After years of using my dad's Kidder from the 80's, I'd say I'm ready for a new ski! I'm 18 years old, and I've been skiing for about seven years. I've slowly progressed to an intermediate-advanced skier, but I am by no means close to an expert! I am pretty comfortable in open water at around 28-31 MPH, but I have not made an attempt at the course yet (we don't have one on our lake). Being that I don't know any pros, and no other friends or family members have bought a new ski in a while, I need a few tips! What style? What brands? What bindings? What I do know is that I would be anywhere from a 67-69" and that HO, Radar, and Connelly are all good brands. I'm looking for something that will be a great intermediate all-around ski that will also be suitable for the course if I choose to do so. Thanks!
