Item #K2S0540 | 0 in Stock

Hey, so I'm looking at these skis as a present for my girlfriend....

By Ranked #1703 - Alpine Skiing July 27, 2010

Hey, so I'm looking at these skis as a present for my girlfriend. She just started skiing last winter but is doing really well, learning quickly and even did some moguls with me last year. Neither she nor I have ever owned skis so I don't know if these would be right for her, she's 5'5, 170 pounds. Can anyone out there tell me if these would be good for her, or give me a suggestion for a different (similar price range) ski? Also, would a 173ish length be okay?

Thanks.

The longer the length of your skis the more difficult they are to turn on which is why longer lengths, like 173 cm, are generally for more advanced skiiers. If she just started last winter I think she may be more comfortable with a shorter ski, maybe in the 160 cm range.
