Here in the mid-Atlantic we sadly don't seem to get much snow anymore but I've been really enjoying my Rossi Evo OT 65 skis with partial metal edges. If I lived in a place with more snow I would definitely consider getting a wider and full metal pair since I don't ever go on groomed tracks but rather cruise around the local state parks and hiking trails.

Here's some photos from last year taking them out in Rickett's Glen State Park in PA

Alpine skiing is my true love but I've really enjoyed getting into Nordic skiing the past couple years and getting away from the crowds, lines, and high expenses of alpine skiing and just getting out to enjoy nature and relax. If mother nature cooperated more I wouldn't even bother alpine skiing on holidays/busy weekends and instead go out XC skiing instead but there's such a reliance on man made snow here anymore. :frown:
