Former EpicSki member and first post here. I’ve skied on and off since 1968, but regularly (25-40) days a year for the past 15 years. I’m 71 years old. I ski my local mountain in Idaho and 4-5 days a year at Snowbird/Alta. I’m an advanced skier but reluctant to call myself an “expert” although...

After spending a good amount of this season on Salomon's ripper S/Max Rush, I expected great things from the S/Force Bold; what I found out was not what I expected. The...
I'm considering getting the VMT82 in 165cm to replace my 12+ year old and very much loved Fischer Progressor 8+ 165cm and to relegate my meh 4 year old Nordica NRGy 80s 169cm to rock ski status. I've read just about everything on Pugski and the interwebby about the VMT82 and it sounds like it...
Looking for advice on an All Mountain ski.
About me: I'm 53, 6-1", 210lbs.
Ski predominately in the Sierras. I grew up skiing at squaw (back when the skating rink was in the parking lot). I'm an L3+, that has unfortunately suffered a couple serious leg injuries that have slowed me down a...

Howdy: I'm a longtime Colorado Epic skier who now has access to a free place to stay in Taos and a season pass. It's been fun this year exploring the chutes and trees of Taos. But it's clear my Colorado gear (several FIS skis SL and GS and a 190 cm 110 underfoot powder ski) are not ideal for...

Hi all
My son is turning 17 years old this summer. He is still on his first (3 years old) skis: Dynastar Powertrack 79 @166cm. He is now about 175cm, 135lbs, and has skied 50 to 60 days. Time for new skis. He likes slarving, smearing and taking bump runs.
I am looking for a longer ski, but...

So my wife asked me the other day if I thought she should get another pair of skis … like she needed to ask I think everyone should get another pair of skis. We are heading to Banff in a weeks time for a 9 day ski vacation and I plan to have her demo a bunch of different skis so we can dial in...

Good Day,
This past year I have been trying a lot of different skis to find that unicorn ski that will do everything perfectly, and like unicorns I have not found one. I am debating on what to compromise, or if there are a few more to try. If anyone has recommendations for skis I may have...
First, I want to thank pugski.com forum people for pushing me to buy ski boots from a boot fitter. It ended up working out pretty darn well. I still need a few tweaks, but I'm super impressed with the results.
I currently ski on 2014 Volkl Mantra's. I <3 these skis. I have almost 200 days...

I'm looking for a ski that will be able to ski in trees, moguls, slushy/soft snow, and groomers. I know I'm asking for a lot. I have a strong racing background so being able to rip a groomer is pretty important to me. I have been looking at some past year demo skis like the Head monster 88 and...
So, as per Tricia's matchmaking 7.....

After reading Tricia's thread I'll give it a crack:
I’m thinking about buying a new set of skis this season because we’ve had such a lousy year I have a feeling there may be some deals this spring. I generally have kept two pair, one for the soft and deep, and one for the harder conditions...
Sometimes when I'm reading a thread asking for ski recommendations, I think, "Boy, this person must feel like he or she is being interrogated." But there is a good reason for this: you shouldn't care what I know until you know that I care. When people recommend skis based on their own likes...

do you seek out or avoid moguls?
do you ski off piste or stick to groomers?

Looking for an all-mountain West ski (85-95mm waist) that has a shape the same as the Scott Crusade. The key aspect of the Scott Crusade shape/sidecut is that the widest portions of the ski are in contact with the snow surface when the ski is flat. The widest point of the tip is not further up...

Hello – I’ve decided to post up my dilemma after searching a fair bit through the site and reviews. I find the incredible variety of ski choices at the moment difficult to navigate so hoping for some steer.

I've been an infrequent skier the last 5+ years still riding some old Rossignol Energy 194s I bought in 1998. I'm probably now back to a 5-10 day/yr skier mostly in Tahoe with trips to Utah too and ready for new skis. I'm just over 6 ft and 210 lbs and would call myself Intermediate to Advanced...
Hi, hope everyone is having a great start to their season.
I am looking for an intermediate level frontside ski for the purpose of progressing in technique in a season-long program of lessons and drills I've got arranged this year. Solid intermediate here.
This is a quiver ski, for this...

I have a midfat hole in my current 3 ski quiver.
The narrow Twisters are great in moguls, ok on groomed, lousy in fresh or crud, and aging.
The tank like fat S7's are superb in fresh powder, a mediocre tool once snow is tracked up, and too heavy for backcountry uphill.
The short really light...

My only non race skis are Nordica Enforcer 93s in 193cm. I love them but am finding I would want something a bit wider for west coast trips that can handle just about everything. I'm thinking of just leaving the enforcers for my vermont trips.
I like longer turning radii and at least 190cm and...
