Hello, I am trying to decide on which type of skis I should buy. I have never skied good powder or big mountain but they look really fun. I normally ski park and some groomers. I ski Whistler Blackcomb. What in your experience is the most fun terrain? What type of skis should I buy?



P.S.

If you pick a terrain please recommend a ski with it.


Thanks!

Never skied good pow? Doesn't Whistler get dumped on? Or do you just make your way to the park when it snows?

I'm a all mtn skiier. My resorts lacks a park so I'm not too good but I want to get better so when I visit other areas I'll be hitting the park. Pow days are also rare. Maybe 5 or less a year at my home mountain. Anyway park and pow are kind of "rewards" to me I guess. I look forward to them a lot. All mtn can be really fun cuz you have to be creative. Instead of rails to slide I have logs haha. Instead of good park jumps I have cat tracks or have to build jumps of ridges I the resort. Ever seen a sander Hadley edit? Where we share the same home mountain. Basically where I ski you have to be creative. I hit and have the same ski style/mindset a sander but on a MUCH mellower level haha. Sorry for the ramble but I love all mtn for it's creativity and what not.
