I just started skiing last year and I love it. Went about 20 times. Last year I bought a pair of Atomic Izor 5:3. This ski is available in 4 stifness levels, mine are the second from the bottom. They are intended to be used by beginner/intermediate skiers.
I would say I have become an intermediate skier. I ski any blues and some blacks and I can carve turns. However, whenever I am on a steeper trail I can't get the skies to carve. I do a lot of skidding. Is this because I'm still not a very good skier, or is it because the skies aren't stiff enough for me, or some combination of the two? Or is it because I weigh 190 lbs.?
I'm thinking I'll try out some stiffer skies on a demo day somewhere, but 'til then, does anyone have any advice for me? Thanks.
