Ski's (that carve) for my Anwaerter course

Hey guys

I am most likely going to take an Anwaerter course this december, and because my only pair of skis are Line Anthems I'm going to need a pair with a shorter turn radius that I can carve properly with. I am prepared to buy raceskis if there is no other option, but I wanted to check if there are any more versatile skis out there that will do the trick.

Being able to buy last year's would be awesome as I prefer not to dish out the big cash on this one

Any suggestions, as well as for bindings, are more than welcome.

I'm 184cm and about 78kg which I hope to reduce to 72ish by then with some more muscle; for you americans that's about 6ft if im not mistaken and 172lbs (by then hopefully reduced to some 160lbs)
 
Can you not just buy some cheapass race, all mountain ski for the course?

We' ll now that I think about it, if you' re gonna be teaching a lot it might be useful to shell out a little more on them because you' ll be using them A LOT i guess..

check out www.baumsport.nl for some discount deals on ski's (i saw that you' re from belgium)
 
my brother used his k2 fujatives for his instructor course and instructed with them for half a season until he got a pair rossignol scratch fs

they will probably look at you as a better instructor if you can pass on a ski like those. it shows you can ski well on whatever youre given.
 
check out the line prophet flite or prophet 90. they are very versatile skis that have a tighter turn radius
 
I see what you mean, but I doubt they'll think like that. It doesn't matter if you can ski on anything, they want you to ski good on decent gear and show the way it's supposed to be done, not have to go "if you do this like I just did, you'll do what I want you to do, but I cant because my radius is bigger so my turns are longer"

the jeronimos look promising, i sent them a mail to ask what they think
 
Quite the opposite in many cases. I've found that often you get marked more harshly on twin tips as more often than not the examiners have prejudiced towards that sort of skiing.
 
Never underestimate how much fun a WC slalom ski can be on the right day. But you probably don't need that much ski until you really get serious about your skiing.

I'm still searching for an older pair of Elan WC SL skis.
 
sadly I'm going to have to go for proper raceskis, I've asked an instructor of the school I'm going to take the course at, and he literally said "you won't have much of a chance if you show up with that kind of gear" so I'll just shell out some money for racers...

suggestions on that end are still welcome though
 
hello,

you do not need to buy slalom skis to do your instructors course. try looking at amplid c7,s or any pipe skis will hold an egde. learn to ski your short turns using pressure and leg flex instead of rotation and you will be able to do a short turn on any ski.

i passed my BASI lvl 1+2, level 2 race coaching and level 2 freeski exams all on a pair of trouble makers and amplid infra whites.

hope this helps.
 
maybe it's just me but i could carve my 169 fujatives from like 07 or 08 (the orange ones) like i could my slalom skis. I ran a couple courses and they did alright. thats all i've got experience with tho that carved like crazy. oo my old line chronic blends carved good too.
 
just get a slalom ski, my 164 cm dynastars carve extremely well and naturally go fast.

slalom ski, i bought mine with turntable bindings for $150 lightly used
