Little ski advice

If you'd like an easy ski to get up on, but one that still seems to rip, look at the Goode wide design. I haven't been on one, but people seem to love it. I've been riding their asymmetric 9800, which has been a great ski. The design gives the off-side turn a very nice feel.

I went ten years without upgrading my old ho skis. I was running a monza and a system 8. a few years back I picked up a left over strada. Killer ski! Crazy how much technology has advanced the skis. I'm running a 2012 love it but I'm thinking of another upgrade this winter.

Since you're planning on getting back into the course I'd say just go for the top. I'm a 15 into 22 skier (34 MPH 53 years old) and I'm on a D3 Quest which is a full on course ski and it's been good to me from 28 MPH on. I'm 180 lbs on a 67 so I'd agree with Cusefan, 69 is probably for you. That being said, I had a Senate for a season before it was stolen, and have nothing bad to say about it, it's a very good ski. Nowadays at our level, any top ski will be a great ski.

I will say, it's always a bit of a strain getting out of the water, but you can't run the course on a wide ski anyways besides which, 34 mph in the course is a lot more work than getting out of the water anyhow.

Go big or go home. Get one of these and you can never blame missing a ball on the ski again.
