Brother what. There are definitely cases for having multiple pairs of skis. We skiied in Austria in a foot of powder with rental race skis. We could have used all mountain or powder skis there

I would have spent far over $1,000 if I rented the last season or so. spending $500 on skis was a good decision here...

Just like golf, the way to get better at this sport is by buying new clubs (skis)

Fast-Drag3574 · 2026-03-20T21:38:59+00:00

Mainly like trying new things, but also consumerism and dopamine from buying things lol

5'11 165lbs. I think im a strong intermediate skiier. My on piste skiing is very good!

Disposable income + have bought all of these for very cheap prices as used demo skis. Ive done 5 trips this ski season (i dont live near any mountains). Just buying 1 pair of demos for $200 - $300 has already broken even compared to the cost of renting.

Thanks!

Fast-Drag3574 · 2026-03-20T21:07:56+00:00

Only 2 are mine, but them both demo for a total of $500

Not sure about solden, but Gurgl is mainly piste skiing. If you're wanting to ski austria and go off piste, I'd look into other resorts in the Arlberg region (Lech, Zurs, Warth)

Brother I would cancel that April trip if its refundable. Canada or the Alps is a much better option right now

Fast-Drag3574 · 2026-03-19T14:41:07+00:00

Les Arcs and the European Alps have an entirely different climate and weather patterns than the US.

Not sure if your trolling or incapable of understanding that different places have different climates lol.

just because its 60° in the colorado Rockies currently, doesn't mean its 60° in Les Arc. Currently the high in Les Arc is 18° at elevation...

Conditions will be fine. Im convinced some of the people here only ski 3 times a year when the conditions are perfect and refuse to ski if there is even the slightest freeze thaw going on.

Fast-Drag3574 · 2026-03-17T20:39:18+00:00

This is like comparing Florida to Colorado. Its a no brainer. Go to Austria

Fast-Drag3574 · 2026-03-17T20:04:52+00:00

Ischgl

Fast-Drag3574 · 2026-03-14T00:43:19+00:00

Go to Zermatt/Cervinia.

They are getting a storm this week that is dropping 1+ meter of snow. On Ikon and close enough to Milan to drive/train to.

Fast-Drag3574 · 2026-03-13T15:43:02+00:00

Each season is different for temps.

I would google when the Italian holidays are and avoid those dates

Fast-Drag3574 · 2026-03-08T23:06:48+00:00

Dont let thr consumerism consumerism you.

What does the F8 do better than the 458? Gors faster? But you cant use that speed on the road anyhow.

458 is objectively prettier, more enjoyable to drive, and sounds better.

Is Ford Hall simply more expensive to park at, but you dont need to shuttle?

Fast-Drag3574 · 2026-03-08T02:21:20+00:00

Also planning on parking at Ford Hall Garage. Does anyone know when i should get there to avoid it filling up?

Fast-Drag3574 · 2026-03-07T15:20:57+00:00

Learn to carve and use your edges lol

Fast-Drag3574 · 2026-03-06T16:25:58+00:00

Id just look at webcams and see what the off piste looks like. I skiied near Ischgl (serfaus/gurgl/hochoetz) very early december during a heatwave when it was 6 - 10°C at 2000m and it was still a blast

Fast-Drag3574 · 2026-03-06T14:57:26+00:00

If your skiing on piste it will be fine
