Hello there, I just signed up. Not sure if I should use existing threads for these type of things, I see there have been others like me, asking similar questions.
Anyway, classic story: used to ski regularly during the winters as a child, up until the age of 10-11 or so. Since then, nothing at all. Fast forward 30+ years, to last week, when I made the spontaneous decision to go with a group of people, with similar lack of skiing ability. And we had a blast. In the children's track. So much fun. And now I know I have to do more of it.
I tend to get a little over-excited and rash with my decisions when I'm hooked on new things, so I'll need to check with you guys if this is stupid:
I've been checking the second hand market, and found a pair of these skis at a decent price. With bindings. I'm buying boots from a friend of mine.
I've been watching reviews of the Atomics, and people seem to love them. However, those people are very good at skiing. I'm not. They're saying the skis are awesome, but better suited for people who aren't beginners. So, the question is: are the skis too good for me?
Appreciate any input here.
