Who makes the best ski equipment – Rossignol, K2, Elan, Salomon, Atomic, Volkl?
“The right pair of skis should feel like part of your body” experts say. When considering buying a pair of skis, keep in mind a few things – ease of turning, vibration absorption, light weight, edge grip, stability at speed, and versatility in all conditions. Choose skis that fit your ability level. Ski boots should be comfortable and it must hold your heel firmly in place. I’ve heard so many people come off the slopes at lunch only to say their feet are killing them. Boots make or break your ski day. Choose wisely. We recommend perhaps renting skis the first few times you ski to see what you link or don’t like. Get a feel for different bindings, boots and ski lengths.
