Mrs Jonski:

Very lonely. But once we leave Aus behind and headback to Euroland, she (currently) wants 176 gotamas. Sure it'll something even fatter by next season when we go!!
am still looking for new skis for this winter. currently old head iM85 in 186 with teletouring set up. want something slightly wider & a lot lighter. suggestions?
and some short fischer whatever slalom skis w/ alpine bindings i keep in case i end up working in a skischool this year.
My new stuff: 177 Fischer Kehuas with Naxo nx21 (plus new BD skins, can't wait to try that little lot and see what all of this touring lark is about)
My old faithfuls:
170 W105s with Salomon 900s bindings
170 public enemies with Rossi scratch bindings
Tried some B3's at the Zermatt skitest weekend. That's a great ski!
Tri and I DEMAND it be done.Quote:

Damn it... I hate to ask... but are you all big girls? I don't mean this in a bad way, I know must world-class skiers are much bigger than I am... I just can't imagine skiing on 170+ anything (and it seems like you all do!)
Thank you, Twins, for letting me know that I'm not too crazy with my little skis.Quote:

She is very petite/size does matter in this case anyways,heh.
I got big thighs and a big heart, but I don't think I could handle anything that long (at least not on my feet)...

It's called....I was blessed with big, muscley thighs that need a longer ski with that power I have. Anything shorter for me and I feel like I'm going over the handle bars per say.
I don't know any other way to describe it.
Maybe not all... :smile:Quote:

I have seen some of these girls ski, and they charge like guys. They need the longer lengths.Quote:

I am rather kid-sized and very light weight (115 lb). So it's inherently difficult for me to flex certain types of skis. Also, I tend to go w/ shorter lengths b/c I am 5'3". No matter how hard I trained, and good I got, I think I'd have a tough time skiing something over 170.
But that's not even an issue because I'm a total klutz on skis. No worries here though, I'm only in it to have a good time, enjoy the experience, and connect with the mountain...which I do, quite literally on many occasions!;)

Edit: I think my k2 fugatives are 159

Ashley! Good to see you around here again! How's the peeing in the pants problem? Any progress?
Mrs. GM:
158 Salomon Hots

Looking for another ski for all mountain. At 100 lbs., I might as well get her some juniors.
Nice split Demolition Woman! I would love to know what you think of it. I haven't been able to stray from NS since the mid 90s.Quote:

Maybe you could sent them down to Orlando for retirement. They could chill out on the beach, maybe meet a nice water ski....Quote:

Oh, and I had this crazy idea now that I want some Rossi's...like Kellie was debating.
Mrs. Comish
175 Head Monster 88's (she loves these)
173 Sugar Daddy's (she hasn't felt the love, but they are mounted too far back)
170 W105's, unmounted as yet
17x Head Monster 85's
She is 5'9 and skis pretty dang well. she has also hated anything she has been on that is <170cm. She disagrees about the small ski thing being pushed by the companies.

Rossi's? Come on altachic....stick with the Volkls (dont listen to Kellie).
Oh, I already have the Gotama's, I just want another pair....of Rossi's!
158 Karhu Jils (bc & big pow days)
160 K2 shes piste (days where it hasn't snowed in while)
160 B3's when I want some bonding action
I'm 5'7" and 145 lbs. Whenever I write my weight on the form for setting my bindings, the shop guys always ask me if I made a mistake. They say "Come on, you can't possibly weigh that much. You're like 120, right?"Quote:

I agee with altachic, 140 isn't big or even medium big for a woman who's 5'6". It's strong and healthy.
End highjack.

Volkl is a great ski company too but there is no need to stick to one brand. Like eating the same cereal every morning.
Asandygal- I'm 5'9 with big skier girl legs and have been on skis since I could walk. I need a big ski otherwise it's just not fun, but I don't like them too long either. It all comes down to what you ski the best on.
Agreed for sure.Quote:

I don't like the increasing push to put people on shorter and shorter skis, but other than that its really all about what lets you ski the way you want to.

I didnt say there was a relationship between size and ability, just that I like "skier girls" which stereotypically means strong legs and buttocks. :) At 6'4" 215, I am not afraid of a strong woman. (still being defensive in case my lovely wife reads).Quote:

Fischer Big Stix from '03 are now my rocks skis.
I don't know why 120 is the magic number - whether you're 5'1" or 6'1" most guys seem to think you'll weigh 120 if you look fit. It makes no sense.Quote:

Don't get me wrong, I love all shapes, I just had to defend the skinny minnies out there.
