 Poster: A snowHead
|
sorry for yet another ski length question, I'm sure this has been asked many many times before.
I'm thinking of buying some Head iXRC 1100 skis. I ski mostly on piste and can do reds pretty easily, I can get down blacks but without much style….
Weight is 90kg and height 180cm.
The question is 170 or 177? My current skis are Salomon Scrambler 8 @ 175cm.
As I ski mainly on piste I thought I’d go for more of a piste ski.
Any thoughts greatly appreciated...

You should stop being such a girl and ski on some real skis. 6'2" and 170cm skis?
mcboz might be larger framed but at least he's not a gay...

parlor, Thanks for the defence of the fatness. To be fair I think Mollerski was saying 170 as the ones a should get, not what he uses. Very jealous of your 1.5m of fresh snow.
Mollerski, Gym or run every night till get on the slopes for me (New Year and end of Jan), so could possibly weigh 80kg by the time I go, hmmmm?!!

FAQ
Be careful if the wind picks up when you get out of that tub. Have you tried Complan? 
Actually a nice big stable ski like that might be just the kind of work out you are looking for. 
Personally, I'd ditch the road running for additional CV work in the gym. 20mins on the bike, adding load as and when you feel able, will build stamina and improve you're lactic acid tolerance, Aswell as, act as a good warm-up prior to getting on the resistance machines or weights.
