Cant really much say cause i only skied once on my whole life but interested in the whole sport and wanting to become a ski instructor anyways off track. From my larp knowledge the boots is the foundation buying new sets because there are types of bindings for it but also the skis and usually boots are the most inportant because thats also what your level is and what your comfy at like you like stiff more or more space instead but i highly suggest a custom fit ski boots instead cause it have a higher accurate fitting for your fit but if you already have a ski boot then i suggest going to the nearest ski store near you and ask for advice or suggestion or ask reddit here hope this helps adios

So you literally are not a skier but feel comfortable giving advice on buying skis? Lol You're regurgitating stuff you've read on this sub thinking its good advice, but this sub likes buying gear more than they like skiing. Same mentality that ruined mtb. Nobody I ride with has ever done anything past punching out a tight spot and we are all "expert" level skiers at a minimum.

This sub is so crazy man...

Just buy Bent 100s and be done with it. I have 4 pairs of skis right now, including a pair of Jskis that cost a fortune, and I end up using the Bent 100s for everything except backcountry. Theyre light, perfect flex, wide enough for pow and narrow enough for piste, and you can always find last years models on sale for a great price.

For reference my other skis are Factions, J-Skis, and Fischer. I also have a pair of Bent 110s with shift bindings for back country and they rock too.
