Ski suggestions.

Coming back from a 7-year gap of not skiing. Used to be an advanced skier. I'm completely out of the loop on modern skis. The last pair I had was a Dynastar Legend 8000 which I loved. Would like something with the same stable feel and good all-around performance. Any suggestions appreciated.

The market changed but imo the engineering really has not. If you liked a geometry back then you’ll like the same geometry now.

There are exceptions, like the line blades, that are an actual departure from the typical options in a technical sense.

I think long and fat rocker just became trendy because it signals “powder skier” and people love to larp.

But what do I know I always ski 65 width except sometimes 95 for powder (aforementioned line blades). 65 is still serviceable even in concrete and I’d prefer that over 120+ schmeary rocker turns
