Ski Size?

[WIskier]

Hi, I was wondering if anyone could tell me if it would be alright to get a ski thats a little to big for you. For example, suppose there is a skier who weighs about about 120 pounds, the ski that should fit him would be a 65 inch ski, but would it be alright to ski on a 66 inch where you should weigh about 140 pounds or will it just be to big to ski well on?

 

 

Thanks,

Kyle

I think you should be fine on the 66... but ill ask anyway what are you using the ski for? Course or free skiing? What speed/lengths? I take it the ski is for a younger kid or woman.

I started as an 7-8 year old on a 66. The issue I had was the rtp was mounted too far back - and a ski from that era didn't really have adjustable bindings... I found myself standing on the ball of my rear foot. Looking back I wish I had a smaller ski(or at least a better binding position). In your case I don't think you'll have any of those issues. The ski will ride in the water nicely.
