 Poster: A snowHead
|
Hi newbie here. I am looking to go skiing for the first time in about 6 years except for a day at MK recently. My dilema is whether to take my skis whicha re now some 13 years old (Vokll competion) or rent a premium set when there. I will deff be taking my Boots as they are fitted with a moulded foot bed and still comfortable
Has the technolgy changed signifactly in 13 years ? I read a lot about Carving skis but doent really know the difference.
If I do take my skis, they will need a service and will have to pay for carriage etc so not sure if better to pend a little more and rent some decent ones in the resort ............... any help

I'm pretty sure most people will say rent new ones. Ski carriage will be 30quid return plus 15quid for a service and you should nearly be able to rent a decent pair for that.
I've never skiied on old style skis but apparently the difference is vast

Not sure what the travel plans are yet, I am trying to convince a few people to go, but no deff plans yet. I may well end up searching the solo traveller forum to see whats about. I fancy 3 valley or Val late Feb / Early March - but not too fussed really just need to ski again before I get too old !

Drop me a pm with your address and I'll send you a copy of the latest Fall Line Gear Guide; that'll show you just how much has changed... It should give you a steer on what to rent this time round. Same goes for anyone who didn't get one with the mag...
