i plan to be skiing on new skis next season so i want to get started figuring out the ones i want so i can grab them after this season when pricing starts to drop.
i'm looking for two things from my fellow AZ'ers
1. would love suggestion on particular skis based on the desciption i'm about to provide.
2. would welcome a good internet resource where i can compare and contrast different skis and their specs.
releveant info:
* i'm a 1 ski quiver kind of guy
* currently skiing 2004 volkl 724 pro, 170 cm (115-77-104)
* currently 5' 7" about 185, low end type III skier
* skiing 50/50 groomers / bumps, hardly ever off-piste but would like to get into it more
* love current ski except for:
what i'm looking for in next ski:
lighter and better carving. i've seen reference to "all mountain carvers" as a type of ski and i think that sums up what i want in a "1 ski does it all" quiver.
was also thinking of a slightly wider ski (low 80s) but would need a more exagerated side cut for carving.
any help would be appreciated.
i know and agree with the whole demo thing. i'm going to try and find (plan for) a trip to a mountain on a demo day but i don't see any that line up with my plans for the rest of the season.
thanks,
gary

things weigh a ton
they don't work well (or i can't make them work well) at lower speeds
have always suspected they might be a bit long for me
