How to Buy the Right Skis

Don't worry what you are and where you ski, but watch out what and where you buying skiing equipments. You may be a beginner or an expert, plan to buy well in advance simply because you may have to shop around for all things you need.

Buy Skis to Your Appropriate Level

Always mind to buy skis for your level of expertise; skis are no jokes, if you think you will bypass theoretical skill levels and go for advanced skis to save money, it's a mistake. The same goes with ski boots and ski bindings too. Even the reverse will not work for an advanced skier.

Brands to Choose From

Skis don't last more than a couple of seasons. But any compromise on the quality front will not be kind to you and takes you downhill directly. Choose wisely from the proven brands. Buying from reputed brands, you are sure of certain stated things like turn radius, high end toe plates, adjustable binding lengths, uncompromised biding surface in twin decks etc. They have carbon bases and the material of construction for binding setting is unfailing DIN: 3.5-10.
'Salomon skis' has a full range of products and for all skill levels; advanced, beginner, and freestyle skis. Being perhaps the most expensive amongst the skis sell from $700 to $800.00. Volkl Skis is another brand that has a full range of skiing gears for both beginner and advanced skiers.

Points to Check Before You Buy
  1. Check the base, graphite base will remain scratch free for long
  2. Removable brakes must be 80mm for easy tuning
  3. Check if tip/waist/tail dimension ranges from 112/69/95 mm to 130/96/124 mm
  4. Wider the waist the better it is for deep powder skiing and smaller it is, it suits prepared track skiing styles and experts.
Buy ski boots from the same stores and check whether they match the ski bindings and the bindings engage the slots perfectly.
