Poster: A snowHead
|
Hi
We are beginner skiiers and ski mainly blue and green runs. When I book skis, I usually book the lower level package, but I was just wondering if there would be any advantage to choosing the next skis up? I know that usually paying more means you get something better. I would be happy to pay more if the skis would help my (not very good) skiing! However, I don't want ones that make you go faster! What would you generally recommend?
Thanks

Spend any spare money on extra lessons - will benefit you more at this stage than 'better' skis.

munchimo, The more expensive skis are likely to be more difficult to initiate turns on as they are likely to be stiffer and wider. This really doesn't help build confidence in a novice/intermediate skier.
As the others have said, more lessons will help and you'll then be able to make a more informed decision based on what sort of skiing you might like to do.
Hope you find something appropriate

"better" skis are also likely to be heavier.

The slower the better. Get the cheapest you can find, but make sure that the DIN settings are appropriate by reading up on what you think they should be and checking what the technicians set it at.
