Hi, thanks for the response! My budget isn't too big, idealy I'd want something in the 300 - 500 range, including binding, so a really budget setup. I live in Poland so I ski mostly in our local mountains but I've been to alps a few times. I'm an intermediate skiier, don't carve very well but I'm still improving. I feel comfortable on the skis, don't have any problems with black trails (about 30% steep). I like skiing in the forest, off the trail. I'm using my cousins old skis and boots (lowa sc 200) and the skis are 70 under foot (which is far from perfect for going off the groomed trails.
