Hi all,
My wife and I went to Okemo for our first time skiing last month. We loved it. Two days on the slopes and barely off the bunnies. I subsequently purchased a pair of Rossignol Experience 77s for myself and Temptation 77s for my wife which were highly reviewed for beginner-intermediates. Now that I've spent several hours reading the threads on this forum, I'm second guessing that decision. Our aspirations are modest - we will likely always be recreational skiers but would like to be able to ski well. PMTS skiing looks like beauty in motion to my eyes.
1. Are the skis I've purchased suitable to get started or should I return them and purchase something else?
2. What boots should I be considering and in what flex range? My wife and I are both 42 years old. I'm 5'11" (168lbs) not athletic but not hopeless either. My wife is 5'4" (95 lbs) and is a jogger and yoga enthusiast. We have an appointment next week to have our feet measured and evaluated by Paul Richelson of Feet First if any of you are familiar.
Thank you for your time and advice!
