As noted above, BOOTS. A well fitted pair of boots makes this sport enjoyable all day, not just a few hours. Spend the money for a good fitter and keep going back until you are satisfied. After all, you are parting with some hefty change and making a several year investment.
Skis? I have skied all mountain skis until this season when I bought a pair of Volkl RTM 84's as they are great front side groomer skis which handle crud well and are very stable. At 66, my days of bump bashing and huge, long powder days are behind me but I still rip groomers. My point is to figure out what you predominantly ski and buy a ski that fills that niche. Demoing is a good way to find a ski you like. ebay has some great deals post season if you know what you want.
Just got back from 2 weeks in CO at Ski Cooper and Summit County and this is not the best snow year, tho Cooper had the better snow. Regardless, it was a lot of fun other than my worst crash in 10 years at A Basin last Sunday.Still a bit sore and my mojo was stolen for a couple of days.
