Write your question here...I'm a 62 yr old 190lb intermediate skier enjoying the bkues and just starting on the Silverstar blacks. I ski for about 30 days each year in BC. My head IM 70's are a bit dated and don't handle thr crud well. I want to ski in control on the groomers and the light pow and glades/bumps 80/20. I am looking at new skis for 2010, say K2 Recons or Sidewinders or mayby Volkl AC30s or Nordica Hot Rod Nitrous. Any suggestions appreciated.

Hey John. That's an interesting mix of skis you are thinking about. All four would do pretty well with what you are looking for, but narrowing down from there would depend on how you ski. Since you are coming off the HEAD IM 70, the most comparable ski to that would be the Volkl, followed by the Nordica. The K2s are pretty forgiving, but you may have more trouble in the crud with them. I would suggest the Volkl AC30 because you'll get more stability in all conditions and you'll be able to drive that ski pretty well at the right length. Hope this helps.
