hot pink ski recommendations

I’ve been thinking about getting a new pair of skis as a single pair I’ll use pretty much all the time (maybe I’ll demo if I happen to hit major powder).

I really want a pair of hot pink skis though - appearance wise, I think the black crows anima birdie is my ideal top sheet, but those are probably too wide for me. Looking for recommendations that are a bright pink which would also fit the profile of someone who likes to ski moguls and trees.

  1. Tell us about yourself - age / gender / height / weight: 23 / F / 165cm / 55kg

  2. What is your skill level? (1-10 from never skied to all terrain in all conditions) 7-8? I can comfortably go down blacks and get down some double blacks in decent conditions. prefer not to ski black+ in icy conditions

  3. Number of days you ski per year? ~7-12

  4. Where do you ski (geographically)? grew up in PNW, live in the Bay Area. I ski at Whistler and Utah most years, probably more Colorado coming up

  5. Where on the mountain do you ski (groomers, moguls, trees, park, powder, etc.)? Moguls and trees, but also piste

  6. What are your skiing aspirations in the next 2-3 years? Eg. What terrain do you eventually want to be comfortable doing? I mainly just want to improve my form and maybe do some small jumps

  7. What skis do you have experience with? Did you like / dislike? Rossignol Black Ops Dreamer 160 (2018?): I like that they aren’t heavy, it’s easy to turn, but I felt like they’re not that stable at higher speeds. Volkl Kenja 163 (2014): They are more stable, sometimes I feel clunky on them but they’re also good.

  8. What is your budget? not sure, I’m mainly trying to figure what I should demo, search for at ski swap or last season sale

  9. Shopping in the USA or abroad? Online or specific retail shops? USA or Canada

  10. Will you ski 100% at resorts, or will the skis also be used for backcountry touring? Resort

  11. What boots do you own / plan to use with the skis? Atomix Hawx Prime 85
