What size skis do you use?

My mate, Stu, obligingly offerimg the base of the ski for you to check the length.

210 straights, in deep snow, steep run through the trees, on the Standart abfahrt, Niederau. Stu is about 5ft 6in.

I ski 190's ...there's a lot of me and I like the stability

In the days when skis were a proper length ....
:roll:

I used to hoik up the tails and stand them on top of my ski boot when in a cablecar or whatever.

Extra 3" or 4" that way.
:mrgreen:

We all did that Andy, could make my 215 White Stars into 225s!

Skis are getting longer again, if buying skis that have a rocker you want to add 10cm.

Had some 240cm KL skis in the boot room.

Couldn't lift the b*****s let alone rest them on my boot.

Is bigging up the size of your skis a bloke thing?

Length means little if you haven't got the width...
