I’m new to Pugski, the advice and expertise here is second to none. I have enjoyed and gained a lot of insight and knowledge from y’all, thank you. I thought it was time to join the conversation, so here I am. That being said I’m gonna do more listening than giving my 2 cents.
Briefly, I’m a 63yo senager having a great time getting back into skiing. I’m 5’11”, 160lbs, advanced intermediate, in pretty good shape, looking to continue to learn and advance, but with good technique. I’m looking at taking a multi-day mogul camp next year, I think it will help me everywhere.
I‘ve been doing quite a bit of research into skis that will be used about 70% on-piste and 30% moguls give or take. I primarily ski out west, and looking for something I can advance on. I enjoy moguls , but I’m not very good.....yet. I’m thinking that some good skis might help, with a waist of 80ish or less. I realize it’s not the arrow, but I think I need a ski that helps and not hurts my progress or my backside!
Here’s the list I’ve compiled so far, in no particular order.
- K2 Iconic 84 (TI?)
- DPS Cassiar A79 C2 Trainer
- Liberty V76
- Liberty V82
- ID One FRXP (www.idoneusa.com)
- Stockli Laser AX
- Fischer RC4 The Curve
I’m a little concerned the Stockli and Fischer might be too stiff and unforgiving but I don’t know.
I’ve gotten advice that going shorter in length is good for moguls, but is 167/168cm too short for me? Would they get unstable on-piste?
The last ski I tried was a Salomon XDR TI 172, 130/88/113, it was ok, but a bit unstable at speed on-piste.
OK, that’s long enough! Any thoughts or ideas would be greatly appreciated.
