ToddF Posted August 27, 2012 Share Posted August 27, 2012 My wife's ski is chipped and Scarred. So anyway who has gone from a sixam to another ski and liked it? She is has run 22 off at 34. She loves this ski, but unfortuantely most of the sixams out there are probably in just as used shape as hers. And I hate to spend money for the same used ski. Anyone who has switched and has advice Thanks so much. Todd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller Ed_Johnson Posted August 27, 2012 Baller Share Posted August 27, 2012 If you liked the Sixam, then you will Love the AM33. The apple doesn't fall far from the tree !!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Horton Posted August 27, 2012 Administrators Share Posted August 27, 2012 Sixam 2 is a very stable ski. I would demo D3 X7 or HO S2. Both of these skis are super user friendly at all speeds.

TNh2oskier Posted August 27, 2012 Share Posted August 27, 2012 I was on sixam 2 and moved to a radar strada, easy transition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller Razorskier1 Posted August 27, 2012 Baller Share Posted August 27, 2012 @Horton -- same question! My wife skied the course then quit. She is now skiing it again. Technically very sound skier from all of her open water work where I coach her just like I would in the course. She is about 120lbs, 5'2" and is skiing my son's old Sixam 2 point (65 inches long and in great shape -- @ToddF -- if we get her something new and it fits your wife we could sell it). She is just starting back in at 28mph 15 off, but should be up to 30 and 32 relatively soon. 32 will soon be her max speed. Leave her on the 2 point or put her on something new? She seems to want something new maybe more than needs something new, btw. Her birthday is in a week, so this might be good for the marriage! What size? What ski?

Administrators Horton Posted August 27, 2012 Administrators Share Posted August 27, 2012 @Razorskier1 is she generally centered on the ski? Or does she drop her hips? (please note: I did not ask if she was stacked) Goode ★ HO Syndicate ★ KD Skis ★ MasterCraft ★ PerfSki Radar ★ Reflex ★ S Lines ★ Stokes Drop a dime in the can Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller Razorskier1 Posted August 27, 2012 Baller Share Posted August 27, 2012 @Horton -- she uses the hip drop with level head and shoulders. Glad you clarified the stacked question! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller Razorskier1 Posted August 28, 2012 Baller Share Posted August 28, 2012 @Horton -- any ideas? I need to order soon if I'm going to get something for her birthday next Tuesday. I can probably get pretty good pricing from my dealer on Radar, HO, or Connelly if any of those seem suitable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller Ed_Johnson Posted August 28, 2012 Baller Share Posted August 28, 2012 I know you can't go wrong with the S2, since it is so easy and forgiving to ski on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baller Razorskier1 Posted August 30, 2012 Baller Share Posted August 30, 2012 @6balls e-mailed me last night with this suggestion -- hey, brother, order her an N1! You get 30 days and its one size fits all. Of course, he says, I might come over and put my bindings on it a couple of times . . . Hmmm. Some friend he is!
