Help with a first time setup

Hey I’m finally selling my snowboard and im going to purchase a pair of twin tips!

I pretty much have skiing down and want to progress to spins and grabs. I need help with my first set up my instinct is a pro model ski like Colby west's or Jon Olsson's or will i be better off with a lower model? As for boots I like the look of rear entry boots like the IL Moro form Dalbello but are these the only boots of this type?

Bindings and poles I have no clue about so please post suggestions.

I live in London so most of my skiing will be dry slope and dome parks when I do get out it is usually to Taheo in California where I ride powder and park so an all round set up is essential

I will probably get about £300 for my snowboard set up and I will double that to £600 to spend when the dollar is a 0.75 meaning I’ve got about $900 to spend when I buy.

Thanks in advance!

Yo,

I live in London to. 600 quid is ok.

Go hear for the boots no questions (no i dont work for them)

You need boots that fit, GO TO A DAMN BOOTFITTER.

Skis are everywhere, i wont recommend any. Im buying some Armada AR6s for £245 and ive already got some bindings. Ebay turns up some bargain every now and again.

Spend as much if not more on your boots than on the skis.
