Buying Guide
To find the best deals on skis, shop during the spring, as manufacturers and retailers will raise the prices closer to winter and the skiing season. When purchasing skis, select a pair based on what they will be used for. Mountain or alpine skis are better suited for mountain or recreational use, where as slalom, mid-fat and fat skis are shorter and better suited for racing. Twin-tips are a specialized variety of skis designed for competitive jumping and half-pipe use. -
