I also have some 155 carvers. They are a lot of fun, but the only time I really use them is skiing with kids. Skiing on longer skis at kiddy speeds is boring. Making hard turns at lower speeds on short skis is not only more fun for me, but the kids see the turns and copy them. If you are on longer skis, just skidding about as you escort the kids, they will copy that too - not so good.



because I'm so inclined .....

I am 4ft 11 (and a half) and currently ski on 156 skis. They are all mountain, with semi twin tips. I'll probably upgrade this year and get some rockers, I expect I'll stick to pretty much the same length.
