too broad of a question...height? weight? type of skier? what terrain you want to ski? preferences of carving and radius

get 4frnt steele spence pros, or maybe K2 fujatives, you might also like line 1260s or even salomon 1080s if you dont care about supporting a core company
handicaped skiing
is so hot right
now.
finger old truckers for beer then sell the beer- lateralis

I have seen a jogger with one, i was high when i saw him and for the first couple of seconds i thought he was really a fucking alien(on the oakley medusa hats)

wouldn't fujatives be a little advanced? i'd say stick to a basic all mountain ski, 1080 is good for first year, and it rips everywhere

^ i know that your sponsored by ski market because of your profile but dude, you dont have to constantly plug them. Ski market rips people off big time. Lets face it this kids better off going to smaller shop and getting his stuff. The only thing i go to ski market for is to get tune ups.

just find a ski that isn't a powder ski and has a turned up tip and tail, buy it at a reasonable price and ski
