Replying to Snowboarder looking to start skiing
I've been getting bored of snowboarding lately/loosing intrust so I want to take up skiing, but need some expert help to get started since I haven't skied in 5-6 years.
First off, what size should I look at? I'm 6'3" 225 lbs.
What kind of skis should I look at?
Im on the east coast and am looking for a ski that's all mountain, definatly not just park. My friend has PE's and I think they're a good choice since I always hear good things about them.
If I want to find the best deal/lowest price, what's prime time to buy? I know right now prices are not gonna be great, but what time in the off season is good for getting cheap or good deals, and should I go for this years models or wait till the 07's come out?
Boot/binding wise, what's the diference in quality? Is it worth it to get a high end pair of boots and bindings or is there not much diference between them?
I'll probly get on skis a few times this year to practice, but waiting till next year to buy skis is not a problem. Anything else that's worth mentioning, please do.
Thanks
