I joined this forum about two months ago. This is my first post. The forum is awesome and it has motivated me to get back into the sport. I grew up skiing on the Sacto River in N CA. I did not get into the course until college and skied in college for about 2.5 seasons and got fully addicted, but then I went law school, got married, had kids, etc. Back in the day I was able to ski -22 at 36, thanks to some really good coaching and lots of practice. Way back then, my practice PB was a couple at -28. Fortunately, I will never have to ski at 36 mph ever again. In Oct and Nov, motivated by reading the forum, I was able to ski the course a few times for the first time in more than 15 years and was able to ski through -15 at 32 mph without much problem, but didn't push it as I was just trying to get my timing back. I am skiing on an ancient 20 year old 69" Kidder(when I last skied seriously I was 240 lbs). As a loyal Mellos customer growing up I had a series of Kidders. I also skied for a month or two on an EP Stilletto, but always found my way back to the Kidders.
I am 6' and fluctuate between 190 and 195. I have been looking at the Radar Senate and the D3 Skis, given the Kidder background. I am thinking 67" is right size. I would appreciate any ski selection advice you guys can provide.
Thank you very much.
