Looking forward to first time on a ski bum race team this year, been skiing since the 70s, but I never really carve (more of a slarve) and never raced previously.
Skis I own were chosen more for being bumps/ungroomed friendly than anything else: Latigo (177) , FX94 (176) and Soul 7 (188)
Overall, I definitely want to improve technically (admire those skiers leaving really clean tracks) and am planning some instruction as part of this year as well.
So I think I'm ideally looking for a ski that gives good feedback on carving (probably going slower), which I could also use for ski bum racing (hopefully going faster.)
Suggestions? (If it helps, mostly ski at Stowe, 6'4"/180lbs)
Cheater GS skis (18m radius?): Rossi Hero Master (175), Head iSpeed GS, Volkl Racetiger GS
A more frontside oriented ski than what I have now: One of the Supershapes, Laser AX (unless too wide?), etc
Just ski what I have and focus on the instruction for now.
Thanks for any input.
