I am 5'10" and weigh 175. I am new to skating this yr but feel comfortable on skis and have gone very frequently. Is this a good ski for a solid intermediate skier? What size would you recommend? What bindings are compatible with these skis?

Mark, for the price this is a very solid ski. Light, fast base, good construction. To upgrade from this in the Fischer line you'd have to pay considerably more (+$200). These are narrow, but I have found them to be quite stable. At your weight and ability you should be on 192cm. Do not worry about binding compatibility - first worry about getting the most comfortable boot! Once you have the boot get the binding that fits it. The previous answer mentions a plate. This is wrong; there is no plate. Some skis come pre-mounted with the NIS plate to slide bindings on. This is irrelevant with these skis as they do not have the NIS plate.

most any racing/exercise binding would work, some bindings need a plate though, which any nordic ski shop could help you with. as for sizing a chart recommends 192cm skate skis, but i just found a fischer sizing chart, so look into it more if you want
