Hey! I'm looking to get a new pair of skis for this winter bc my old pair just did not feel right last winter. I am 6 feet tall and only weigh 125 pounds. My problem was that I couldn't find a ski that was light enough for me. My old skis are the 2017 moment frankenskis. I want something around 100-100 mm that are great for all mountain skiing. You guys have any suggestions?

Full Tilts


actual answer, the '17 nordica womens series actually has a bunch of super dope freeride skis. the Santa Ana are 100, rockered and pretty soft so are a super playful ski that someone your weight can definitely throw around. idk about the La Niñas but they also look sick

I really recomend line supernatural! Just bought a pair myself and i must say it is an ultimate ski, maybe it is a little bit too heavy but you should check them out

Ah, kinda feel like a dick now but in that case faction 1.0's are crazy light. I had a pair last season, they were not my favorite skis although they were insanely light.
