Viking what machines are you pulling with? I have a Mazzer Mini with a Anita by Quick Mill. Gotta love a proper espresso.

OK, so she really wants a cruiser Ski?; I think I will go back to the Vapor or even through in the Legends. I am of a differing school than most here so I will remain silent..... just remember if you are looking for an easy going, soft snow ski, dont' be afraid to go wider. The difference in energy and timing of getting a 70mm ski on edge over a 66mm ski is miniscual assuming identical sidecuts.? The real difference is overall sidecut, not just the waist of the ski. My final advice, she needs to demo. Too much unknown and too much guessing. Although it's fun? ;D

Ron, I think you shouldn't hesitate to voice your thoughts.? They are valid opinions and anything that helps people be more informed of the various points of view can't help but be good.
