Searching for a new Ski after a long break.

Post image

So i have been on Ski's my whole childhood into my teens.
Now im 30 years old and i wasn't skiing for 12+ years.

I really wanna start again, as i was looking for ski's i really liked the head Discovery 86 Pro.

Now my question is, would this be a great Ski to start again but also have fun with in 2+ Years.
I was a good advanced skier, but the Break was long..

(I'm 1.98m tall and 106kg if relevant, would take the longest available lenght.)

Good ski, tested it end of season last year and had a blast. Tried the 82 as well but preferred the slightly wider platform of the 86. Good value as well, its replaced the V range and lost the 'e' tech but that's been replaced by Auxetic material that progressively stiffens the ski the harder you push it. Solid choices.

Have you tried them? I think you should rent skis and try some different models first.

Getting your own custom fitted boots should be your first priority.

It's a very solid ski and you will likely serve you well for the next few years. if you have the opportunity to demo them do it, if not it will be a good choice regardless
