Blizzard Answer IQ-Max Ski w/ Slider Plate
Is this the ski for me? I'm a 5'7", 135 lb girl...

Is this the ski for me? I'm a 5'7", 135 lb girl who can drop rocks and straight line with the best of them. I'm looking for a ski that can handle the pow in the morning and can ski the crud for the rest of the afternoon- through trees, open bowls and narrow chutes- I'm coming off of a 176 cm Gotama (first year with the Buddha)- I'm looking at the Answer in a 177 or the Rossi S7 in a 178. Any thoughts? thanks!

Depends on what kind of turn radius you like. The S7 is a much sanppier, quick turning ski, fine if you want to ski like that. If your a big mtn, high speed, gs-turn kinda person, maybe look at the Blizzards. The big difference will be in turn radius, weight, and stability. The S7 in anything other than a 195 wont have all that extra metal, so will be lighter and might get deflected easier...
