Hi All,
New forum member here. I could use some advise on a ski choice. I am an intermediate skier, 45yo, 6ft tall, 235lbs. I ski mostly Minnesota which tends to be hard pack and ice with some occasional fluff days. I am a pretty casual lazy skier. What are some ski choices I should look at for an all day comfortable ride? Also should I stress over a 82mm waist vrs an 86mm?
Top of my list are:
1. Elan Wingman 82 TI

2. K2 Mindbender 85
https://k2snow.com/en-us/p/mindbender-85-skis
3. Atomic Advantage (82ti or 86)
https://shop.atomic.com/en-us/products/vantage-82-ti-ft-12-gw-aa4168.html
I tried Ikonic 85ti on hard pact and the tips tended to wiggle to much in the straights. Everything else was great.
Thank you very much!
