Suspect is a horribly soft, 100% park orientated ski which is fun in the park but useless anywhere else.

Infact all the skis mentioned by jogs are park skis. Not that this is a bad thing, just to warn you. Although i presume the el ray is decent in the park it is excellent on piste too and will be wide enough to venture into light off piste.

If you do want to ski anywhere else than the park do not centre mount your skis-having the extra tail takes some getting used too

Sounds amazing and I'd be keen to participate if it was in the school hols...........

(v unlikely I know!)

Shorter does not mean flappier necessarily-depends on the ski and I never found the el ray to be flappy and I'm 110kgs so put a lot through it!!

But you are right that usually shorter is easier to ski, however if a twin comes to your nose I wouldn't see that being a problem?

Entirely up to ou though, longer would make them harder to turn but way better in powder

A go pro? 300 odd bucks

A lindsey vonn lookalike? Hmm....., i wish i knew

Not being able to go away this year and Scotland being so poor so far has told me that Im a grumpy git when i can't get on the snow-this is coming from my better half who has spent hours herself trying to get me a flight to Italy on the cheap!

Dunno because i have never skied with you and don't know your ability. For someone just under 6foot prob a 178 but Im not sure-you said you prefer shorter so go for it

mind you the marker bindings are better fwiw imo

Done that SOO many times!!

Huge fan of the Armada el rays I skied it on a test day and kept it overnight to use on the groomers first thing the next morning!!
