I was told they're the women's version of the Pursuits. I demoed the Pursuit 700 in a 170 but I'm thinking the 163 might be a better fit for me. I'll probably try them this week sometime.

The temptation is women’s version of the experience - Check the web site. I think you want to demo the experience not the pursuit

Pretty sure the Temptations are the women's versions of the Rossi Experience skis. I have a good friend who bought a pair after demoing them at Mt. Bachelor on vacation. She loves them.

Didn't she get new Kenjas about 2 years ago - or was that before her new hip?

She got demo Kenjas at the ski swap/sale a year or two before the hip replacement and really liked them but they've reached the end of their useful life; not responding like they used to.

Yes, the Temptation is the woman's version of the Experience. P has a pair and loves them.

I am on the Experience 84 HD and would certainly recommend them for eastern skiing [as a carving / slalom like ski].
