If you are thinking about going; am I to assume then it is your first time skiing? If you have never skiied before, I would suggest renting first. You'll learn the best size ski to ski on and an idea of what size boot you are. A great resort that let's you try skis depending on your level and size, Copper Mountain.

Now, go to a store, an actual ski store, and speak with a salesclerk to learn more info. Try on boots, and touch and feel your skis. Get an idea on costs.





If you want to learn a little before going into the store so you'll know what they are talking about first, here is a great site. Choose the selection you want to learn about; ie, choosing boots will teach you how to size your boots to buy, etc.

Now that you know what you want to buy, compare the same product at the store to stores online. I feel confident that you'll find bettter deals. Start here...

Reply:To find a boot that fits, you need to try several on and compare them side-by-side...there is no other way. Plan to spend several hours trying different boots on, and try to find ski shop with experienced bootfitters that can help you choose. Generally you go down 1-2 sizes from your shoe size, but you can't simply order one from a website without trying it on. Keep in mind that all brands of ski boots have different fit characteristics, so try EVERYTHING on.





Bindings aren't that important, as most of them are built well. Just look for something that has a light weight and is made by a reliable brand (Salomon, Marker, Look/Rossignol, Tyrolia, etc.). The DIN should range up to at least 10, and 12 would be preferable (although it is impossible to decide seeing as you didn't leave your weight) Most skis today are integrated anyway, so you might not need to worry about bindings at all.





For the skis, you will need to decide what type of ski you want to buy. There are different types for racing, recreational skiing, and freestyle/freeride skis. Again, your weight is the main factor in deciding your ideal ski length. Most manufacturers have a chart on their website that tells you what length to get depending on your weight, skill level, and the type of ski that you are buying. Just make sure that you don't buy used skis because it is unsafe and rarely worth it.





You should probably spend some time trying on boots at your local ski shop and doing some research on skis. The best way would be to demo some new skis (there are usually demo days at most ski resorts where you can try out a lot of skis from many different manufacturers).





Once you find a setup that you like, online would be the cheapest place to order them.





Here are some sites for buying skis. eBay is also a good place to look for new skis.

Reply:you should just visit your local ski shop and ask if they have any of last years rentals for sale.. they can also help you with the sizing.
Reply:I suggest NOT going to a website. You should go to a retail ski center. They will be able to measure your foot and find good boots for you. I also suggest going to a small ski resort that has ski demos and trying out a bunch of the skis. I could tell you that I LOVE atomics and K2 skis, but you could ski a completely different way than I do and you may feel more comfortable on Nordicas or Rossingals.





It costs about $50 for a lift ticket to a decent resortt and about $20-$50 for a full day of unlimited test demos. Just try out whatever pair strikes your fancy, do a few runs in them, and if you like them, remember the name of the ski and then try out the next ski higher or lower from that one and see if either are easier.





Suggesting a website is, in all honesty, the worst thing anyone could do. If you spend $2000 on new gear and then find out none of it fits, you will have to pay for all the returns. :(
Reply:Have you never rented skis before? Next time you do, pay special attention to the size they pick for you and ask about bindings and all of that. Then visit a good ski shop and try out a few skis. Then go to Ebay and make your choices. The end of the season is great for selection and bargins.
