I just want to ensure that I don't get an overly short ski and some good insight.


*awaiting the lashes*

Cupolo sports? Do a search before you buy from them.

Are you really 135lbs? Are you female?
Look for something around 170-175cm

Jeebus! Firstly you need to eat more. Then you need to buy yourself some Stockli Stormrider XL's @174. - Great EC Ski.

Sorry I don't know those skis you mentioned but they seem very very short. 157!:eek:

Edit. Tracy has a point. are you female?

No not female! Not that there's anything wrong with that!
Had a couple fo surgeries (back!) so lost a lot of upper body weight.
slowly coming back. I may be 140, I dunno.

So any suggestions? is 160 to short? waste of $$ adn should grab 170's?
also found atomic SX 7's for 330 CAD.

The 4800 is the same ski as the Intuitiv 74, which can be found really cheap. Fantastic ski with great performance that is fairly easy to ski. Get the 174cm if you think you'll put some of the muscle back on. I've put 2 friends on these, and they both love 'em. Much better ski than the others listed (though I don't know the speedmachines...).

Well I am looking at closeout deals so sizes are limited.

So 158 is too short? I was going off relative "ski size charts".

However what about the scream limiteds? or overhyped? that I can grab 160 or 70
