Hey Ladies

Truly, go over to SkiDiva (www.theskidiva.com) and do a search on the comments about the Aura. Historically, I have HATED "women's skis". This ski I like. A lot. Siblet rocking the trees, April of last year. 2008April.jpg

 

Siblet and I ski a LOT different. She's got a race background, started skiing when she was three. I learned in my 20's and have 35 years of bad habits and different ski techniques cluttering my technique. I'm timid. She's not. If we BOTH like the SAME ski, that means it'll appeal to a broad spectrum of people. She HATES my K2's, for instance. I like a damp ski, she likes a lively ski.

dont know anything about the aura but women's skis in general seem to be comin up a few notches in the game.

roxy's version of the BT's seem really fun like trev said. and last year the ARW actually tested higher then the ar6 in freeskier. more people liked the arw i guess.

We went to Boulder Ski Deals gear blow out today and she picked up a pair Fisher Muangas. It gives her 84 under foot for 270 bucks. I know a lot of you think she should go fatter, but she is new to fat skis, and has a lot of learning to do yet as far as trees/out west skiing goes. I think they will be great for her for a year or two, and for the price we were both fine with that. Once she gets stronger and wants to push things further I told her we'd find a pair of Auras or comparable. Either way we are both stoked on her new sticks, especially considering the price. And Sib, I hear ya for sure on the Auras, they look so sick. Gwen is no siblet though. She never raced, just has skied most of her life. So she is solid, but WAY more conservative in terms of skiing then Siblet. She'll be there soon though.

 

In addition I got all new outerwear. Special Blend pants and jacket that would have retailed for a total of 525 with tax for 151 with tax. So the tent sale was a huge success. Glenn, Sam would be so proud of my outerwear purchase... I decided to rebel against the new tight stuff by going bigger then ever, haha.

length?

159. So she is only 1cm shorter then what she already has. So I think it is going to be an easy transistion for her.

 

 

Still pretty steezy..I like the retro look..I wish there were tent sales here..

That was honestly the best tent sale I have ever seen. Everything in the tent was 79.99 and under. Even skis with bindings. I got my jacket for 69.99, and my pants for 69.99.

Finally found the FisCher MAUnga. Did you look up reviews on these things? Edited by sibhusky

Reviews were slightly hard to find. The ones I did find though pretty much said they are a built really solid, and are pretty solid all over the mountain. They did say they aren't all too great in the park or in moguls, but that is fine for her.

 

They look pretty cool too, and being 2 graphic designers that means a lot to us, haha:
