Hey, So, a little about me. Been ski'ing for years on and off, always gone places and rented all the gear and such. I dont really know shit about the sport. NS is awesome for research and its all i've been doing for weeks.
This year, I moved to the bay area, and came to realise Tahoe is the shit!! and skiing is all i want to do right now. I've got a week at MHSSC in 6 weeks. Was planning on Demoing as many ski's as i could to find out what i like and what to get for next season. Guessing all the ones i would demo arnt going to be the cheap ones, so demoing ski's i wont be able to afford could be pointless. So, i phoned the rental area to clarify the rental stuff and to put my mind at rest with me getting up there to not be able to rent when i get there. It was mentioned to me in a post about the time of my week being a factor with the ski companies not being there for people to demo their shit.
Spot on customer service wise. The guy confirmed the companies will still be there and also found some Rossignol S3's with bindings for cheap. Or at least cheaper than i ever expected to pay for ski's and bindings.There the 168's.
I'm 5ft10, 150-55lbs, and I'd say a solid 2 skier (Doesn't everyone say that?)
I'm probably gonna be skiing 60% groomers 25% park 15% powder (and thats if Tahoe gets shit on and get chance to get to go)
Right now the S3's could look like the good option, reviews look good, unsure what bindings they come with, but they do for come with some sure. $300!
They a maybe a little small? If anyone has any other options to throw at me to quicken my research on what to actually look into and possibly buy. it'd be much appreciated.
Hoping Gear talk isn't as ruthless with the retarded replies
Thanks in advance.
