Hello Pusgki community,
I know that there are a number of factors when choosing the correct ski length weight, height, ability, terrain etc. Curious of thoughts on this. I am on the shorter size 5" 5" male approx. 150lbs. I have been skiing in a 163cm for a few years and comfortable at that size and my ability. I am looking at a ski that only comes in a 158cm and a 166cm so thinking about going with the 158cm really like the ski. I am a strong intermediate skier mostly piste groomers can ski the blacks but not carving on edge all the time longer turns overall. The 163cm Salomon is over my head and the 158cm comes right about close to the top of my head with boots on. Any thoughts would you think the 158cm although shorter than what I am skiing with now is still a good option?
