Hey folks,

I am looking to buy some ski's got into skiing the last couple of years, really enjoy it. I have mostly used my brother in-laws ski's but he has left Calgary and I was looking at purchasing a pair of my own any way.

Basically I will probably ski 15-20 times this year, am an intermediate level skier, do basically all blue runs, hopefully by the end of the year I will be doing some of the blacks along with the blues. I am not doing any back route/extreme skiing etc and would likely not be looking at doing any in my future.

I am looking for the full package of ski's, boots and bindings. Any tips on brands/where to buy would be helpful. I do not want to spend more than 800-1000. I am also 6 feet tall if that makes a difference. Tips on used skis would also be helpful.

Thanks in advance for your help.
