Well, I appear to be a gear advisor this year. A dear friend of mine just went skiing for the first time. She's been meaning to do it for years but just hasn't. Now that her kids are old enough to learn she feels like she should as well. How did I find out? Well, another friend of ours who just received a full set up of boots, skis, poles, helmet and goggles (she has skied before but hasn't in several years) from me told me she lent them to her (minus the skis since those were still at the shop getting tuned). Um, well, I guess that concerns me some since the boots are on the stiff side. I did tell the friend not to lend her the skis right now as I need to back down the DIN.
Anyhow, brand new skier bought a pass to Eldora after her first day.
Now she wants recommendations on skis for her to purchase. She is approximately 5'6", lean, athletic. Definitely hoping to pick up on sale/used/demo gear. Of course I'll be sending her to get a boot fitting.
