Hey I'm thinking about getting a new pair of ski's soon, and I'm not really sure what to look for.
I have a couple questions to ask, but first I'll let you guys know some info about me to help even more. I am about 6'2" and 156lbs. I have been snowboarding for about 7 years, and I've become tired of it and want to switch to skiing. I used to ski, so I am fairly familiar with it, and I can ski decently. I would call myself close to intermediate. I plan on doing freestyle skiing and I would like twin tipped skis.
now for the questions
1). For my size, and the type of skiing I want to be doing, what lenght ski's should I look for.
2). Are the salomon 1080 flyers 171cm a good match for me? I found them for $200 without bindings online, so I'll just take them to a local ski shop and get some bindings there and have them mount them.
3.) Also, would the k2 fujative 169cm be good for me? A local ski shop has a deal for the fujatives and salomon s810 bindings for $370. Is this a good deal? I already have boots because my dad ski's and gets new boots every year so I'll just use his ones from last year (we wear the same size shoe, and I've tried them on. They fit fine, and I have no idea why he gets new ones every year)
thanks for any suggestions.
