Hi ladies,
I'm currently struggling to figure out what size skis to get. The skis I want are intended for beginners like myself. The only issue is they're 155 cm. I'm 5'5" and my weight varies from 130-135lb. I went skiing last year but can't remember what size the rentals were and I honestly don't know if 155cm would be too long. I've read online that's it's easier to use skis that measure up to your chin-eyes when you're a beginner to help with turns. Any advice, suggestions for a beginner? And should I just wait until I find a smaller length pair of skis? Is it better to get wood or composite skis? Rocker type suggestions?
Thanks !
(Small FYI: I'm going on a ski trip to Colorado in March and it would be more convenient to just buy a pair of skis than to rent them. And I plan on using the same skis for the next 5+ years)
