Waternut Posted August 31, 2014 Share Posted August 31, 2014 Trying to figure out what would be better for a woman who's been skiing for a while but is just getting into the slalom course. She's currently on a very old and very heavy HO ski from what looks to be the early 90's. Would it be smarter for her to get a women's specific ski like the Radar Lyric or Connelly SP or a men's ski like the HO Coefficient X or Radar Senate but has an adjustable fin block. I know "technically" you shouldn't need to adjust your fin at the beginner level but I also don't see this woman buying a new ski every year or two either and I kinda feel like it cripple her if she started getting better and just needs a slight fin tweak to get over the next hump.

kfennell Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 Whatever you do don't try to buy a "beginner ski" with a non adjustable fin block... Neighbour just went through like 2 years on one, got a S2 and immediately picked up 2 passes. Also make sure it's plenty big since I assume she will be running the course slow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rpc29 Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 Obrien Synchro, there's a reason April Coble stockpiles them at her ski school for people to learn to run the course on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Horton Posted September 1, 2014 Administrators Share Posted September 1, 2014 I like the Connelly stuff but do not know the SP. I think it is a lower level ski. A V is a great choice from Connelly From HO I would go with the Couture CX From Radar I would go with the the Lyric You can not go wrong with these three skis. They are all a little different but for that skiing level all will be comfortable.

Baller gsm_peter Posted September 1, 2014 Baller Share Posted September 1, 2014 My 2 cents as a sort of beginner. One progress faster on a more forgiving ski. Radar P6 or Theory are great skis learn the course. The Lyric is a softer Senate. I ski better on the Theory than I does on the Senate in lower speed. That is 28 and 30 mph. The Senate it my choise when I ride +32 (mostly free ride). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Waternut Posted September 1, 2014 Author Share Posted September 1, 2014 Why don't women's ski's short of the ultra high end ski's have adjustable fins? Not enough market or do women just not adjust their fins? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baller A_B Posted September 2, 2014 Baller Share Posted September 2, 2014 I put an adjustable fin on a P6 or my daughter and has helped. I have made adjustments based on what I see. She would not have a clue on adjusting it. Just wants to ski. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
