Diva in Training
It's nearly time for our local mountain in NZ to open and it's definitely time for a new pair of skis!
My question is; should I get skis with metal? I am looking for stability on icy hardpack and skis that can cope with the cruddy, chopped up conditions we frequently experience here in the North Island. Is that what the metal is for?
Also, should the skiers weight be taken into account? Assuming, you are not a super strong and athletic 25 year old (which I am not) should a skier of 5.7 & 135 pounds even be considering skis with metal?
On my short list is the 2019 Rossignol Experience 88ti, the Atomic Vantage 90ti and the Blizzard Sheeva 9.
