I am just getting into telemarking (actually plan to start next season) I consider myself an advanced intermediate skier. I am 59 years old so plan on skiing groomed and powder at a near by resort. I am a male 5-10 about 175 lbs. As mentioned prior I am looking a used 2008 version which 181 cm. Would this be a good beginning ski and size?

They were being sold for $125 but, I think I could get them for $100

The layers of metal may make this a bit stiffer than a perfect match, but they will make the ski feel solid on the groomers and at higher speeds. The length should be right for your ability and size. Their may be other skis out there that would be a more perfect match, but if you are getting a good price, these will be a great ski for what you seek. Hope that helps. Enjoy - It's still snowing here in SLC!
