Been thinking about ski length as I’m hoping to get some new skis for next year. Didn’t get a chance to demo at all this year with the abbreviated season and def plan to do so, but specifically wondering if others have gone shorter w/age and the inevitably(grrrrr) shrink.
I used to be almost 5’2” but find myself edging closer to 5’0” as I push 60. Weight unfortunately doesn’t seem to decrease along w/height so still 120lbs. I’ve skied since I was 14, can ski all over, and consider myself advanced, but do find I’m slowing down some, or at least trying to when I find myself going way too fast and think, holy crap, I could get hurt bad if I bit it right now. So yes, slowing down some.
Have been on skis ranging from 156-166 and this feels like the right length, depending on the ski, but am I missing something, or just overthinking this?
