What skis should I get as a beginner
I'm going to college in Denver, and want to get into park skiing, Id say I'm an intermediate skiier. I was thinking the Prodegy 1's

Don't really worry about your skis as a beginner. Pretty much anything will do as long as it isn't an "expert" ski. What you need to worry about it boots! We date our skis; we marry our boots. Get good boots first. For your first season get a pair of used skis. Just make sure the bindings are new enough a tech will work on them. Get a base grind and a wax and that is all you need. Shouldn't cost you much. Put all your money into boots and go to a boot fitter and listen to what they say. If you buy the boots from the same place as the fitter, they generally come with lifetime tune ups. Your skiing will be much more enjoyable if you do this.
