  1. visit the local ski shop and ask the pros for assistance.  you need to be fitted in person -not online.


  2. Get the boots that fit your foot tight, then add custom foot beds, and cants and check for the ramp that fits you. Allow at least 4 hours in the shop in the boots before you buy. The boots are THE critical piece of equipment for any skier.  The boots will get looser during the day as you compress the foam liner. Take your time with the boots you will spend 6-10 hours a day in them.  You want to be able to go dancing when the day is done.  

    The bindings should have a DIN range of 8-14 for your height and weight. All of the bindings are of good to high quality, so it's your choice. The heel height will change your balance on the ski. Have the boot fitter check you for ramp and your comfort.  This is becoming more critical as the industry learns about it.  .5mm will make a difference in how you ski and your comfort.

    Good skis. Good turns.  Good times.
