My wife has been using her mom's ski forever (63" Jobe Open Class) and wants her own now. This ski is likely small for her but she knows and loves it so now I'm looking for suggestions on one for her. We don't ski alot (and all recreational, no competition) so probably don't want a premium ski. Any suggestions/advice? None of the places around us (Memphis-Pickwick, TN) demo skis.

 

Thanks!

I rode a 20+ yr old '67 Jobe Open Class until the front binding fell apart mid-carve two years ago. The '13 Radar Senate-C I bought to replace it feels much more aggressive. Lyric, Triumph, or equivalent non-carbon fiber skis from other companies would be a great replacement. Something a little wide would probably be most fun and still turn as well as or better than that old Jobe.

 

My friend has an '06 or so Connelly F1X that feels very similar to my old Jobe in recreational open water conditions.

I am not sure I would worry about it but that thing looks worked.

 

The new Radar Senate C can be had for under $700 and is a better ski than that old Z7
