Wax Carvers
Posted on Sunday, August 9th, 2009 at 12:49 pmDo I need new skis?
Hubby just got new skis after demoing several. He says the new ones he tried were much more responsive. Our old skis are about 5 years old carvers.
So was hubby on the wrong skis before, or has technology moved along enough that 5 years means my skis are outdated? I still ski well on them, and they've been well maintained (edges done, waxed regularly).
If you think new skis would be a good idea, any recommendations?
I'm 5'6", skiing a 150cm Atomic C6, ski blues and easy blacks confidently. Ski blacks and double blacks with caution. Mostly ski in New England = packed powder.
Ski technology has improved over the last 5 years. You should definitely demo some newer ones. If you like the C6, try some Atomic Nomads. i demoed some last year at Sunapee and loved them, though I ended up with Volkl Tigersharks. You'll probably be quite surprised at the difference, and those mid level blacks won't seem so tough anymore!
