Bit off-topic question about ski's

Yeh.. but you'll be skiing the latest skis each time you go..

Hmm, I'm about to drop my plans about buying them. But it was only because
it was a real bargin.

not an ageing
pair that will cost you in maintenance and transport costs (if you have to
fly to the slopes)..

I drive pretty fast over the German "Autobahn" but I wouldn't call it flying
;-))

I've thought about buying ski's myself.. but I only ski
about 2 weeks a year and I figured it wasn't worth it..

Grin, I'm talking, like, max. of one week a year....

Kind regards,

Marinus

What length of carve ski's should I use?

Red ones.

I'm not quite familiar with that continental unit. How much is that in
centimeters?

And for the cost of what they charge for a sevice in the UK you can easily
buy some basic service material yourself and do it yourself.

And hired skis are much faster on rocks, mud, etc
