found some secondhand (2010) czars that are 166 for a steal, they have been drilled before so I guess I have a couple questions:
I'm 5'6" and 150, are these going to be too short or should I go for it? I'm looking for secondary ski for powder days in Tahoe, I'm just getting to an advanced intermediate level and would only be using these at the resort in the trees and on the trails on powder days.
I've heard some people say never re-drill and some say do it up to three times...is it worth it to take a chance and hope that whatever bindings and mounting position I choose won't interfere too much with the previous holes?
Thanks for any advice!

Hey Alojzya, They may be a bit short for you, because all the Czars ski shorter than their length. My girlfriend who's 5'8'' 120lbs is on the 182cm. May be a bit big for her, but she's killing it. As far as redrilling, can you redrill, yes. What is most important is that the new holes you drill maintain an adequate distance from existing holes. The preexisting holes need to be plugged proffesionally as does the mounting of new bindings. Thanks nick
