Hello everyone, just joined the forums, anxiously waiting for the winter.
I have been skiing on cheap rentals for a few years now and am ready to buy my own gear. I am a 25 year old male, 150-160 lbs, 5'9"-5'10". Basically the most average person you could imagine. Most of my skiing is in the woods, but I also like to bomb some groomers every now and then, so I guess I'm looking for a typical intermediate all mountain ski. My budget is pretty low - maybe $300 for a full package. I remember enjoying some Salomon Focus's which I rented a few times this past year. I tend to go for shorter skis for my height/weight as I prefer a smaller radius (155-160cm, ~12m radius).
I'm looking for any suggestions anyone might have. I'm ready to buy some used rentals on eBay but wanted to hear what anyone had to say. I'd appreciate any input.
Thanks!
Only 4-5 more months!
PS: I have some videos on my YouTube channel: http://www.youtube.com/channel/UC-P1jTy7YN_P8hd3kemEV1w/videos
