Just wondering if it will be worth the expense to upgrade my wife's skis...she's a solid but more cautious intermediate who pretty much sticks to the groomers. Her current and only skis are Rossignol Saphir 3s that we bought about 10 years ago. She's quite happy with them but give the age of the skis I have been wondering if it's time for a refresh.
I'm aware of the advice to demo, but the last time she demoed skis all she had a chance to try were the latest models which I usually avoid due to cost. She also didn't feel that she could tell much difference in what she skied then.
If we do get something I will try to keep the price down...she doesn't get out more than 5-6 times in a season (at the most about 10) so a big gear investment doesn't make too much sense.
