Experts - I am looking a recommendation for a slalom ski for me. I am about 5'7" and 200lbs with no discernible skiing skills. Hoping to find something that is easy to get up on and make some turns. Not looking to start my tournament career anytime soon. I would like to find something new or used for no more than $300, if possible. What would you all recommend?
I found this 2017 HO Evo Slalom Ski 69" on ski-it-again. Would this work?

Description:
- Paulownia Wood Flex-Core: Lightweight high strength Paulownia wood core for better ski flex and an ultra-soft feel
- Surf Inspired Fish Shape: Lower aspect ratio with wider tail = ultra-efficient planning surface for performance at slower speeds and easier deep water starts.
- Clean Edge Technology in tail for 50% less drag than conventional skis
- Bevel-less design with high volume concave – more stability in chop and rollers
- RTM Surf inspired freeride fins – Multiple fin options to add even more versatility to the ski. Ride anything!
Amongst the chaos of the modern world, a new movement is emerging. Individuals are seeking wild, natural places, foregoing the comfort and connectivity of the modern world, for adventure and uncertainty in the natural world. Weekends once reserved for shopping and consuming are being replaced with an explosion in camping, surf safaris and exploratory backcountry skiing and snowboarding. Why can’t water skiing be included in this fun? HO envisions a world where city dwellers escape to the beach on weekends to surf, fish, camp AND WATER SKI. We dream of bumming a ride off a local fisherman for a dawn patrol water ski session before a day spent hiking in the forest. Or what about a weekend camping trip with your friend’s jet ski to explore the lake you always dreamed of laying turns on. Don't you want to seek out what is around the next bend in the river? Slalom courses, manmade ski lakes and tournament ski boats will always be a part of water skiing, but there can also be so much more. With the right ski and hardy sense of adventure, water skiing’s future can be wide open again. It is with this intention that EVO was created: A water ski to introduce new participants to a sense of adventure and the experience of skiing on water; A water ski to break tournament skiers out of our routines, to reintroduce us to participating with the public and discover a new way to fall in love with skiing again; A water ski to ignite the Adventure Skiing Movement and define the EVOlution of water skiing.
