G3 el Hombre Fat Ski
April 8, 2010
Is this a good tele ski for a life-time alpine skier? I would stop just short of saying I'm expert on alpine (I'm not Jeremy Bloom), but many times, I'm waiting on friends and family when skiing. It's time for something new that just might slow me down while skiing in large groups. I'm an aggressive skier, comfortable in any terrain (trees, bumps, bowls, chutes), and so far I have been confined to resort skiing with the occasional hike. I want to get into tele so I can do more backcountry skiing here in Colorado. I've borrowed friends' setups three or four days here and there. Even when I get experience on tele, my guess is I'll still be doing 80% of my riding at the resort. Is this too much ski for someone new to tele but 25 years of alpine experience? I'm 6'1", 150 lbs, currently riding a 176cm alpine setup. I'm considering the 177cm.
