    Pick-a-ski

    My buddy is ready for new skis. He's about 5'10", maybe 200#, likes to ski fast. I don't think he's a technically very good skier--I've only seen him make S turns when I challenged him, and they were done OK. His usual ski tracks are slash left, slash right, slash left, etc. He skis anything...

    Liberty Origin 116 VS. Armada ARV JJ 116

    So, I've been looking at pow skis for a long time. I might not necessarily buy a pair yet. Retirement is somewhere within the next 3-1/2 yrs. with May of 2021 being the absolute latest I will continue to work. I'm now in a position where getting out west 3-4 times a season is doable. The...

    Cage Match Comparison 2018 Dynastar Legend X96 vs Salomon QST 99

    Vive la France. The French have never subscribed to the “me too" school of ski design, or really anything else in the industry. They also have never been afraid to take chances: external dampening with Prolink, monocoque constructions, Omega cores, asymmetrical ID shapes, different sidewall...

    Beginner carving skis with a catch

    Hi. I looking for beginner carving skis with a catch. The catch is that 1) I'm relatively tall, heavy, and athletic, and I suspect that many beginner carving skis might not be supportive enough for me, and 2) It's not fair to say that I am a complete beginner. I am a beginner at carving, but...
