Hey all!
I have a question. I'm visiting Jay Peak in VT with some friends in a few weeks and going skiing for the first time. I'm about 6' and 300 pounds - big guy, but still fairly athletic: can run and fall and work up a sweat and all that jazz. I'm not worried about my ability to ski as a big guy, but moreso wondering if I'm going to have issues renting equipment... I've been trying to search the internet to see if skis typically have a weight limit, and not finding much for answers for actual skis (just the lifts, which will be fine, it seems). Will an average rental at a mountain be able to accommodate me? Are skis just not meant to support someone my weight? The friends I'm going with are all super small and have ski'ed before, so just trying to mitigate right now if possible... The one coordinating the trip hasn't brought up any possible issues with my size and skiing, so I'm not sure if this is just in my head or a potential issue. Would be great to not have to deal with this awkward question when with my friends. :)
Thanks in advance for the answers/advice! And Merry Christmas to all who celebrate!
