I'm buying a pair of skis i need help though?

Question

ok so i've been sking for a couple years now like 5 or more and im pretty good and i've been renting and i can do some small jumps and rails and i was wondering what kind of skis i should get twin tips or regular skis.

Answer 1

Twin Tips are the greatest invention since alaska to me. I would go with twin tips. Here are some good guide lines to go buy before buying:

Twin tips are good for anything except for racing. Do I want to Race? if so don't go for twins

What type of skiing do i do?

If you like powder days and back country runs get fat twin tips

If you race get Slalom or Grand slalom skis (fischer, Atomic, etc.)

Do i like groomers, some powde, woods, well anything! I would say get all-mountain twins

Do I like being a park rat, and Jibbing or doing jumps and rails? Get some park and pipe twins.

How much do I ski? if you ski like 7 or less a year and I am growing, don't buy rent seasonly, or buy and do swap meets at your local ski shop in the fall.

Anymore question Email me I will happily answer! =)
