Hello friends... I am in my first ski season and am comfortable with all the greens I have encountered so far and learning on some blues. I wanted to pick up my own gear as I had been going often and rental $$ were racking up so I went to a local ski shop who ended up being low on stock for beginner ski for my size so sold me a pair of Atomic Bent Chetler 100 (164) w/Attack 11 bindings.
I am parallel skiing now (no more wedge turns) and so far I am feeling OK using them on the greens but I took a pretty steep blue the other day and did not end well for me. Being a newbie and using this intermediate/advanced ski has me wondering if having this ski is hurting my progression as its not for such, and maybe I should try and buy/rent a used progression ski for the rest of this season and start of next and then will have this ski for when I am ready for such a ski.
Anyone's thoughts are appreciated.
