Calling all Lady Skiers!

[errrka]

Hey! I'm doing some research about height and ski lengths, specific to females.


If you could post up how tall you are, what skis you ride/own and their lengths, like below.


5'6"
Park/Everything - Faction Ambit - 164
Park - Armada ARW - 164
All Mountain - Salomon Mynx - 166


Thanks in advance for the help!

I'll help you out on behalf of my wife, who will not be visiting this forum any time soon. She is an intermediate skier who likes blue runs and single blacks, and somehow ends up on a few double blacks due to her inconsiderate (yet very patient and supportive) husband.

5'4"
All Mountain - Volkl Aura 156

[babybear]

Cool- what is the research for? industry or school? just curious
5'6" 145lbs
4frnt EHP 179
4frnt EHP 179 (yes I love this ski)
Line Sir Francis Bacon 182 (I think the current models are 184's but mine is from a couple yrs ago)
I use these for my everyday skis so I guess they would be considered all mountain

[stuckathuntermtn]

Weight isn't important at all...

[babybear]

I was wondering that too- seems fairly integral to the length decision.
5'6" 300lbs

[butterscotch]

My wife is 5' 7".

Rock skis - some ancient, totally beat Rossi Scratch Girl BCs 160
Hard snow - Praxis Piste Jib 164
Soft snow - 4frnt CRJ 172

[Island Bay]

On behalf of my wife, who is 5'7 (guessing 125lbs), intermediate:

163 Praxis Protest carbon lay-up: Powder, corn, crud.
165 Line SFB (as of tomorrow when they arrive): Everything.

[homemadesalsa]

5'6", 135
powder skis= 171 Voile Chargers with Dynafit verticals
spring skis= 170 Volkl Nanuqs with Dynafits
area skis= 175 Volkl Gotamas with Marker Barons

5' 7 168 Ninas

Do you take ski type into consideration?

Excellent point - All you guys answering for your SOs, go ask them how much they weigh and report back. No guessing, this is for science!

[klar]

I am 183-ish cm.
My skis are:
186 countdown 7 w dynafit - touring skis
189 k2 hardside w dynafit - alternative touring skis
2 pair 190 countdown 3, from different seasons, one has dukes other has alpine bindings - for not walking much and not skiing groomers
175 elan whatever race carve consumer model - teaching, groomers
183(i think?) fischer GS race stock - icy groomers and occasional gates
200cm antiques for longboard day

those are what I use with some regularity. I own a few more

tgr's version of diversity: someone asks for women to comment and they get 3 females and 17 males answering for females.

[Skidog]

was this just a way to out all the females that participate on this board whos screennames might not let on that they are females?

Hmmmm??? Nice job OP

I read TGR occasionally, but don't post because yeah, it can be off-putting. Maggots make fun of Epicski and SkiDiva, and that's fine I guess, but omg - I can actually have a conversation at either of those places, I can get advice, and I can read them at work without images of bouncing boobs on the screen. And sadly, I am not a pro skier, as I gather everyone who posts here is required to be (tongue firmly in cheek).

I actually registered elitistbitches.com/org/net to get something off the ground that is spicier than SkiDivas but not quite so uncomfortable for (a lot of) women and gay people - but then I got lazy.

There was a time in my life when I was anxious to be seen as "one of the guys" and was willing to suck up all the bullshit lockerroom vibe that came with it. I got tired of it. I dip into TGR when I need an extra ski fix (right now), but for the most part, the valuable info and sick TRs aren't worth the bullshit.
