Why are these shits so expensive 😭
Comment from : @cricket1772

This is good info, but I was thinking as a total beginner (I have skied a couple of times and even went down a blue but wedging most of the way) would it be a good idea to purchase used skiis?

90 mm to 100 mm waist width for a beginner/intermediate buying their first ski? That is very strange advice It seems to me that a first purchase ski that will allow someone to progress should be a mid 80 mm or mid 70 mm
Comment from : @Agramer-bs8ez

As someone who only skis on well groomed slopes in Europe 90-100mm underfoot sounds ridiculously wide to me, I consider anything above 75mm an all mountain/powder ski
Comment from : @fagyu7502

Weird advice In Europe, 76mm ski is already considered atypically Wide

Hi I am deciding to go with the blizzards you recommend in the video One thing I don’t know about is bindings Wish you talked about that in this video or another Any recommendations?

Rule number 1 Ignore the top sheet graphicsbrRule number 2 Go to a "demo day" as statedbrRule number 3 Don't demo Kastle, DPS, or Stöckli skis unless your committed to the sport or just have 💰 to burnbrRule number 4 Spend the majority of your money on boots - comfy, warm feet are more important than ski performance, unless you're racing & you're not racing if your watching this video

Comment from : @grasuh

Just looking at the thumbnail, thought for a sec why Alex Honnold started selling skies
Comment from : @nathanhalfman1

Can anybody please tell me if the Blizzard Rustler 10 Skis would be a good fit for an absolute beginner, thanks
Comment from : @saadamiens

So do you stand the skis up next to u when u have ski boots on ,sneakers, barefoot? Which one?
Comment from : @stevespace_4809

5 minutes video and dude didn't say shit Basically the conclusion is "It depends"
Comment from : @MindLukas

Comment from : @Jorge-ob6py

I’ve been skiing for 17 years ( I’m 22, only go once or twice a year, but look to start going more by myself) I live in StLouis Mo, and the nearest decent ski resort is up in Dubuque Iowa about 5 hours away I’ve gone skiing in utah, and Colorado I would definitely consider myself an upper class “intermediate” skier, and I have balls I like to go fast, cut, go through trails, and I’m starting to hit more jumps I get that all around skis are what I’m probably looking for, but what brands are the best for the money? Id like to keep it under $1,000 Any help at all is appreciated!
Comment from : @miloman812

Rental to first skis! 90mm is plenty fat and stick with a front side preference A little tip and tail rocker to make em user friendly is a bonus

Comment from : @suyarxidirov1669

Great vid Do you know? When shopping for skis & we measure them against our body height do we measure whilst wearing our ski boots or without?
Comment from : @petehuws

You go from 80mm rental carvers to 104's?
Comment from : @MattShafter

Good video, but if you are doing 101 you should have explained different terms, conditions and types of skiing you used Not a great video for beginner
Comment from : @virendrasabbanwar

Very good presentation I have been involved in the ski shop side of skiing for a long time Most people only think about ski length in relation to body height but forget to factor in weight If you have a skier that is heavy for the length of ski the performance will not be the same I have had customers that weigh 210 lbs that are 5’ 6” and another that was 150 lbs and 5’6” Both advanced skiers The 210 lbs Guy needs a 180cm and the 150 lbs Guy can use a 170-73cm ski Again this is an example and I am thinking of sizing all Mountain skis Also with a ski with more rocker you can go longer if you’re looking at Big Mountain or Powder Skis Just some ideas to consider
Comment from : @thomasmedeiros5722

Super informative, but as someone who just learned how to ski, buying $500 skis is not what's in my price range I'm hoping to find some great used skis for much less as my first year ski's but this helped me as for what to look for at my local outdoor gear exchange
Comment from : @Janegrannis

Sweet, this confirmed my ski purchase plans now the happy owner of Rossy soul 7s with Salomon switch bindings Ultimate one quiver set Yay!
