FWIW…Both my daughters…same size…but a little older (19/20) have been on Sheeva9’s the past 2 seasons. They ski in VT/NY/PA and multiple trips out west each winter.
What do they like or dislike about it? How/where do they ski it?FWIW…Both my daughters…same size…but a little older (19/20) have been on Sheeva9’s the past 2 seasons. They ski in VT/NY/PA and multiple trips out west each winter.
My wife (5'6", 120 lb) demoed a few skis last winter and chose the Faction Dictator 1.0X (alternative/women's model). It's about 85 mm underfoot, but the Dictators come in wider widths as well. Second place was the Fischer Ranger 92 Ti (which is really 88 mm in her length), but she would have bought this one if I hadn't convinced her to try some more skis she liked it so much. Apparently the Factions were made in the Fischer factory last year to a higher quality than previous years, but not to be repeated in the coming year. I made sure she tried the infamous Black Pearls, but she did not like them at all. She wanted a more versatile ski for moguls and crud than the more East Coast frontside skis she still uses on firm days.
Rustler 9, 180.@Slim, what did she end up going with?
