Hello!
I am about to but the new 15/16 Volkl Kenjas and am trying to decide whether to get the 163s or 170s. I am an upper intermediate/advanced skier, I'm 5'8" and about 175lbs. I am a ski instructor in West Virginia, so I do most of my skiing there.
My old skis are older/ not as shaped and they are 173s. I like the speed I get from the length, but I'm considering getting the 163s because I feel like the shorter length will make me more comfortable on different terrain and advance my skiing. Also, being a ski instructor, a shorter ski would be easier to teach on. However. I'm concerned that I will get bored with the shorter length. Thoughts?
Also, any ideas on what bindings to get? I'm thinking Marker Griffons, but I'd like to hear what others think.
Thank you for any and all advice!
