Buying Skis: Are Short-Skis a good idea?
Hi guys. I am thinking about buying my own skis instead of renting each time I go to the mountain. I looked around and I saw beginner skis that are decent start at about $150, but after adding bindings and boots and helmets and goggles it adds up to about $450. Well, usually, I dont mind paying this much, but seeing that the next season (December 08-March 09) of skiing is my last, I dont want to spend that much on only one season. and if there was snow back in Saudi Arabia, then I would probably buy that set.
So I looked at Sportcheck and found the short skis at about 98cm and one at 89 cm. I heard alot about them being used mainly in the terrain parks and on the pipes, but can I also use them from the top of the mountain and having medium to high speeds or is it only limited to the terrain park and cannot handle anything else?
Thanks
It's not the length of the ski that matters so much, it's the construction. Each ski is designed for a certain weight rider and if you're not within it's range they won't ride right for you.
See if you can buy some used skis or some rentals at the end of the season and that might help your costs some.
Then again, if it's going to cost you less to rent for a season why not just do that? If you want to own your own equipment buy some boots and then rent demo skis for a season.
