Hello!
So I've been preparing to purchase my first set of skis some time this year and after reading what many other ladies are on I'm wondering if I should be riding longer skies than what the guys at the rental shops have been giving me. I'm 5'2" and I can ski blacks comfortably (so an advanced skier?), and I've been riding on rental skies around 150 for quite a while. Now that I've started demoing I've been getting skies around the same size: 152 Rossi Temptations, 149 Volkl Kenja, 152 Black Pearl, and I have a 153 K2 Superstitous to take up to the local hill with me this weekend.
Would it be better for me to get skies in the 155-160 range instead?
