Suggest some short-fat skis

[sar13]

Some more great suggestions. Thanks!

Regarding size: If these were going to be Village skis mounted with alpine binders and skied with big boots I think the 180 Ruby or 176 Goat would be great. She rips (IMVHO) on her 174 Phat Luvs and would enjoy the stability of these skis.

However, the niche I am trying to fill is a bc tele ski. I'll probably mount Voile Switchbacks and she has 3 buckle T2s. She handled my 180s fine but they weren't ideal for every day bc skiing, so the idea here is not to find the biggest ski she can handle but to find the most fun ski for deep, soft snow.

Keep the ideas coming. I think the Pika might be the winner so far.

I'd really say check out Icelantics. They're making some solid skis that seem pretty wicked light.... Plus, I love how they feel with the tele turn...

Not sure if anyone has said it yet but the Raven is not coming out this season so you will have to look to other options

Edit to say great choice on the Binding as the Switchbacks are AMAZING!!!!

Which Icelantics did you have? I'm seriously considering getting the Pilgrims for my GF. The problem is the 169 is probably too long, she's about 5'4" 135 or so and on the tentative side in the woods although getting better quickly. I'm torn about the 151s, I think I skied 150s when I was about 8, but everyone seems to think that most of the Icelantics you need to go short on. I'm just curious if that applies as well for the Pilgrims given that they're narrower than the rest. If they had a 160 I'd be all over that...
