but what im saying is the same model of ski with the same design (early rise rocker etc) would still be easier to ski

No offence but your story isn't really necessary and you contradict yourself during it and your answer!

The simple straight forward and obvious answer is yes, longer skis are harder to ski.


You clarify this by saying that he needed tips and help to be able to use them compared to his normal shorter skis.

I fully agree that longer skis are faster but not necessarily more fun. However i don't agree that longer makes you better? Gs skis are typically 191 and downhill 215ish but gs is still considered the most technical discipline

Google mountain tours livigno-jacquie runs a lot of accommodation in livigno, she is very pleasant too

Now that's what I'm talking about!

I love la tania-not the best placed to explore val Thorens but stunningly beautiful-plenty of trees

tsk tsk, such a sceptic!

Im away up tomorrow for what is due to be a clear, cold and sunny day with no wind but good coverage onpiste-beats xscape anyway!

I don't think its being marketed as a powder ski though is it? If i still lived in a resort like you guys i would prob still have my 186gs, 165slalom and 191powder skis as i don't think any ski out there truly does it all as good as anything for that specific purpose!

For a regular person who doesn't live in a ski resort and therefore wants to buy or hire one ski that will cope with most conditions, bearing in mind the chances of having chest deep powder are bloody slim on a one week holiday they sound pretty good
