As Lynn mentioned in another post, she's keeping her eyes open for past years skis to replace her Every Thangs (72mm waist) with something less than 70mm.
The following are thoughts that I think describe her skiing.
1. At Harb camps she is typically assessed/selected for one of the upper groups, so she has pretty solid skills. At the same time, she is continually encouraged to ski faster and not be so deliberate in her turns.
2. A typical day at Sugarbush will include some time spent working on drills on the groomed snow, but will also include a couple of runs down CastleRock or MiddleEarth, deservedly black bump runs (with interspersed rocks and blue ice).? At some point during the day, she will be drawn magnetically into the trees as well.? Another 10% of her day will be spent in agony, trying to stretch the cramps in the arches of her feet.
3. The Every Thang is pretty versatile and works pretty well for her, but is a little bit stiff in the trees.? The only complaint with her older iC160 was that she had gotten fast enough that the tip often chattered.
4. So she's not looking for a high speed, hard snow carver.? She's looking for a narrow waisted ski with lots of versatility that will facilitate doing drills but be solid enough for those rare times when she decides to fly.
5. Her ski lengths are typically in the mid 150's.
Solicitating suggestions.? OHHH - and deals are mandatory - She put up with those old boots forever waiting for a deal on the selected new boot.
