    Lightweight carving ski suggestions for a 15 year old boy

    My youngest son really likes to carve. He's in line for the hand me down skis of his older brother. Unfortunately, the two boys are built completely differently.

    Carving ski recommendations please

    Hello all: This year I am hoping to progress my carving - high angle skiing. Two years ago I went to Bachelor with my oldest son and borrowed a friends Rossi Pursuit ski (the 800 HPI ---I think). Skiing corn snow with that ski was a bit of a revelation! Since then I have been looking to get...

    Compare/contrast: the four 2018 Fischer Curve models
