    WTB: 165cm-ish, 105mm-ish skis for the wife

    Wife needs new skis but we didn't quite make demo day last spring and I'm LOATHE to pay new prices for anything she hasn't tried--you cuffed guys are probably familiar w/ this drill and maybe you can help me out w/ a pair your lady didn't like.
    Tired of her suffering through powder days on a 7 yo pair of Volkl Auras (read: I'm not a patient man).
    She's an expert skier but also 40yo mom who really doesn't charge any longer (love you babe).
    I'm looking for something mid-160cm, mid-100mm, rocker/camber/rocker... you know the ski, a Tahoe daily driver tending toward turning ease and softer snow. Her BSL is 295.
    Flat is fine, bindings are welcome, but 5-12ish din binders not requiring a remount are better.
    Special consideration and extra props for Moments as those are our hometown boys.

    In other words looking for a fucking unicorn (like my wife)...
    Hoping for <$350 but of course everything is negotiable...

    K2 Shredditor 112s in a 169. Currently set up with with Look PX12s for a 305 bsl. I think you could get them down to 295.

    Pictures here. Price is high because CL, hoping to get 300 out of the setup.

    Thanks! Thinking those might be just too much ski for her... Right on the edge. I'll consider them and keep this post going and see if something else comes up.

    Going to follow this thread as I'm in a similar (shit, the same.. down to the Auras) boat. The S7 is on the wide side.for us, looking more 100-105, and obviously the OP has dibs. But keep em coming!

    Some beta for you...
    Wife skied the Moment Bella 172 on Saturday and 108 underfoot was way too much ski for her for cruising around our local w/ me and the kids. Decided to flip in entirely and yesterday she went out in the Moment Sierra in 162 (95 wide)--total game changer--really easy to pivot or carve--and weren't too much work in the bumps. Trying the Sierra in 172 (99 underfoot) today as that length makes more sense given her height/weight but will probably just opt for the 162 as it seemed to be plenty stable on firm snow at the speeds she normally skis.

    You find Sierras for less than $750? That’s my wife’s top pick but I don’t want to spend $750.

    No, gotta pay to play, but she REALLY liked them and they're local boys so I'm gonna pull the trigger...
