Replying to Need skis, need recommendations for old man
Last pair of skis I bought were atomic rituals back in 2013... didn't get them out as much as I wanted over the years but they've been good for the 3 or so times a season I've managed to get out.
My daughter turned 5 last year and she absolutely loves skiing, made it out with her and the wife (also new to skiing) 30+ times last season. This means I can justify buying myself some new ones. Mostly ski our local hill, Pass Powderkeg, but got out to castle mountain a few trips last year.
What would you suggest for some skis for putting around the hill with the little one? I have a background in racing, was a ski instructor and skied for southern alberta freestyle team back when fortress was still alive.
Looking for something playful on the groomers that can do the occasional park lap to show off in front of my girls. Also want them to be substantial enough that I can bomb the hill when I sneak a couple laps while they're having lunch. Probably do a few trips to louise, fernie, sunshine and for sure castle.
Been out of the ski gear for a long time. Any help is appreciated
