Light weight on a Bro

[SnowHot]

I have been seriously thinking of getting a Bro. All the advice and information I've come accross has me leaning toward the new production of the softer bro in a 174.

I'm 5'6 at 120 lbs, and have skis in my quiver that range from 64 in the waist up to 94 in the waist.

Thanks to some awesome advice from this group when I bought my Karmas, I experienced my love of a midfat ski. Now, I am finding myself going wider in the waist all the time, while my own waist is staying the same.

Do I need the Bro? No
Do I want the Bro? Uh huh!

All the advice I've gotten so far has been:
I'm heavier than you and I ski a 179, so a 174 would be fine.

Is there anyone my size on a Bro?
I'm not scared of it, in fact I'm almost aroused by the idea of it, but I'm curious about light weights like me on this ski.

I'll be at ABasin the weekend of January 25th and was told I should try to hook up a demo with marshalolson. I'd really like to do that!

That's what she said.

But it's hard to tell without naked pics.






(And I presume you mean, other than bklyn, who already chimed in on Epic.)

I will not admit nor deny that there are any naked pics.

As for bklyn, I've chatted with her a bit. She is one of those who've said she's not as light as I am. I'm hoping to hook up with her on one of my trips to Colorado this winter.

Another question? If I buy these, will I lose my fear of jumping off cliffs?

[The Dad]

If I buy these, will I lose my fear of jumping off cliffs?

Is that something you really want to lose?

Regardless, owning two pairs of 188s hasn't cured me of that fear, so it seems unlikely.

Hmmmm, I'm comfy with 4'ish drops and would like to advance from that, but you are correct that losing the fear of cliffs is probably not wise at my age.
Do I have to grow up?

Damn..There's this chick on Epic asking the same thing...

ya don't say?
I'd bet she looks a lot like me, poor thing.

All other factors considered, even if you are really lightweight, I would suggest 2 BROs... It's just easier that way.

[splat]

All you need to figure out is how soon you need them delivered, girl.

Got a pair here with your name on them.

uh, what's your name???

[The Dad]

Do I have to grow up?

Not necessarily.

But I understand that most people prefer it to the alternative.

I hear they sell them two for the price of one! That's a bargain!!! Can't pass up a bargain!

Not necessarily.

But I understand that most people prefer it to the alternative.

The alternative being "out" not up?
Thank goodness MY waist has not grown at the same rate as my Quiver Waist!
Whew!

Splat, When do you think the soft run will be in? I've kinda got my heart set on a 174 Soft.

[The Dad]

The alternative being "out" not up?

Hardly.

The only alternative I know to growing up is dying young.

They were supposed to ship from Suisse yesterday, but I just found out they won't ship until next Wednesday.
But at least they're coming air freight.

Are we talking about skis?

[Tunco]

Are we typing with one hand?

[SnowHot]

I did say I was aroused by these skis.

This girl got the right altitude!

I REALLY like this woman, she has what it takes to join the Brosse, well, as soon as we get some sort of pics of her for-verification purposes of course.

I Have to get some Bro's!
I woke up with the "Gotta buy Ski Gear Shakes!"

[SnowHot]

I have been asked some questions as to my intent with these via pm and would like to avoid repeating myself. so here goes

I have the Bluehouse MR171. Its awesome for turn shape and float, but such a noodle I'm not sure it would hold up in the crud. I'm thinking I'd like the Bro Soft because it would be stiffer than the Bluehouse, yet softer than the stiff, which I hear is VERY stiff.
I'll be skiing these occasionally in Michigan, but also have a season pass to Abasin and will likely take them out there.

Satisfy your desire and just get them. You sound like you can handle them.

uh, what's your name???

They were supposed to ship from Suisse yesterday, but I just found out they won't ship until next Wednesday.
But at least they're coming air freight.

I have a feeling I'll have demo'd the Stiffs at Abasin before the Softs come in.
