She's looking for a pair of skis that will be easier to scoot around with the kids than her present boards, the Head Supershape Speed.? Now, don't get me wrong, she LOVES these skis, and would never give them up.? But they are not the best for all day recreation with the kids.....stop-start, skid, dodge...you get the picture.? So a second pair of nimble, agile, but stable skis, that can still rip when she wants to turn it up, would be the ideal.? As an added bonus, if she could get this character in a wider waist that would work when we go out West to deeper snow (we ski mostly in Ontario), would be fantastic.? Since she hasn't demoed anything wider than 72 mm waist, and we know nothing about this group of skis, then let's throw this out to the forum at large -- do you have some suggestions and can anyone point us in a direction that we can start looking?

This is the part that I was keying on in my recommendations. ?She wants a step down in ski that is also a bit wider so as to be used ?out west.
The trade off is that I think the Every Thangs would be great for the above but won't have quite the float of the upper 70's skis.? The Vision Vapor will have the float but isn't as good a match in the skiing with the kids department.? The old dilemma about getting skis for 90% of your skiing or getting a different ski that may not do the 90% as well but will do better at the other 10%.? The Every thang is 10% wider (roughly), the Vision Vapor is 15% wider than the Supershape Speeds.?
