So, I'm 80 years old, 200#, Size 14W/15 feet.
At 65 I used to ski the course at 26/15off on an HO 72" with XXXL (14W/15 shoes) full front and rear boots custom made for a Nautique rep; it had "Nautique" on the underside. (Desktop/NautiqueSki)
Some miscreant stole that ski from my son who was storing it while I cruised the US East Coast and the Bahamas for 15 years, in a 45' sailboat not quite fast enough to pull me.
Now, I'm relearning muscle memory (Skip skis at 80! · Thursday, Jul 17
) on an undersized HOCharger with adjustable boots; it's not the same, which is putting it mildly.
I know technology has moved immensely since then, so despite my getting up and out again today, I need something more directly suited to me. But I'm not entering any competitions; I'm just not letting the old man in, as the song goes.
What ski/boot combo would you recommend? And if you've got the perfect ski and boots and you're moving up, send me a message ASAP before I buy something new!!
