Replying to Need All-Mountain Suggestions...
Afternoon everyone. I decided I finally to buy my own set up, and not use hand me downs, loaners, rentals, and need some advice.
About me: My name is A.J. I am 30 years old (Feel like an old man around these parts), and would consider myself a solid Intermediate skier, bordering on Advanced. 5'11", 175-180 lbs. Got back into skiing last year with 10-15 days. I am looking for something all mountain, as I ski east coast (Usually Blue, Creek, or Shawnee) and depending on whats busy, is where Ill go (Park, groomers, maybe some black diamonds depending on where). I learned to slide a box last year pretty proficiently, and wanted to work on that some, jump, but be able to go on a trail with no issues. Looking to go out to Winter Park, CO this winter if that adds anything to the equation.
I am looking to get out the door all told (Boots Bindings and Skis) for $800. Could stretch a bit more if the boots are amazing or made for my feet or something.
Anyone have any suggestions or guidance?
And anyone in NJ, where do you recommend for ski shops?
Thanks everyone! Cant wait to get out again... C'Mon Snow!
