I am a intermediate skier and what an all round ski generally ski on piste. I'm just in my sixties so good control is more important than speed . Mostly I ski in Italy . Any help information ie make and type of ski and if I can buy on line or is it best to go to a shop. I have a very basi set of carvers but think I have outgrown.
Thanks

Fischer Motive 80's would be a pretty good ski for you. Good all round, all mountain, go anywhere ski.

If you ski mainly on piste I would go for something between 70 and 80mm underfoot with a wood core and sidewalls, don't buy a cap ski. If possible test a few pairs and pick the one that feels the best. There is a ski manufacturer in Bologna that makes very nice skis http://www.carpanisci.com/ it looks like he could do with a hand translating his web site into English, maybe you could do a deal. It's no problem to buy skis online you just need to tell the shop your boot sole length which is moulded into the boot (usually on one side above the heel) and the DIN setting that you want the bindings set to. A couple of shops worth looking at are; Catti Sport in Traversetolo http://www.cattisport.com/index.php and Bottero Ski in Limone http://www.botteroski.com/Negozio/Scripts/default.asp some of their own brand skis are made by Blossom skis another good Italian manufacturer.
