I've been learning the course, for me that means going slow, working on form and trying not to get hurt. I've been skiing 28-30mph/15. I've been on the HO Carbon Omni and honestly love it. Very stable, easy to turn, and took me from not able to run the course to routinely making complete passes. Definitely a ski to consider. Syndicate Omni would be another and I'm sure many here would strongly recommend the radar senate. Can't go wrong with these. FYI, I'm 6'4, 195lbs, 44yo.
