What Size Ski would you put a Woman on?
Chris and Wade, My girlfriend announced that she wanted to start skiing with us a few weeks ago. She's very athletic and picked up wakeboarding with ease earlier in the summer. A few weeks ago, I put the boom out, pulled her up, and let her ride beside the boat, but she's never done a deepwater start on a slalom yet. So, what is a good choice of a ski to put her on? I'm wanting to get her something that she can learn and improve on and start running the course, but not something too radical. Is there really a reason to put her on one of the women's skis like the Lyric, SP, etc? Or is that just marketing hype with pretty colors? I'm tempted to get a Senate for her. But the Lyric can be had for peanuts right now. Thoughts? Thanks

Radar Lyric is perfect. It is based off the Radar Senate but with a flex pattern designed for lighter skiers. For boot, try the Radar Rail front with the toe loop option. Check out radarskis.com for more info.

My wife is on an old Goode 9100 with RS 1 front and rtp. She skis the course at 28 mph full pass occasionally. Is this ski OK for her or would she benefit from a ski like the lyric better until she progresses to top speed.
