looking for skiis to fulfill 2 purposes- so compromise will be necessary. willing to listen to arguements as to why this may not be sensible!
downhill piste skiing- a bit
ski-mountaineering (so weight an issue)
height 1.78m (5'10'' in the old money)
weight 84kg
skill?? 20 yrs ago skied black with minimal style, not skied since!!!! used to use 200cm skis now thinking 180 but advised to consider 170. I am not proud any more and very happy with shorter skis.
I have seen some good value skis and bindings for sale 2nd hand but skis are 178cm....
should cope with both circumstances I am told if I fit an "alpine...??" binding. any comments re this and I am aware on this forum tha passions run high on the virtues/not of certain bindings.
