Hello Braintrust of Pugski!
So one of my protégées in the ski school I work at is in the market for a new pair of planks to supplement his collection of park skis that the kids are all on nowadays, something that’ll serve him well for his level 3 exams.
He’s 15, and 5’5 120lbs soaking wet. He tried a pair of my Elan SLXs and he really liked them, however they’re a bit on the pricey-side for him, even with the CSIA hookups. Up here in Canada we can get previous years race stock relatively cheaply from Nordica/Blizzard, and I was wondering would it be doing him a disservice to steer him towards a JR GS ski instead? I don’t know enough about junior race skis to be able to say myself.
Thanks everyone!
