Hi there,

I'm a very experienced skier, and have just passed a qualification that lets me instruct in Canada. I'll be starting this winter. However, I'm British and have never skiied a full season before. The only skis I bought prior to this were some old ones that I hired before, and they were dirt cheap.

Now I'm looking for a new pair that compliments my style without inhibiting my teaching ability - read: no race or freestyle skis.

I have very little experience or knowledge in skiing hardware, so I need some advice as to what I should buy. I don't want to spend more than £400, which includes bindings, any less is a bonus. I can ski pretty much any run, but as an instructor I will be predominately on the piste, rather that trekking off-piste.

It would be handy if anyone could give me some recommended models. I would prefer it if I could buy them in the UK now, instead of relying on buying them out there at the peak season.

Please ask some more questions if you need more information about my skiing.

Thanks!
Mo0k.
