in a 165, and also the K2 Phat Luv.

Going shorter kind of defeats the purpose of having a powder ski, in my opinion. Plus extra length helps bust through choppy snow once it gets tracked. See if you can demo some 168 Gotamas or B4's, both of those are really fun skis.
