realskiers

I am 5-11 and 200 lbs. (expect to be 190 next season)

Classified myself at 6/7 based on what I have read.  Put it this way, when I demoed the Fishers, I comfortably skied any black at Stratton that did not have moguls.  I can work my way down "easy bumps" on greens and easy blues.  Next years target is to really learn how to ski bumps and to ski really cruddy conditions better with speed.  Perhaps you can tell me if 6 or 7 is the right level?

I probably made every mistake possible (technique and gear).  Started reading Harald's books last year and this really made quite a difference. I ski PMTS and am working my to becomong a true "Harbivore".

Being on a good carving ski really let me know what it is all about.  Gear wise I am looking at skis and new boots.

Thanks for all the advise.
