Hi guys
I'd like to start practicing bump skiing - nothing extreme, no zip-line, but moderate terrain, "red" steepness (in Europe). The question is which type of ski (&boots) would make it easier.
I found a recommendation of an ex-vice-Olympic champion in mogul : no race carver but rather GS or All-mountain type of ski with a less aggressive shape, rather longer than shorter. Boot flex (for men) should not exceed 100-120.
What I've got:
- Head SS i.Speed 170cm - it's got 14m radius so according to the above it is "too aggressive"? and maybe too short for me (I am 189cm tall)?
- Fischer MTN pro 86 Ti in 175cm - it's an all-mountain ski with 17m radius, so in theory should suit better, but is it not too wide with 86cm under foot?
- what would be an "ideal" bump ski look like for me?
- my boots Nordica have 130 flex - too stiff?
Thanks for your thoughts!
Alex
