Salomon Lady is the best yet

By momazooma Ranked #358 - Alpine Skiing February 10, 2009

This ski is absolutely everything that Salomon claims it is. I am 5'3" and 123 pounds; an aggressive, all mountain skier. I ski in northern New Mexico. I decided to go with the 153cm based on past experiences with many other skis. It was the right choice. The Lady has precise edge grip on any surface, the likes of which I haven't experienced in a long time. They are tremendous in the bumps, and are steady and smooth no matter what my speed. I could not shake them loose, and I tried. One reviewer commented that these skis were "heavy feeling at slower speeds". I have not felt anything even close to "heavy" performance at lower speeds. My hunch is that the skis in the test were too long. This is a lot of ski, and the 153s are more than enough for me. I'm aware of the "rocker" effect when considering length, but they are still a LOT OF SKI. They will carve trenches if you roll them over. The ski is responsive and even lively. It's come a long way from the earlier 1080s, which are still good skis, but cannot come close to matching the edge-hold and overall performance of these.
