Beginner Ski recommendation for Seattle/PNW
I recently started skiing and had a great time taking some lessons this year at Summit and Crystal. Planning to stick to these resorts for the next couple of seasons, mostly on the easier green or blue runs.
Scheduled a boot fitting appointment in a few weeks, but honestly, waiting in those rental lines was a hassle. So, I'm thinking about grabbing some beginner-friendly skis during the spring sales.
I'm 5'10" and around 170 pounds, and after some research, here are the options I'm considering:
- Rossignol Experience 76: 168 cm
- K2 Disruption 76: 163 cm
- Rossignol Experience 78: 162 cm
Any other suggestions or tips would be much appreciated! Thanks, Reddit! 🎿
Edit:
I've only had two classes and my top priority was self-preservation. Would it still be sensible for me to opt for something wider around 85, or would that potentially hinder my ability to improve and practice my technique? Thanks!
