Easy ski to turn at slow speeds???

[ScrewYou]

Actually, almost any K2 from the past 6 years will work. They get a lot of hate on here, but I love K2 skis for trying new tricks and skiing slower, or trees/bumps.

Technique.

I don't have any that's the problem

[prays4snow]

You can look at a short turn radius that most skis list. plus if you go with something with rocker that has a softer flexing tail in a slightly shorter length than you are used to for slarving around and I think you would be happy. Offering up a specific model without knowing you weight, ability and skiing style might put you in the wrong ski.

Good point I'm 6"4 210 lbs decent skier. No racing background so my technique blows but I skied my brains out in college at Snowbird for 5 years following around pretty dang good skiers. I used to try and charge but now I'm at old man dentist and i ski a little more cautious. I still like going fast and have plenty of skis for that, I'd like something that turns easy and then I can work on becoming a better bumps skier in while hanging with the kids.

Thanks for the help

Rax😁 if you don't already know how, skiing switch and filming kids is so much fun. My boys up their game when I get they are filming on cellphone. We watch on lift. I am cruising on some of Splats rockered bro models from way back 178s ? Bottom line smaller ski, slarvy and be the photographer. Soft twin tip. See if you can keep up with them without running into people. They love when you crash. Extra points.

This.

But the K2 and Rossi S7 suggestions aren't bad either. Another idea would be any of the Blizzard non-metal freeride skis, or even the Brahma which IMO skis short, yet doesn't lose its composure if pushed.

Totally agree with this vibe very similar experience with my liitle guys, and along these lines may I suggest the Praxis concept, you don't even need to be moving to turn them. At your height and weight, the 187 will be a breeze

Nordica Patron. Plenty of the 193's still around. Black Crows Anima. You're too big for a S7, even at slow speeds.

This thread is classic TGR overthink. It's great.

It's turned into a: "I need a ski for skiing backwards slowly on bunny runs, and sometimes in the park, but only with my kids and only on sunny days for filming. It also must look funny while crashing."

I actually found that taking the meanest stiffest skis when skiing with beginners is a great way to have fun. I try to stay behind my GF by doing a lot of small hop turns.

218cm Volkl WC DH with Deflex and 17 din bindings works well for this.
