By Ranked #577 - Telemark Skis and Alpine Touring Skis November 7, 2009

Write your question here... What size of Rapid transits should I go with being a strong agresive tele at 5'8" 165lbs. The salesman says to go with the 171 but I have never skied on that short of a board and am concerned it may not be enough ski.

I would at least go with the 178 (this will be the most versatile length, good for glades, and bowls, and hiking, and just about whatever you want). that will be a good all round length don't go with the 171 as i assure you if you are a strong skier you will be disappointed. if you want a big mountain ski go with something longer and wider.
