Ok team, after it being recommended on my thread re body position I just might be in the market for a carving ski however I have absolutely ZERO knowledge of carving ski's and what I might be looking for.
I did demo a pair of Atomic Cloud 9's the other day and was very underwhelmed by them, the rep did say I probably wouldn't like them, he even went so far as to say they were a "Sunday Mums Ski" , his words not mine ! The L3 guy who I've been skiing with mentioned I might like a kids race ski at around 150cm. I skied today in spring conditions with another friend who busted out his old racing ski's and after a few tentative runs (lets face it they are terrifyng when your used to skiing a much wider ski) and after he got used to them again he was raving about them, he even took them down a heavily slush puppied mogul run and had a ball ( I too had a ball on my Sheevas just sayin). So here I am seeking your knowledge and advise once again
Oh I'm 165cm (5'5"?) and around 56kg and an okayish skier, oh and I'm 58 so no spring chicken and have very little leg strength (I missed "leg day"
) x
