Bit of a bean stalk at 6'0 ft tall but only 140lbs...
I ski as hard as possible and push to go harder. Love the pow but am truthfully a little short on talent (am seriously working on that!)
175 or 185? Or will these skis just make a fool of me?
Any advice much appreciated. Cheers Jules

I'm a 40 year old expert level skier 6' 1" 180lbs and I own the 185cm JJ. They do ski very short and are fairly light. On deeper powder days I would say that I wish mine were about a 190cm. But for all the other days the 185cm is perfect. My wife is 5'6" 130lbs and a very strong skier and I think she could handle the 175cm VJJ just fine. How old are you and will you be growing or gaining weight in time?
