By Howard Worton Ranked #494 - Alpine Skiing April 2, 2009

So there we were, Solitude, Utah and a big storm hammering the mountain. My wife, however was low on confidence on her 154cm Rossi Attraxion VI Skis. She took a fall in low light and we sat in the lodge feeling down. I managed to convince her to try some longer, fatter skis and these are what she ended up with. The change was amazing - these were the first fats she had ever skied and she wondered whether she could handle them - I think they were 167s and had been skiing short carvers for the past couple of years. By the time the lifts stopped running we'd had a terrific day and these skis were largely responsible. They are heavy - I carried them to the car ! - but this helped her(she usually hates heavy skis) and power through just about everything - it was mostly 12" of powder/chowder. When she hit the groomers they seemed to hold an edge perfectly well also. If she could've found them at a better price then I reckon she'd have bought them....
