can anyone advise me on the amount i should pay for a pair of skis?
im looking around here and they are £500 ish but got no idea what im looking for really....somethin tht can preform and cope with speed and carving but just to have fun with.
My advice alex if you are looking to spend that amount then go to a specialist ski shop and seek advice as to what would be best for you.
Last year I visited Marco (former head of ski school in Pamporovo) who not works a Filarinskis near Portsmouth (link below) and he recommended I buy the Atomic Smoke Ti skis. He fitted me out and I tried them for the fisrt time in Livingo last year. Absolutely brilliant skis and they made me twice the skier I was before.
You would need to do some very hard skiing to warrant a £500 pair. I batter skis on all runs and have been looking at about £350 - £400 max for a pair after that your going into specialized stuff in my opinion.
Atomic Smokes are very good but there are loads out there. Go to a ski shop you can trust and ask them. Where abouts are you people may be able to guide you to one.
live near bristol....id be happy to get a pair in boro (if i knew what i was buying)
ive looked at k2 photon or salomon 24h powerline but dunno if they suit my style or if indeed any good
alex if you decide you fancy the Rossi range, for you wants something like the Z72 sort of thing i ski on, let me know, im in WSM and the ski club at the local slope has an account with rossi
Bought mine in Borovets from the shop near the white magic. Have bought my first and second set of skis there and always had good advice and good service.First set were Salomon and the second set were Rossignol Vipers both of which are still going strong and have skiid some pretty testing stuff in canada with them. Paid £120 for the first set 10 years ago and £220 for the second set 2 years ago.
