New Stick

Hey Guys. Looking to buy a new ski this year while Im down here in Florida. Some feed back on skis would be great. Not a competitve skier, but have my own course and ski regularly. Oldere fellow , 51 , compared to some of the others here. LOL.
   Looking at the Radar Line, ski 28 off 34 mph, hopefully shorter some day, any recomendations on ski? Which model?
Any input would be great. My old Mapple is geting wore out and binding s are wearing , once again.
  Thanks very much.
        Doug:cool:

Re: New Stick

Perhaps the Senate or Senate C from Radars line.  They are supposed to be some of the best for 34 skiers.  You might also want to take a look at the ski review section, you can find it here: http://www.proskicoach.com/skis/

Re: New Stick

Skiboy, we are about the same age and I highly concur with trichter. I've been on the Senate for two years and run lots of sets, held up well and for the $'s, can't be beat..

Re: New Stick

The senate C will be more responsive, but I cant speak about durability.

The "C" will be Much faster as well.

If your budget allows, I would absolutely get the "C", it will not only allow you to grow in your ability. But, it will help you grow and it's capabilities will go about as far (short) as you may ever want to go...
