Perhaps the only piece of equipment that is necessary to a newschool skier is this ski:
This is the Ten Eighty and it is made by Salomon. This ski was introduced in 1998, and became popular because of its duel tips. This basically means that the end of the ski curves at the front and the back. Another feature of this new product is that the skier is more centered on the ski compared to older skis. This feature allows the skier to be more balanced on the skis, which is extremely helpful in the half pipe and when performing tricks.
