cinski, the burnin luv is a great ski. I have a call into my friend whose wife demoed several woman specific skis. Based on what you are describing however, I wonder if you really need a WSS or could do just fine on any expert ski. Wider skis are not necessary but they can be a lot more stable in loose snow, pow and crud. That said, a lot has to do with your size and weight. Not to be rude but what is your weight? If you are skiing the bowls and other Copper terrain now, then I doubt you really need to go any wider than 70-4mm to get a lot more float and stability. There is a lot of hype and marketing now to go really wide, a lot has to due with personal preference and skill level.
