Yes. Also a good piece of advice is to go to the ski shop and do some "pretend" shopping. They don't need to know what you're up to. Anyway, ask for some advice on what are the best skis for your conditions (i.e. wax skis, fishscales, steps, etc.). I really would advise that you stay away from skating skis. They are too skinny and require that you stay on a groomed track. Franklly, I don't see much fun in running around a track as fast as you can at a commercial operation. Skiing to me is about more than standing in line with a bunch of plastic show-offs so I can get run over by them as they skate by going like a bat out of hell and missing entirely the outdoors experience. Get a "classic" width ski and ski the classic style. If you get a wider classic ski, you'll have no trouble skiing on a snowmobile track. Unless you're quite far north, you'll probably want waxless skis (fishscales or steps). Again, see what the local pro advises when you're "shopping" at his store. Then you'll know what you need when you hit the ski swaps like Sourdough advised.

go to aspen ski and board, they might not have a store in your are, i think they are a columbus ohio based operation, but they have a website, that i was on the other day looking for skis myself, you can get a package deal, i am looking at some k2's and i like the package thats on there for about 400 bucks, they are having a sale right now, due to the changing of the season, but overall good skis at good prices, the package includes your boots skis poles and bindings.... good luck shopping
