I think length is mostly a preference thing but most people over estimate the advantages of really short skis and often use them to cover up their shoddy technique ;)


:shock: Pabs...so cutting :lol:


Thats not cutting, thats the arrogance of youth :wink:


Beats the ignorance of age.

I think you would suit the 140s Wickers.

They will if you're a 5 year old girl, mostly grown ups manage to get on and off the chair unaided :D

Just thought I'd mention it, in case you fancy a blast......


I'll give you shipping for them? :wink:
I was about to say, fixed grip I just figured was being phased out. Maybe something to do with maintenance costs or reliability? Who knows. Lake Louise did the same thing either last year or the year before.
