    Female Ski Suggetions

    Need to get a pair of skis for my girlfriend to get her on the slopes this winter. I am uninspired by what I have seen, so I would love some suggestions for a fun ski. She hasn't skied since she was younger, but is an above average athlete so I expect her to be a solid intermediate soon. East coast skiing, so groomers with off piste crud. Thanks.

    Sounds like she should get green ones. Perhaps move to red in a couple of seasons.

    Avoid blue.

    Ham and cheese. And invest in quality bindings.

    Billy Goats with FKS 180s.

    Or, I hear the Phat Luv is another great ski.

    No, no, Jesus. After half a season she's obviously going to want to tour. So, Lotus 120 Pures with Beasts are the clear choice.

    Kiku is pretty stiff for a person whose bf thinks she will *become* an intermediate after skiing this season.

    Standard advice: find a good boot fitter and get her good boots. She can rent skis the first season - she'll outgrow whatever she starts on quickly, anyway.

    This is good advice, but it really is pretty tough to answer these questions without naked pics. You're doing yourself- well, her, actually- a disservice unless you post.

    TGR is essentially Beavis & Butthead on skis.
    If you need to advance beyond the knuckle-dragger pre-teen / post-teen dialogue at TGN, I suggest to visit Epic Ski Forum where you will get some quality responses on your inquiry. There will be no obligation there to post naked pics of your GF.

    It's ok... he's Canadian... they're nicer up there. Our ways must be jarring.

    I'm still waiting to hear from this thread how exactly one determines the sex of their skis, and whether I may have accidentally ridden male (instead of female ones) all along...!

    Is it like baby turtles? Or kittens? Do you just turn the ski over and squint really hard looking for parts?
