 Poster: A snowHead
|
Sorry I'm really new at this but anyway..I just got some brand new well fitting ski boots the other day from CEM and now I'm all excited and fancy getting another pair of skis. 
I'm 27, 5'' 10 and about 70kg and at the moment I ski Scott p4 in a 181 as my everyday ski.
I went to Hemel for the snowheads monthly meet up at the start of September, so I might have met a few of you there.
I am planning on skiing at hemel quite a bit while im at home this winter, so I was thinking about getting something like an all mountain ski -which I could get some use out at hemel.
I have been thinking about this ski in particular:
-K2 extreme in 174 or 179, but im not sure which size would be better for me? Are the 174's a bit short for me?
Any ski suggestions anyone might have would be great? Thanks James

Yeah man definitely 179, don't go too short with the Extreme's coz they'll ski shorter being a twin anyway plus it's got a real all-mountain personality and you don't wanna compromise that. Enjoy.

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

Yeah, Im looking for some of last years in a 179.
I guess 179 is the most popular size because I cant seem to find any.

Personally, I'd completely push that out of my mind. The perfect ski for Hemel is a Slalom ski. Whilst you could ski a 21m sidecut radius ski there, you'll get more fun skiing something shorter and turnier - especially if it's busy.

Elston, Check-out my website on the link below. I'd recommend the HS FR in 179 or the Whitedot One in the same length.

Elston, I have the HS FR in 179 and would definetly recommend them.

I think I saw someone riding a pair of HS skis at Hemel- they look good as a replacement everyday ski for my P4s but I'm not looking for one just yet. I was really looking for a reasonably cheap second pair of skis in a sale somewhere.
I did consider slalom skis but I think I might try to learn a few tricks in the park sometime + I really enjoy mogul skiing and I've read somewhere that the old PEs(extreme with a different top sheet) were pretty good bump ski.
Could I get away with a 174? Ive read some where that k2 size there skis differently?
