Fantastic ski

K2 GotBack Alpine Ski - Women's

K2 GotBack Alpine Ski - Women's

Rating for this product: 5 January 21, 2012

I bought these as an upgrade for my old Atomic backcountry skis. They are fantastic! They cut through crud, work fine on powder and are sturdy in the resort - even on ice.
Good for smaller skiers.

Yes, I just skied the 2011 model at Breckenridge in-resort and was pleasantly surprised by their sturdiness on-piste, on ice and in standard moguls.

Good control

Garmont Xena Thermo AT Boot - Women's

Garmont Xena Thermo AT Boot - Women's

Rating for this product: 4 February 1, 2011

Was nervous about the weight of this boot compared with something basic like the Scarpa Magic, but so far have been pleasantly surprised by its performance. I'd rather have the extra lbs and more control than the other way round, even in challenging, long ski-tours. Sole interchangeability is useful.

Excellent stability

Dynastar Exclusive Legend Eden Ski - Women's

Dynastar Exclusive Legend Eden Ski - Women's

Rating for this product: 4 February 1, 2011

Provides excellent stability even when on a very fast schuss. Responsive off-piste, not bad in the moguls and trees. Not the best in deep snow but if you want only one ski this isn't a bad choice.

Xen gives you the control!

Garmont Xena G-Fit Alpine Touring Ski Boot - Women's

Garmont Xena G-Fit Alpine Touring Ski Boot - Women's

Rating for this product: 5 March 3, 2008

I have had several touring boots - these ones aren't light, but they give the best control that I've tried so far, and are fine for long tours.
I skied down a 35 degree slope recently with one boot accidentally in "walk" mode and I didn't even notice because the natural stiffness and forward lean give such good control compared with lighter models. Very impressed.
