Log in to snowHeads to make it MUCH better! Registration's totally free, of course, and makes snowHeads easier to use and to understand, gives better searching, filtering etc. as well as access to 'members only' forums, discounts and deals that U don't even know exist as a 'guest' user. (btw. 50,000+ snowHeads already know all this, making snowHeads the biggest, most active community of snow-heads in the UK, so you'll be in good company)..... When you register, you get our free weekly(-ish) snow report by email. It's rather good and not made up by tourist offices (or people that love the tourist office and want to marry it either)... We don't share your email address with anyone and we never send out any of those cheesy 'message from our partners' emails either. Anyway, snowHeads really is MUCH better when you're logged in - not least because you get to post your own messages complaining about things that annoy you like perhaps this banner which, incidentally, disappears when you log in :-)

Hi cottonedon, and welcome to the boards! Very Happy

I've just bought new skis and was similarly no-plussed about all the options so used this ski finder from ski canada to try to narrow down the field down a bit, and they have tested most of the skis they have in there so it gives you some feedback on them too.

try it out and then maybe ask of peoples experience a particular ski?

hope it helps snowHead

Could do worse than Dynastar Sultan 85s/whatever this season's version is called. Really versatile skis, with good performance and a nice punchy flex.

The Fischer Watea 84s are a good compromise if doing piste / between piste. Narrow enough to be a good piste ski but still pretty good off-piste. Not a new design but effective. I am 53 and small-ish. There are quite light so I keep my speed up if off-p is heavy. If off-p is cruddy they are probably not ideal for me as neither ski nor I have the weight - but if cruddy who wants it!

They coped with everything last season had to offer and were the only skis I used in 8 weeks. Interesting to see if they lose their vitality by the end of season if I do similar this year.
