Maybe we could all collaborate to make some general guidelines for buying new skis that people could reference without having to make a thread about it. I see a ton of threads asking simple questions like "Hey i'm 7 feet tall, is 145 too short?" We could probably develop a pretty good general outline of what a person should be looking for when buying new skis that could answer a lot of these questions that newer skiers and experienced skiers have. I'm just throwing it out and I know it probably wouldn't include makes and models but maybe it could have stuff like:
-Height and weight references for ski size and style (Stiffer ski, buttery ski, fat ski)
-Relate type of ski (Powder, Park, etc.) to mounting and size
-Provide some input on finding the right bindings.
-Give some tips on how to pick between similar makes and models.
This is totally based on the opinions of other NS'ers so what do you guys think? Any suggestions? Problems? No hate just input.

HAHA word we should name the new sticky "how to choose a ski for you" and then put your quote bobaburg.
We should also be ranked according to our ski knowlege and experience that way kids could see a little icon next to our name and know if we're full of shit or all-pro when it comes to handing out ski advice.

God I can't stand people like you. You have to be a dick even though you don't know what your talking about. The sticky titled "Before posting for help on here..." is exactly the one I thought we could all make better. Instead of having it tell people HOW to post for help, we could make it more informative about what to look for in a ski in the first place. Then instead of reading the thread to find out how to ask for help, they could probably find their answer right away. Please give those other 11 reasons so I can fix them, or explain what I mean. I thought it was pretty clear to understand but I guess it can't be %100 idiot proof.
Thanks for your input.
