HI Guys
Just joined the Board and excited about a new season of Skiing. I'll be in Japan twice this year, and had a couple of questions that I was hoping the good people here could help me out with.
The first is are there any PMTS instructors in Sapporo? I'll be in Hirafu, Tommamu and Kiroro.
Secondly, I'm thinking of getting Head Supershape Speed 2017 which are 68mm waisted. As many of you know Sapporo is known for loads of dry power, and 10-12m falls in a season.
For on-piste, is 68mm going to be too narrow for a beginning skier (Level 5) skier with 30 days of total ski time to learn PMTS on? My ski instructor says he generally recommends 85mm, but 68mm is OK unless it gets very deep and I lose too much speed. Which I take in his opinion its workable, rather than a good idea. (He's not PMTS trained)
If the second question is better posted on the gear section, I'd be happy to do so.
Many thanks for any help guys!
