And safe journey to you to dude, Hope you get some good powder. Wish i be heading out myself, but i pulled the short straw and now i have to teach Pizzas and french fries

I was thinking of freeride skis but also want Piste Prestige skis aswell. So hard to decide

Carving most of all, i do stay on the slopes quite a bit. But il probley get Off piste skis some other time. I want to start training up for level 2 so i need depenble piste skis

Ok im being trying to decide for the last month about which skis to get and i cant make up my mind, so i thought i ask about it here and see who here has them or used them before and help me reach a descion. I want some good piste skis so i decided to go full out in money wise(considering i actualy have a job for once and not a ski bum)..


So any ideas

The Salomon Aero X or the Kastle MX 70

That is so not fair, that you get to ski every day, even if you do have to teach :evil: :D :D :D

Yep, Its on a maxxTracs slopes so its even more of a work out

Also it helps that i teach skiing every day or most days. I usaly have 5 to 6 classes a day. Lots of fun lol

I have two different modes that i use now, Training mode and enjoyment mode. If was to enjoy myself, i pretty much do the same as Tony. But once in Training mode, i make sure im totally focused at what im doing. As i found that i was a lazy skiier, i have to really get my act together.

Theres a couple of good work outs that i found on this site that are quite good, where im working now there is a ski Gym above the ski centre where i can practise and work on the muscles need for getting myself in condition.

It will be around 2 hours long, depending on Traffic. Its mostly ok, but you have to be carefull after Bourge st Maruice as the roads get narrow and people generaly drive quite fast. But if you take your time you should be ok.
