Looking for skis-need help

[Evicka]

Hi, I would like to buy ski for myself. I am 29 years old,165 cm tall, weigh 125 pounds. I used to ski a lot in Europe. Now I live in USA and I did not ski for last 7 years. I would need help to decide which ski to buy. I would like all mountain and as universal as possible, since I am planning to ski in USA, in Europe and Canada as well on all kind of snow. I narrowed it to these:
-Atomic Royal Minx
-Atomic Foxy Mama
-K2 T9 One Luv
-Volkl Attiva Luna
-Blizzard Emocion 7400
Also if you could recommend ski boots. I kind of like Tecnica Attiva Spark but really have no clue what is good. All I know is that I would like the boots to be intermediate to advanced. Thank you all for your help.

I've only tried the Foxy Mama on your list. All mountain ski, stable and steady. Crud buster type - its actually a Metron ski. I was skiing groomers and crud the day I tried it. I didn't have the score card we use with me, so the my report was a little sketchy.

Get thee to a competent boot fitter and buy what FITS! If you haven't yet, read the boot and ski stickies at the top of this forum.

Once you have appropiate and properly fitted boots, go to a demo day or 2, or pay for some demos at a shop. The shop will usually apply your demo fee to any ski purchase you make through them.
