I have skis I'm very happy with (Rossi RPM oversize 10's, a model they
stopped making a few years ago) for skiing here, in the East. They are good on ice, don't chatter at speed, and are still pretty easy to turn for an advanced ski. They're not especially good in powder, which is OK because when I bought them I rarely skied powder. Last time I skied out West (Solitude, Utah) I could barely ski, the powder was so deep. 12-16 inches new inches per day. Even the groomed runs had 6-8 inches by morning). I took some lessons which helped, but I still skied pretty poorly, like a low intermediate (in the East, I consider myself advanced, but not expert). I'm going to Vail next week. I'm wondering if I should rent fat skis if there is a powder day. I've already spend a ton of money on shipping my skis and even more on a hotel (next time I'll check hotel rates before buying my plane tix) and I hate wasting time in ski rental lines, but if renting fat skis would be worthwhile I will. Any thoughts about renting fat skis? |
