    WTB: "Cute" powder ski for the wife, thinking 150-160cm

    EDIT: Looking for a pair of skis, preferably... not just one.

    Looking for a pair of pow skis for the Mrs. so she can better enjoy powder days. She's a pretty non-aggressive skier but I want something that she won't grow out of. Ideal would be with bindings that fit a 24.5 boot (not 100% sure of BSL but I can check.)

    Must be "cute." And she has expensive taste. But her taste does not match my wallet. What's available, out there?

    Price should be shipped-to-Bozeman, unless someone local has something that would work.

    I was looking for something similar and the Shiro is 153cm, 100mm underfoot: https://www.coloradoskishop.com/Volk...6-p/115450.htm

    The Line SFB Shorty is 155cm, 107mm underfoot: https://www.untracked.com/p6235c102b...ml#chsku549990

    These both look like great options, thanks... I know the SFB's were really popular at Snowbird. Now we'll be skiing Big Sky, so a very similar flavor of skiing. Thanks for sharing the links...

    Still curious what might be out there from the maggot collective?

    More evo deals out there, including the Volkl 90eight W and Atomic Backland FR102 W. Not sure if either are "cute" enough, or if your lady is aggressive enough.

    Definitely not "cute", but maybe could get some vinyl wrap and apply as a "custom" topsheet?

    I would endorse the JJJ. My wife has those and has really liked them. She's also not real aggressive but is a decent skier. At 5'3" and less than 95 lbs, a junior ski made good sense for her.
