Dave Neustel shared more about the skis they have in-store that are well suited for the mountains found here in our own backyard. “In the Midwest what we have is flatter terrain as well as harder snow and so we’re looking for skis that have a lot of edge grip gives us control on that ice and are really easy to turn. Because The shorter hills and the flatter terrain, you know, we want to get as many turns as we can get down the hill.”
