I’ve been skiing for a couple years, all east coast (southeast at that). I plan to do one trip out west a year, but mostly will stay in the ice for the season. I run a Head Kore 93 189 which I feel would be quite decent out west for once a year, but have yet to test it. I always heard a wider/longer ski could inhibit growth, but at 6’1 275lbs I wanted something stable at speed and have really enjoyed this ski. I do mostly blues/blacks and originally had a tough time turning it, but got the hang of it eventually. From people that have way more experience than me, thoughts for using this as my primary east coast ski and west coast maybe once a year? I don’t know if the grass is greener if no one tells me because I have limited experience, but I don’t feel like it’s holding me back personally. I just love to ski!
