Hello,

first of all I am a returning ex-skier, have not seen snow since 1997 and really hung up the gear in about 1994-5. I have not even looked at gear until this year.

Confused by the carve ski's and the lengths. Not sure what to get as I think I will arrange to get some ski's again and start to ski with my kids as of this year.

I am 195cm tall and 100kg. Was a very agressive skier before, weighed a bit and always had very good equipment.

I live in Australia full time, so not very nice snow really, very wet.

I did grow up in Sovenija and raced as a junior around the area and went to the USA in the late 1980's and early 1990's to go with the Winter Sports Club in Steamboat CO as there was not much money where I was really.

So I was ok on the snow and used to very long flat stiff skis.

Any help would be great, so far I have in my head to get some decent GS race ski's, not pro race but am or club race gear as I still have heavy weight to put on them.

Should I just go with the longest I can find, pref from the Elan range?

thanks in advance.
