Many skiers have a problem deciphering what level of skier they are which makes picking a ski difficult. The key is to pick a range that you are comfortable with, but one you can also improve with. If you are most comfortable skiing groomed, blue runs, then classify yourself as an Intermediate. That doesn’t mean, however, that a ski rated Beginner to Intermediate is a good fit. Instead, look for a pair with your level at the lowest part of the range – an Intermediate to Advanced, in this case – this way you can improve with your ski. There is no advantage to buying a ski that is significantly better than you. More advanced alpine skis must be “loaded up,” meaning you really need to get some speed and weight into them to get them to carve. But if you can’t get the right speed and pressure, the skis will be difficult to control. One of the main things to think about when choosing a ski is honesty. Be honest with yourself on your current skiing level and where you wish to be in the near future.
