Light weight on a Bro
I have been seriously thinking of getting a Bro. All the advice and information I've come accross has me leaning toward the new production of the softer bro in a 174.
I'm 5'6 at 120 lbs, and have skis in my quiver that range from 64 in the waist up to 94 in the waist.
Thanks to some awesome advice from this group when I bought my Karmas, I experienced my love of a midfat ski. Now, I am finding myself going wider in the waist all the time, while my own waist is staying the same.
Do I need the Bro? No
Do I want the Bro? Uh huh!
All the advice I've gotten so far has been:
I'm heavier than you and I ski a 179, so a 174 would be fine.
Is there anyone my size on a Bro?
I'm not scared of it, in fact I'm almost aroused by the idea of it, but I'm curious about light weights like me on this ski.
I'll be at ABasin the weekend of January 25th and was told I should try to hook up a demo with marshalolson. I'd really like to do that!Last edited by SnowHot; 01-08-2008 at 06:54 AM.

I will not admit nor deny that there are any naked pics.
As for bklyn, I've chatted with her a bit. She is one of those who've said she's not as light as I am. I'm hoping to hook up with her on one of my trips to Colorado this winter.
Another question? If I buy these, will I lose my fear of jumping off cliffs?Sometimes you have to let your bad self ski...

All other factors considered, even if you are really lightweight, I would suggest 2 BROs... It's just easier that way.

I hear they sell them two for the price of one! That's a bargain!!! Can't pass up a bargain!
The alternative being "out" not up?
Thank goodness MY waist has not grown at the same rate as my Quiver Waist!
Whew!
Splat, When do you think the soft run will be in? I've kinda got my heart set on a 174 Soft.Sometimes you have to let your bad self ski...

I REALLY like this woman, she has what it takes to join the Brosse, well, as soon as we get some sort of pics of her for-verification purposes of course.
Our world is full of surrender at the first sign of adversity, do not give up when the challenge meets you, meet the challenge. Through perseverance comes the rewards, the rewards that make life so enjoyable.
Seize the day, trusting little in the future.
if you want something, go after it. if you want to screw someone over, look DEEP in your heart and realize Karma is a bitch

I have been asked some questions as to my intent with these via pm and would like to avoid repeating myself. so here goes
I have the Bluehouse MR171. Its awesome for turn shape and float, but such a noodle I'm not sure it would hold up in the crud. I'm thinking I'd like the Bro Soft because it would be stiffer than the Bluehouse, yet softer than the stiff, which I hear is VERY stiff.
I'll be skiing these occasionally in Michigan, but also have a season pass to Abasin and will likely take them out there.Sometimes you have to let your bad self ski...

Satisfy your desire and just get them. You sound like you can handle them.
