I would appreciate any advice on buying a new ski. I am 40 years old, 185 lbs and have skied for about 30 years. 10-15 years ago, I would say I could really ski (at least recreationally as there weren't many courses around although for a couple years ran them two or three times a week). Rarely run a course anymore and didn't ski much for the last 5 or 6 years since I have four young kids. Skiing more this year but only a couple of times a week but like to think I am still really getting after it when I do. Last ski I bought was an HO in 1993 or so and I have no idea what to buy. I demo'd the Radar Senate and hated it. Seemed to really drag out of the hole and on turns. Trying a Connelly Concept now and I liked it. Anyone know much about this ski? Any idea how it compares to the F1 or F1X which would probably be my next choice? Guess I am afraid of not buying enough ski but also looking for something to help me a bit more than the HO now that I am a bit...older.
