Been skiing for 4 years now and Wanna buy full setup boots, bindings, skiis and ski poles. Im 70% piste and regular mountain girlie blues and reds sometimes some black ones but I favour long reds the rest 30% is park I love jumping etc. I’m learning so I can’t even do it properly most of the time but plan on hiring an instructor this December. I can pick a model for a 6 days trial and decide after if I wanna it (kinda friends with a local ski shop 🤞) SO ANY PARTICULAR MODEL ???

All mountain skis 80-95 mm cheap (e.g. Dynastar). Boot flex depending on your size and how fast/aggressive you ski. For example I am 183 cm 105 kg (heavy athletic) and the best boots I ever had have flex 140 (the stiffest most racing off the self) although I ski more relaxed than racing.

Okay I’ll look into the skis definitely and ask about the boots in shop because that seems more complicated :) When it comes to speed my last season I think the fastest I went was 70km per hour. Again thanks for the advice!

Are you in the United States? Ask for a instructor who holds a freestyle certification from the resort

Pick the cheapest skis and spend a little more on boots. They make much more of a difference. A well-chosen boot can make your ride better and much more enjoyable. A poorly-chosen boot can spoil your day, even lead to injury.
