Skis Under $400

With skis under $400, start by comparing simple, forgiving designs with earlier seasons of more substantial skis. A familiar shape from last winter can deserve a closer look than a new graphic on a less suitable pair. Check your intended length first, then choose a waist that works on your everyday snow. A manageable flex matters more than features intended for speeds you rarely reach. Spending a little more can be worthwhile to get the correct size or better support for your weight. Skip an awkward length bought just for the deal, and budget separately for compatible bindings and mounting.
