I am going to Winter Park in a few days and I want to demo a pair of skis. My mom won't let me buy longer skis unless I try some, she says I won't be able to ski... and I would like to try something new, different than my K2 Press. I have done some research and just want your opinions on where to get them from and what to possibly try out.

Basically I want to know:
What ski shop to rent from (In Winter Park)
What ski

Christy Sports is legit and it's right off the Zephyr lift.

Not sure what their demo rates are though.

You might find a better deal if you go somewhere in Fraser just down 40 from the resort. Im not sure  but usually it's cheaper farther from the resort. There's another christy sports and a ton of other shops. You can see all of them from the highway so it might be worth looking at a few different ones for more selection if nothing else

Most ski towns all have shops that offer great demo skis and usually knowledgable employees. Don't be afraid to stop in and ask! Off the resort will save you some green too..
