...I think the two you listed would be fine off trail.? Interesting comment about the width, because the Attraxion and the Wild Thang are plenty wide for a women's ski.? Michael has posted some physics in another thread, but because of weight differences a 74mm ski will float a 140lb person as well as an 80+mm ski for a 200lb person.? There are also some narrower waisted skis (such as Head Fast Thang) that have even narrower waists but are still rated for some off-piste capability (depends on how much you do of each).



This is the topic on ski width, skier size & float: http://skiforums.org/rev2/index.php?topic=81.0

Cheers,
