Pros
- Lots of float
- Stability
Cons
Best Uses
- Powder
This ski is the perfect powder ski! I was using the DarkSides as my pow ski, but being 5'3- 105 lbs it was just a little bit too much for me to handle. I am so glad that they created this ski for women! It floats just as good as the DarkSide but is much more manageable for the ladies. I have used this ski on many powder days and find that I can ski on it all day, even as the snow gets chopped up, and I don't get tired. I will even take it up to AK for heli-skiing as I know it will do the job! (although the Darkside are pretty nice for pure pow too!)
Pros
- Ease
- Stability
- Versatile
- Width
Cons
Best Uses
- Crud
- Park
- Powder
- Shmoo
- Soft bumps
At 117 underfoot, the K2 MissDirected is one of the (or is it THE?) widest women's-specific skis on the market. Ladies, don't be alarmed! Width actually adds stability, and you'll be impressed with how easy this ski is, whether you have two new or it's blower over the head. In fact, the width is super-versatile for crud skiing or spring shmoo, and the powder rocker profile with a touch of camber underfoot provides an easy-turning platform for soft bumps that can also take you to the park. If you're used to riding men's skis because they offer the girth you're looking for, the MissDirected won't disappoint - it is the perfect marriage between increased surface area and the lower swing weight that women's skis are noted for. Go big. You won't want to go home.
Pros
- Smooth turns in deep
Cons
Best Uses
I had to simply stand up and trust the ski. The day before I had fallen on an ice rink, subluxed a rib, and could not roll over in bed or lift my right arm above my head, but NO WAY would I miss a heli day. I could not afford to fall, but if I sat back my legs (at age 58) would be toast. Almost 30,000 vertical feet later (and maximal ibuprofen), in mostly good snow (some face shots), with bits of heavier wet stuff, I was still standing (and smiling!) The skis calmly handled everything they encountered, and kept me from taking any headers.
Pros
- Awesome powder ski
- Great for Big powder days
- Light and responsive
- Very playful
Cons
- I had to give them back
- They were not mine
Best Uses
- Big fat powder days
- Highland bowl days
- Silverton days
This is the best ski i have tried this season. Took them to Silverton for a 24" powder day and lead the pack. They are so playful yet aggressive when needed. Love the graphics too - couldn't stop smiling the days I have been on these ski's - THEY ROCKED MY WORLD!
