I just realized I've had my current skis for 10 years. Time to check if the bindings are still good and start looking at new skis.
I am a female skier, 42, 5'1, 165 lbs. I consider myself an intermediate recreational skier, skiing groomed blues and easy blacks in the East, 3-5 days a year. I am a slow tempo skier with generally short to medium radius turns and learned traditional technique skiing as a child. I have 10 seasons of PMTS learning using the books and videos plus 3 camps. Green/Blue (2014), Short Turn (2015), Blue/Dark Blue (2016). In 2018 I took 3 private lessons with Walter at Alpine Meadows. My SMIM is tipping.
My current skis are Head the Link at 160 cm. Geometry 122/70/105 TR:12 Harald recommended them as a great PMTS learning ski. viewtopic.php?f=2&t=3432
I am looking for an easy flexing ski that is good for PMTS beginners/learners. Length: 155-160 cm, waist: 70 mm or less.
I read through these 2 threads: Head SS eOriginal viewtopic.php?f=2&t=5632 and eSpeed viewtopic.php?f=2&t=5771 but I'm still not sure which would be a better ski for me. Other recommendations for PMTS learning skis welcome.
