I go skiing every year (twice this year) and have always resisted buying my own skis. Partly because it's yet another thing to get to the airport and partly because skis seem to improve quite a lot each year. However my husband pointed out that the cost of renting them this year was about half what ordinary skis would cost to buy.
If you own your own skis, what sort do you have? Most recently I enjoyed renting Atomic Cloud 9s (at New Year) and Atomic Redsters (last week). I am heavy for a woman skier (about 100kg) so would need something reasonably stiff. I can ski most things but am not particularly fast. I don't go off piste (too middle aged).
If you own your own skis, how much of a faff is it is get them serviced each year?
