Powder Ski Sizing for Women

[JayB]

Considering the Salomon Scarlet for my wife, but not sure if the 154 or 164 would be the better size.

 

Ski Dimensions are:

 

154: 130/90/122

164: 130/94/123

 

Wife's dimensions are 5 four and a half, ~120-125 lbs. I'd classify her skill level as advanced intermediate at this point.

 

Recommendations for other women's all mountain fat skis (especially those that behave well on hardpack) would be welcome.

 

Many thanks.

Considering this one for the GF.

for a true powder board fatter would likely be better. length wise perhaps the shorter, depending on agressiveness?

 

some of the K2s - Phat Luv or whatever?

Ed'sPans tried out the Aura's at Meadows last week and LOVED them. She wound up ordering some Fischer Rangi's based on her experience. There was a really good deal on them at spadout last week, <$200, but they may be all gone now.

Decided to go with the 154's in the Scarlets since we found a pair of those for ~$250. Will report back after the Mammoth trip in a couple of weeks.

 

Thanks for the feedback.
