Want To Buy Womens/girls skis

[Nelliefj40]

My 13 year old needs new to her skis. Nkt sure of it matters but she's about 5 foot 2 and 100 pounds. Excellent groomer skier. Has been skiing on youth slalom skis the last few years with her informal youth ski development team.

She'd like more of an all mountain ski as she wants to venture some off groomers when going out west. Definitely still want more of a front side oriented ski still as the majority of time is like to be on groomed terrain. Thinking no wider than 85 and something upper 70s width might be better.

She wears a mondo 24.5 boot. Would prefer something with bindings.

We're located in central Iowa.

I have a pair of Kastle MX 70s at 152. Bought them new from a shop going out of business, installed the included bindings, and skied them two days. Too short for me. So they are like new.

PM me if you are interested.

 

[Nelliefj40]

PM sent. Thanks @LiquidFeet

Certainly interested in anything else anyone might have.

Are her boots Gripwalk?

 

[Nelliefj40]

@cantunamunch nope her boots are not. Standard ISO 5355 boots.

I had to look this up!

Thanks.

 

[cantunamunch]

That opens up the field of possible bindings

Get the Kastle!
Or go on eBay and look up DPS. There are a few good new options for about 249-299

That MX is a lot of ski for a 100lb'er.

Heck I hadn't even considered the light weight. DPS might be burly at that weight. My daughter is on DPS Uschi 85 or so at I think 163. She was 120 last Christmas when she was skiing but she skied those also at Killington spring of 2021 and must have been 100 at that point. Your just might do well on DPS. Lemme look up a pair.


Edit.
Well I guess they're sold out of the ones I've been looking at for over a year. If I see any online I'll pop back in. Great skis.

Asogear has some left over's from last year and some really old stuff.....I do believe they ship to the states. Last years Head Joy and Volkl Flairs with bindings. Those $$ are Cdn, so take 30% off.

Thank you all for the continued thoughts. I was strongly considering the mxs but appreciate the concern regarding weight. She's a touch heavier than I thought (105) but nothing significant.

I'll check out some of the options posted but I do think she could use a more substantial ski than something like the flair as they appear to more beginner friendly?

Thanks!

There were some Rossi Experiences on that site too.
We need some help from the lighter ladies here....

 

[Tricia]

We have a lot of women on the site who are smaller and may have something to offer.
@Pat AKA mustski @laine @Pequenita .....

If they don't have used skis available, perhaps they know of some.

I’m 130 lbs so substantially heavier, but I’m wondering about the Wild Belles. My understanding is the newer versions are very similar to the Hells Belles I used to have and they were super friendly. I also wonder about the Kastle PX 81. @Tricia - how does that model ski? I was looking into that one for my DIL and thought it sounded like a good fit for a light weight, progressing skier. I love my older model LX 73… it’s stupid easy to ski. I never tried the LX85 so I don’t know if it’s light and easy also.

That LX series was great, including the short lived LX94. The new PX skis are the spiritual successors.

I also wonder about the Kastle PX 81. @Tricia - how does that model ski?

Since I have spent a bit more time on it than Tricia...

 

[Tricia]

I've skied it a bit.
Its more nimble than the MX for sure.

I skied the PX81 at Mt. Rose last spring. It’s an easy ski and very intuitive. I found, for me, that I preferred something a tad more beefy at that width. But I’m taller and heavier than you.

@tinymoose is around your daughter’s size and is an excellent carver.Her all-mountain skis are the Volkl Yumis, and she skis GREAT on them. They might be a really good option. She also demoed some all-mountain skis last winter and may have some more insights.

I think @SkiBam has/had the Yumi's too.

Yes, I do. Bought them a few years ago and love them a lot - have the 148. I'm about 105 lbs and I think they're a great ski for a light, advanced woman. I also have Head Super Joys for hard-packed conditions when you really want to carve. This is another great ski for a lightweight, in my opinion.
