Hello,
I feel very out of touch in regards to where to start with purchasing skis these days, as I have not bought skis in at least 10 years. I use to ski regularly for the first half of my life and taught skiing through my teens and early twenties, but have been only snowboarding for the last ten years.
I want to get some new skis and feel clueless. Do you know if these skis are quality skis? I have read different information about who makes them. Do you know if they are made by Dynastar of Rossignol?
Thank you,
Carolyn

Hi Carolyn,
First off no need to be intimidated by buying new skis. I think anytime you're purchasing a big ticket item like skis you want to be very sure with your decision. With that said I'm not sure a mid-fat twin would be the best first ski back for you. I'm picturing maybe more of a carving ski to begin. Have you ever been on shaped skies? I can't remember exactly when they first came out. I think the Roxy SWEETHEART might be a good starting point. What type of terrain and conditions are you most likely to be in? One foolproof way of getting the ski you want is going to a Demo day or try "rent to buy". Then you'll have a better idea of what the new technologies are. And also what will fit your needs on the slopes.
Regarding who makes these skis. Roxy is a parent company of Quiksilver and this is one of there first major collaborations with the Rossignol Group.
Let me know what else I can do to help.
