goal: be able to ski a large portion of terrain at AltaBird and Alpine.
boots: Fischer RC 4 110. I think they fit me pretty well after some tweaks this season.
current skis: Head V8
height: 5'6"
weight: 170 lbs.
I have been mostly skiing groomed blues last season. I'm on Head V8 bought from Phil. This year I went on a couple of bumped runs at Alpine. I came down pretty slow but didn't fall as I used to in previous seasons. I enjoyed the puzzle-solving aspect of a bumped run. I'm sure a more skilled skier can use those same skis and still ski those slopes well but I can't say that would be applicable to me. So, do I need a different pair of skis as if I want to learn to ski bumped slopes and trees? I'm checking now to see if I can get some good deals.
Most likely, I will be skiing Park City/Kirkwood/Heavenly next season. I'd like to experiment with ungroomed runs at these places next season. Skiing powder is not really a focus as I don't plan to go to Tahoe during storms due to traffic issues and my Utah trips will be planned well in advance.
