Hey ski divas
There have been so many posts asking what ski to choose.
If you’re one of those people and you’re looking to progress as a skier, go to a narrow waist ski. And don’t take my word for it, but Deb Armstrong’s. See her YouTube video pleading for learners to get on a ski that won’t hamper progress (i.e. a small waist ski). For those that don’t know Deb Armstrong, she’s a world class skier and a world class instructor.
My trainer (psia east demo team member) as well told me if I want to progress I need to get off the 90 mm waist skis and get to a narrower ski. He is one of the most joyous skiers I know and also one of the kindest. He’s not the type to say that to just say it. I can say from my own experience the 65-68mm waist underfoot skis have actually taught me and my skills improved as a skier just from skiing those skis.
the wider width ski is great for deep powder days and after attaining skiing skills. Deb herself says as such in the video linked!
Give it a listen!
And divas who have progressed on small waisted skis (60-80mm underfoot), please share your story too!
