Good intermediate ski for Pennsylvania and VT trips

[lpranger467]

I was looking at the Head V 10 but think they would be a bit advanced. I would like a good intermediate ski that would grow with me, I'm 6'0 175 and figured I would do a 170 for easier turns. Looking for suggestions. I would mainly ski PA ski hills but would take a few trips to upstate NY or VT. Thanks very much !

No doubt you'll get some answers here, but have you been on Ski Talk?

Gear Reviews and Comparisons

Which ski is for me? How does one ski compare to the other? This is where to discuss these topics and more.

www.skitalk.com

You can search by ski, they do cage match comparisons, and you can ask the forum for advice. Far more ski testing feed back there.

However, there is no substitute for trying different skis out. It's what works for you, not what works for someone else. Use the internet to narrow it down, and try some out next season.

Yep. Just as important information as your weight and height!

It's all about preference but I'm 5' 7" and 170cm is almost as short as I go with ski length. At 6' tall 170cm would feel more like ice skates than skis unless you're a beginner or really low intermediate.

I would say moderate intermediate at best. I can pretty much tackle anuthing on a snowboard, but trying to improve my skills on skis so in the past I had best luck staying a bit shorter for turning sake
