Searching for the ski that does it all?  Look to the Volkl Grizzly or AC30 as your one ski quiver... they are wider than last year and more nimble, thanks to wider mounts between the bindings and the skis.

                        BUYING VS. RENTING

Over the years, we have heard this question many times.  It's a good one, but the answer really depends on the skier.  For some, especially beginners and those who have just made it to the ranks of intermediate skiers, renting skis can make sense.  And for those who ski infrequently, say less than once a year, renting makes economic sense so its a reasonable option.
But if you are even semi-serious about making progress as a skier, then buying your skis is one of the best investments you can make in improving your abilities.  Most intermediate and advanced skiers know that good ski boots can make a real difference in their skiing abiliities.  Properly fitted boots are not only more comfortable, but they provide better power transmission and more precise control.  But what you are controlling are your skis, and every ski has its own performance characteristics. 

When you rent and go from ski to ski, you don't get a chance to develop a deep, intuitive understanding of how they perform or to really push their limits.  Think about it:  You wouldn't switch out your golf clubs after every round, or use a new tennis racket every time you played.  Instead, you would want to spend time learning how your clubs or racket feel, growing familiar with their performance so you could concentrate on your technique.  The same thing applies to skis.  By consistently using the same skis, you learn how they perform in a variety of conditions and circumstances.  When your skis are a known variable, you are free to concentrate on improving your technique. 

So if you want to see faster, more consistent progress as a skier, you are short-changing yourself by renting a different pair of demo skis every trip.  If you have goals and aspirations as a skier - and are determined to reach them - it's time to step up to the plate and buy a good pair of skis and boots.  You'll be glad you did.
