A guide to assist you in finding your perfect match is finally here! This article will help you find YOUR ideal ski, whether you are new to slaloming or have been slalom skiing since birth.
Some key factors to note when in the market for slalom skis are the length, the skier's weight, ability levels, and boat speed.

Slalom skiers who tend to ski slower than 21 mph generally start off on combo slalom skis. Combo slalom skis is a pair of two skis with one foot in each ski. “Slaloming” is typically one ski with both feet on that one ski in front of another. It doesn’t matter what foot forward you are, left or right; any slalom ski will work.
Price
This sport is SUPER pricey—especially slalom skis. Slalom skis are expensive because they are designed with advanced performance materials like graphite and carbon fiber. They are made for perfection to complement your slalom abilities. Not only are the slalom skis made with high-quality materials, but the slalom community is also niche. This means the waterski community is small, which makes the production lower with higher prices.
