Otherwise, regular touring skis, which are wider, are best. k In terms of stiffness, the best ski for all beginners is a soft-fle- x ski as tall as the wrist of a hand stretched overhead. For easy turning, the ski should have at least 4mm of side camber (the difference between the width of the ski at its middle and its width at the tip and tail). Fiberglass skis, with fast, synthetic bases, cost more ($60 or better) but usually are more durable; some are guaranteed against breakage. Wood skis are less expensive, but may break at the tip in a hard fall. Bargain wood skis with intricate laminations for strength start at about $50.
