Bio:
I spend most of my hours tinkering in a lab at Caltech, but my spare time is spent in the High Sierra, the low desert, and on the beaches in Ventura county. My winters are spent in the BC interior.

Black Diamond Verdict Ski
May 9, 2009
Pablo, the relation of your body height to ski length is one that differs from skier to skier. Where I ski, more advanced riders typically like longer skis for stability at speed - however, some terrain demands shorter skis to make turning easier (eg. steep couloirs). If you like the feel of a long stable ski, you could go even longer than 170 Verdicts, it's up to you. I think any "everyday" skier should be able to ski the 170s no problem.

Karhu Team 100 Telemark Ski
May 7, 2009
These are definitely lighter on the feet than I expected, but I think something like the Kilowatt holds a slightly stronger line in the crud. For a resort ski though, these really do it all very well. Lively, surfy (for a mid fat), and confidence inspiring are words that come to mind (skiing 186s with Dukes as an everyday ski). And of course, carves just fine on the cord getting back to the lift.
