SKI EQUIPMENT

Before you buy: AMH, Barney's, REI, and Peter Glen (and other local ski shops) have experts to help you buy the best fitting skis for you. Play It Again Sports is a good resource for new and used skis. However, make sure the equipment fit your weight and height properly. Check the ski swaps but be careful to fit your skis and poles properly. It will make the difference between enjoying the sport or not. A ski is just not a ski.

Skis, poles, and boots

• One pair each Classic skis, boots & poles - Check HERE for the size chart & what to look for.
   NOTE: Classic poles and boots are different from skate poles and boots. Classic poles are shorter and the boots aren't as high up the ankle as skate boots.
• One pair each Skate skis, boots & poles - Check HERE for the size chart what to look for.
  BOOT NOTE: You can get away with purchasing "Combi Boots" instead of buying both classic and skate boots but we recommend owning both types of boots for better enjoyment.

Optional Equipment

• Ski Bag (to put skis and poles in & can be purchased at any Sports shop)
