Skis

The Ski Bum carries 2008 skis from Atomic, Head, K2, Rossignol, Salomon and Volkl. One of the big stories this year is that there are more highly-specialized skis than ever. From big mountain powder skis with super wide waists made for those devoted to the deep snow to twin tips with buttery soft tips and tails for skiers who never want to leave the parks and pipes.

Mid-fats, or as they are called “One Ski Quivers”, are getting better and better. For those who ski both in the East and out West there is no need to have anything else. These skis give enough float in deep snow and carve up the groomers with ease. Nothing beats them for their adaptability. Generous side cuts and modest waist widths on many of this year’s new skis provide the versatility to go anywhere on the mountain, front side or back side, hard pack or deep crud.

Stop by and let us help you pick out the right ski for your next winter adventure. If you’re an East coast ripper, we’ll help you find a ski that delivers excellent edge hold and high-speed stability. For the cruisers out there, you will enjoy this season’s slightly wider skis with integrated bindings that offer excellent power transfer and edge grip for carving up the hard pack.

The women will find skis that pack the latest technology and superior performance into a package designed specifically for their physiques. Women have a different physical build than men, so their skis should be different, too. The new models have the same performance and technology as their male counterparts, but are engineered to help women ski better and have more fun.
