I just read a little blurb on spadout.com that talked about women specific skis. The coolest part about the article was this:
Women specific skis are generally designed for lighter skiers who need a more responsive ski due to their limited body weight.
Women have limited body weight. That's awesome.
I love spadout. It's a really cool site for all kinds of outdoor things. Videos, tutorials, gear etc. I would really like to think they're not paid to recommend some gear over others, but that really remains to be seen. REI is their major sponsor so perhaps that means they're automatically biased. They have a ton of good information none-the-less.
It's definitely worth a visit..
