Alpine Ski 2007/2008
Men's Sport All Mountain

With improving technology this group of skis gets better every year. If you're stepping up from rental skis or are on a budget there will be some great sticks in this group. The improvement you will find here is stability at higher speeds and a great feel of better balance. You don't have to ski them fast to turn easy but it is there as you improve. Most of these waist widths will be from 70mm to 78mm. You might want to stop in and see what kind of deals we have on skis, bindings, boots, and poles as a package.
