But sometimes the ski hire shops will be come unstuck, selecting ski length on height like that. I have a female friend who also skis, and she's about 2 inches shorter than me, and weighs about 3 stone more.

Another thing I would like to know, is this. Do men and women really need different skis, and if so, why?

Thanks again,

Ally

Of course Ise will answer the final part of your question in more detail but ideally EVERYONE needs different skis because no body is really the same.

I would suggest that whilst there are many factors there are too many to sell a ski on one factor, it is a complicated mix of facts and preferences. Of course what the top sheet looks like is very important.

Mailed you back at 8.05, just came in to check here before I got to my Gmails! The webcams are looking pretty damn good.

You need to be careful you don't end up with a park ski, generally soft and pretty useless anywhere but the park. Does it need to be a twin tip?

17 stone says longer and not the Armada ARV :lol:

You trying to say my skis know I'm fat... :evil:

They definitely don't know how tall you are!

I was just about pop in the garage and kick six bells out of the little buggers... :wink:

I suggest that is a good way to let out your stress then replace them with a new pair for chasing little W around!

There is no spare money for skis Pablo, do you know how much a Wife and kid costs... :?

No although in my flat hunting I have realised how expensive they are and that heating and internet actually costs money :shock: :shock: :shock:

:thumbup:
