I'm looking into getting the gf a good pair of skis for her birthday and there seem to be some good deals on Roxy out there.

 

First question - are they any good?

 

Second question - I'm thinking something around 90 mm would fit the bill. There are 3 models that I have come accross, all with waists around 90. What's the difference? How does each model ski? See links below.

 

The Roxy website is utterly useless for generating any understanding of their product line.

Can't add much other than my wife was very happy with how the Roxy's (Wista, I think) I got her a few years ago looked...of course, she has only skied 4 or 5 half days since then and isn't really good enough to give any meaningful feedback.

 

I imagine that they are still made by Dynastar (in Spain for my wife's), so maybe you can figure out what model Dynastar they are comparable to get some more info...

The Black Magic is the same ski as the Dynastar Big Trouble.  You can finds lots of information on the BT.

Ok, so we're basically looking at the Rossi Scratch Girl BC and the Dynastar She's Trouble BC. How do the two compare?
