Selecting what type of skis, snowboard and ski jackets can seem confusing, but this article is to help steer you in the right direction. Crested Butte ski and snowboard rentals come in many different flavors. From parabolic skis to fat powder planks, the choice is yours. For those who lust after Colorado corduroy, you’re ideal ski will differ from a powder hound.
For corduroy skiing, you’ll most likely stick to shorter skis with deep sidecuts, which will enable you to simply put your skis on edge and let the magic of the “hour glass shape” do the work for you. Parabolic skis have revolutionized the ski industry because of their ability to perform quick edge to edge turns. Much less leg work goes into controlling these types of skis.
Powderhounds on the other hand need a longer, fatter ski, which will enable them to float on top of the powder. Though many powder skis still provide sidecuts, the radius isn’t nearly as dramatic. Dozen or so Crested Butte ski shops will have various styles of skis for virtually every ability level. From beginner to expert, you can rest assured that this unique mountain resort will cater to your skiing needs.
Though often overlooked, boots are just as important as skis. Often times, beginner and intermediate skiers get boots that are too big. If you’re feet are free to move around in your ski or snowboard boots, you won’t be able to control you skis or snowboard. You need your feet securely in place to really understand how to control your skis when and where you want them.
