I will find out next week what the verdict from Head is.
Yes, I read the reviews of the Great One. highly rated in a couple of places.

Here's my thoughts: Keep the ET/Every One (whichever one won't cost me). The dims on this are right for the northeast.
For a powder ski: Nordica Olympia Victory. Has a waist of 84 and very highly rated.
I am thinking that would be the ski to demo. Reviews indicate that it might not be as stiff as the Noridica I demoed last year
which turned me off.

The Great one has a wider waist, but the ski has too much overlap with the ET's and with the wider waist, is probably not what I want for ice/hard pack.

Again, it is the Conquer that is 84 in the waist, not the Victory. Either way, what you didn't like about the Nordies when you tried them last year...they are stiff and not really a good ski in powder. For your size something in the mid/upper 80's would be best. Preferably a flat ski and not a system. Take my thoughts with a grain of salt, I just have had a hand in product design and development of a woman's ski line.
