Hello all,
I'm new to the forum and glad to be here! I need some help buying my first pair of skis (I was growing up until now, so I've been renting/borrowing).
I live in Seattle but I'm going to college in Rhode Island, so I'll be using these skis when I'm home on break during January. I...
Due to a big hole in my quiver. I'm trying to decide on a ski for skiing amongst the trees, bonus if it can pull double duty as a deep snow ski for a lightweight skier. I'm not looking for a one ski quiver; I have race skis in various radii for use on groomers, am perfectly happy enough...
I’m looking for a carving ski that I’ll use exclusively on the east coast (VT and NH). I’ve been debating between a few Head models: 1) supershape I.speed 2) super shape I.magnum 3) head wc rebel I.speed 4) wc rebel I.SL wc rebel I.SLR.
About me: I’m 36, 5’9, 180 lbs. I raced in college in a...
Good day!

I'm 5'20 and 115 lbs,
I’m looking between FISCHER WC SL 155 skis, BLIZZARD WC SL 156, or 150 junior skis?
Thank you in advance for some advices
Hi all, I'm a new member looking forward to getting sucked down the rabbit hole. Would really appreciate your advice!
I've recently gotten back into skiing and find myself in love. As I'll be moving to the west coast (Vancouver) in a few months, I think it's high time I replace the old atomic...
So for a bit of background I used to ski a lot before my late teens and due to life and reoccuring dislocations, 3 shoulder surgeries and 20 years later I have found the courage to start skiing again. It is as enjoyable as I remembered but is a LOT harder then I remembered returning at a hefty...
Just like the title says, I’m looking for an all-mountain ski that is good on groomers but that can also take on crud and a bit of heavy Western Cascades snow, which we get an awful lot of.
I’m big, 6’ and 235 lbs, strong legs, advanced-intermediate on groomers and novice-intermediate on...

Hey guys, thanks for all the content you put out here. It's a great source of information. I spend a lot of time here lately.
My question is as follows:
I'm a 5'10" 240-pound nearly-advanced groomer skier, strong and fairly athletic despite my weight (I do hit the gym, squat and deadlift north...

Hi everyone, I would like to ask the community's advice on ski choice. I'm a level 7, perhaps 8 on good days (per the most recent instructors I trusted) 44 yo skier, looking to continue progressing and exploring terrain. I live on the East Coast, but try to take 1-2 trips a year to big...

Hello all, I am looking for a narrower ski to compliment my Enforcer 100. I'm an intermediate level, haven't skied in years due to being in grad school but am getting back into it now. I live in the PNW and work contracts, so I have no "home" mountain to speak of, but will always likely be in...
Yes, another “recommend me a ski” thread!
My friend Arnie lives in Oakland, CA. A couple of years ago, he had back issues resulting in two surgeries. Despite this, or because of this, he was left with a partially paralyzed/weak leg. Also despite this, he continues to bicycle and is hell bent...

I’m looking to add a twin tip to my quiver of skis just to have something different every once in a while. Here is my settings:
Level: advanced skiier
Location: east coast, groomed trails.
Current go-to ski: Atomic Nomad Blackeye Ti 167cm
Desire: Something lighter (Atomic is super heavy)...
It couldn’t get more black vs white than comparing these two skis. This is really a Gen 2.0 comparison that goes back to the original FX and LX, but the times have changed. The new FX85 is much more off-piste-oriented than the original FX84, which felt more like a lightweight MX; where the old...
Went for a one ski quiver this year, and had my eyes set on the Blizzard Brahma, but got a good deal on the Vantage 90 CTI, and since the reviews have been really good on this ski, and went for it since the dealer believed the ski would be more "fun" than the Brahma. Ended up getting the 184cm...
Was just perusing some bargain offers and saw a really nice price on a set of woman's 184cm Cham 107s. That got me to thinking: between weight (now down to about 72kg (160lb) and having passed the 68-year mark, might I be better off on that ski than on the men's equivalent length? What, if any...
