Search for Skis

I’m looking for a pair of skis that suits me well.

I’m 192 cm tall and weigh 87 kg.

I recently bought a pair of Lange Shadow 130 LV ski boots and I’m now looking for skis to go with them.

I’ve been skiing since I was three years old, but I haven’t skied at all over the past four years.

I ski about 90% on groomed runs in the Alps, mainly in Austria and Switzerland.

Normally, I like to ski in a sporty way and really enjoy longer-radius turns on all kinds of pistes.

Right now though, I’m skiing more slowly and mostly on flatter slopes, as my fiancée has just started skiing and I want to ski together with her.

So I’m looking for skis that are still fun at slower speeds and in shorter turns, but that I can also push once I start skiing more dynamically again.

They should work well on icy conditions in the morning as well as in softer, more chopped-up snow later in the day.
