After nearly a 20 year layoff I returned to skiing last year as our grandson took up boarding. This year will be devoted to getting him into skiing. My daughter and I ski... it was time for our 10 year old grandson to leave the dark side and join us. I initally thought it would be like riding a bike. Not so, a lot has changed. First my age, still fit at nearly 75 but with a lot more caution. Last year I skied on old Rossignol CUT skis.... 177 cm, 104 tips, 66 waist, and 94 tails. This year I will be on used Rossignol Pursuit 200's 163cm .... 126 tips, 76 waist, 111 tails. Anxious to give them a try.
