I been in the ski business since 1975 so I helped lots of customers select skis. You have totally omitted several important classes of skis. First new skier on beginner - low intermediate skis on groomed trails. The Volkl Flair or Deacon models with waist width in the 70’s to low 80’s. Second a popular type of all mountain ski in New England is the Volkl Kendo 88, Kenja 88, Mantra M6 (96mm) or Secret which is the women’s version. I work at a shop in NH and ski a Blizzard Brahma 88, Rustler 9 or Nordica Enforcer 94 as my everyday driver.
Its all personal preference. They have guidelines for buying skis but I personally like a ski thats about 4 to 6 inches shorter than what is recommended. My skis right now come up just under my chin
If you are a new England skier, take all of this and toss it out the window. We don't get powder so an all mountain ski has an 88-90mm waist, a powder ski is 95-100mm. The park skis seem to be about the same as indicates here In new England all Mountain skiing means tree skiing. This is easier with something shorter and a moderate waist. Since we don't get the snow, you will encounter s lot of rocks so in my new England ski book an all mountain ski should be a little softer, should be light and should have a 85-100mm waist. Ski length for new England skiing.,. IMO unless you are going to go very fast, shorter skis are better because they turn better in narrow trails. I have more fun with my Rossignol Hero Elites than my all mountain K2s simply because the 15 meter turn feels more natural than the 18 meter turn of the K2s on a crowded narrow ski trail.
Please help me in choosing the right ski I'm let's say intermediate to advanced skier and I want to buy a new pair of skis I stopped at: - Fischer RC4 The Curv Race TI + RSc10GW - Rossignol Pursuit 700bTI + NX12K Dualb2018 M - Elan GSX PRO PS + ELS 11 GRN All from above are at the same price I'm 1.80 cm and 82kg looking for 170cm ski. I apreciate if you can help me choose.
You should look at Blizzard Brahmas. I have them in 173ish length and 82 waist. It’s a flatter ski and I’ve done everything with them. I have several other skis, but those are my favorite for general skiing!
So when park and pipe skis are basically all mountain skis with added benefits, why would I pick "typical" all mountain skis instead of park and pipe? Even when I'm not tricking

This is my 4th time skiing. I have mastered the turns, slow down and stop skills. Im 152 cm in height 105 lbs in weight and was renting 140cm all mountain skis. I recently purchased all mountain 150cm pair of skis. Did I make a wrong decision?
First learn to ski at some level that you understand what are your requirements and how do you want to ski and where.Then test skis with different radius and lengths and find your comfort what you seek for. Forget all these formulas about longer/ shorter etc. I'm skiing only with carving style and tested various skis with different lengths and radius. I found out that 165cm with 14meter radius was the ski I needed to full fill the style I wanted to ski. Just to mention I'm 198cm/85kg.. If you look at the skiers on slopes, 70-80% of the skiers don't know even the basics of skiing, so choosing an optimum ski doesn't bring them anything at all. First task is to learn to ski with basics.
I've skied 6 years competition with the best materials for slalom, I can ski with "decent" skies but it still doesn't give me the same feeling so I always ask for the racing skis when I'm on vacation...
I started skiing again after 5 years now. I've done 20 degree pistes and I'm thinking of moving to park but still go down normal reds and blacks. Should I get all mountain or twin tip? I've used 160 carving skis. And I'm 178cm and a little bit above average weight what lengh should I get?
Hello, it’s going to be my first pair of skis and I usually go to Baqueira Beret, Andorra or La Molina (they are all in Spain) which would you reccommend? Thanks😊
It's hard to say without knowing more about your ability level and what terrain you like to ride. It's hard to go wrong with a good pair of all mountain skis though.
Pop means the energy that the ski has in and out of turns, and while jumping. Some skis are more playful and energetic, while others are more damp and stable.
This is not relevant for European skiers where artificial snow and groomers are most common. 100mm is definitely not a balanced choice if you spend most of your time on-piste and you rarely experience reasonably deep powder.

Nice beats.

I'm a level 2 and I like going down the intermediate hills, what kind of skis should I buy, I'm thinking all-mountain

Ingrid Backstrom is the best!!
Sure is!
Can you do a video on budget skis

I ride wet noodle Blends, am i a beginner?
This is my 4th time skiing. I have mastered the turns, slow down and stop skills. Im 152 cm in height 105 lbs in weight and was renting 140cm all mountain skis.
I recently purchased all mountain 150cm pair of skis. Did I make a wrong decision?
No, she said beetween chin and top of your head. 👍🏻 your good
@@IstvanRthank you so much!
I do everything with my park skis and the only problem is deep powder speed because i just stop whenever i go in powder
What about bumps? I ski bumps. They always leave us out.
Hi I’m going to start skiing, as a beginner are the K2 True love skis any good?
6 foot 3 , 215 , beginner. What length and type of ski will you recommend ?
What about my kendo 88’s? They do everything for me…
First learn to ski at some level that you understand what are your requirements and how do you want to ski and where.Then test skis with different radius and lengths and find your comfort what you seek for.

If you look at the skiers on slopes, 70-80% of the skiers don't know even the basics of skiing, so choosing an optimum ski doesn't bring them anything at all. First task is to learn to ski with basics.
Testing different skis is definitely a great way to figure out what works for you!

There are all mountain twin tips that might fit the bill well! Around 170cm would be a good place to start.

@@videosbyevo Thanks 😁
Can I stay beginners ski forever? I want something easy nothing difficult where I can enjoy with my 5 years old son. I do not want to be an expert.

I want something fast! Skis I hire just dont go fast enough so want something that can go that bit further.

Ryan Tunnel
Ingrid Bäckström. Sounds Swedish to me. :). And I’m a swede.
I'm an expert level skier, but I am 11 and there isn't a good ski that I can find is there any 150 centimeter ski Thats big mountain
Are you helicoptering in? If not, chances are you don’t require a big mountain ski….
If you are 11 dont buy skis
You’re an expert level skier but you’re commenting on a TH-cam video if there’s 150cm ski that’s big mountain?
I’m a level 2,I have been going down triple black diamonds lately, what do you think is the best for advanced skis for junior kinda
