I'm looking for a ski for my tiny wife to follow me into the wild unknown. I've noticed the women specific market is growing. Would a smaller size XCD Guide suffice for my wife or would she be more comforable and have better control on a women specific cross coutry ski? I haven't found any women specific cross country skis that are comparable to the XCD Guide in perfomance characteristics (half tele / half cross country). Any ideas?

There are no other skis out there like the XCD Guide (men's or women's skis that fat and waxless), but a smaller XCD Guide would definitely suffice. For our women's telemark and AT skis, we use the Greenlight Core with our Die-Cut Titanal for a solid ski that's a little lighter and quicker edge-to-edge. All of our XCD skis already use the Greenlight Core to keep the weight down, so you would really look to the sizing (down to 165cm for the Guide) and the mounting position (we have three suggested mounting points to accomodate differently-sized feet) for an optimal fit for your wife.
