looking for light, small, soft ski. HELP

[mntlion]

A cougar friend of mine is looking for a new AT ski
she is #100 and 5'0" int skier, bad back

She has a 165 volkl snowwolf with dynafits now (2.5ish kg) and wants something as light, similar dimensions, just shorter and soft flex. This is not a rado race ski for her, but a touring/powder ski. 70-80mm waist ski is all she needs as she is so small that will give her enough float.

thinking of the dynafits, trabs or voili from this list, but not sure what will be soft for powder, not stiff for rando racing.

was thinking of the Volkl Mountain Norbert Joos, that showed on gear swap, but need soft.

can you guys shed some light on this please?

I'm not limited to only the TP site, but if the ski is on sale, great

ski trabs.

like their freerandos maybe?

2nd the free rando suggestion. Nice soft shovel on those.

TM:X's/Kongur should fit the bill as well

Edit: Just saw that you already saw the joos.

What about Carbon Surfs? Those seemed soft when I tried a pair. Maybe a little wider than you are looking for.

there was a euro AT version of the Fischer 75s, called the 7500s or something like that. T-P had em at one point, you might be able to find them for REALLY cheap. 75mm underfoot, lengths every 5 cm's, and quite light.

carbon surf is muy soft

Fischer Maunga's- 159cm 121-84-109 light, soft, and only $200 brand new on ebay.

Sierra Trading psot has a few that might work as well; including the Norbert. Anyone know anything about the Atomic Diran?

Not sure they are light enough, but how about a 165 Pocket Rocket?

[mntlion]

pocket rockets, K2's and atomics are all more thne 2.5kg a pair I think

also looking for 80mm max.

I'll hunt for the Fischer Maunga and see

thanks guys, keep ideas coming

what about dynafit FT8, cheap on the TP site?

A friend skis 163 atomic mx15. I think its about 2.5 kg, she weighs about 110 and is not a particularly experienced or burly skier. She likes them, they have a nice softish flex. 115-80-?? dimensions. Not sure where the best place to find them is, but they seem quite obscure so if they show up on ebay they go cheap. I scored some new 181s for $100, passed them on to a needy skier
