Replying to Getting some new gear for my first western voyage. Help me!
Hey what's up guys? I haven't posted on this site in ages (look @ the member #), but am back to elicit some advice from you gear gurus. My buddy and I are planning a trip out west and I'm looking for some new skis/boots. I'm riding on very old Salomon 1080 boots and 2006 Rossignol Scratch FS skis and it's time for an upgrade. I still ride the park here and there, but as I transition into my professional career (I'm a dentist), I've become more cautious and tend to stick to the trees and powder.
So that said, I'm looking for a ski that isn't totally overkill for the east coast, but also more than sufficient for anything I might encounter in Jackson Hole. Also looking for some new boots as well - I wish I could specify if I like soft/stiff boots, but honestly I don't know - I've been riding on the same pair for almost 10! years. So I'm open to any suggestions you all might have.
For reference I'm 5'10" and about 155lbs. And don't let the job fool you, money is definitely still a concern - the cheaper the better! If anyone has any used gear that has a lot of life left, don't hesitate to post here or PM me.
Thanks!
