Log in to snowHeads to make it MUCH better! Registration's totally free, of course, and makes snowHeads easier to use and to understand, gives better searching, filtering etc. as well as access to 'members only' forums, discounts and deals that U don't even know exist as a 'guest' user. (btw. 50,000+ snowHeads already know all this, making snowHeads the biggest, most active community of snow-heads in the UK, so you'll be in good company)..... When you register, you get our free weekly(-ish) snow report by email. It's rather good and not made up by tourist offices (or people that love the tourist office and want to marry it either)... We don't share your email address with anyone and we never send out any of those cheesy 'message from our partners' emails either. Anyway, snowHeads really is MUCH better when you're logged in - not least because you get to post your own messages complaining about things that annoy you like perhaps this banner which, incidentally, disappears when you log in :-)

Scott Crusades - A bit of reassurance

 Poster: A snowHead
Poster: A snowHead
Hi all,

I just bought a pair of Scott Crusades today Smile but now have a bit of a panic on that they will be too long for me.

I am 13 stone and 6ft 2 inches and ski hard (most of the time) so went for the 189s, its just they seem so long.

Have i made the right choice or should i get them swapped for 179s?

Really can't wait to get them out to Japan in Feb Very Happy

Thanks

capt_tri, welcome to snowHeads!

I'm sure you'll get plenty of views in no time at all. FWIW, I'm 5'8 and when I was considering Crusades I was probably going to go for the 179s...I'd have thought the 189s would be ok. You'll just have to charge everything Twisted Evil

capt_tri, I think that the shorter ski would hold you back when picking up speed. The 189's sound fine to me being 93mm underfoot and suiting an aggressive skier. In the powder you may well be glad of that extra float and stability.

I'm 5'10", 11.5 stone and ski a 177 twin tip at 98mm underfoot and am not exactly what you would call an aggressive or hard skier.

capt_tri, I'd say they were just about long enough for your stats - remember that twin's ski shorter. For Japan I'm surprised that you didn't go wider underfoot & with less sidecut. Are you on Warren Smith's Japan trip in Feb?

If you're going to Japan you'll be skiing powder, so you'll be glad of the extra float the longer ski gives you.

I am 5 feet four female and ski with last years 169cm.....They are awesome! I am an instructor and have ended up using them for everything. At speed they hold on incredibly well and are balanced. Certainly think you will have no problem with that length. They certainly ski a little shorter than the length suggests. My colleague is 5 9 and skis 189cm (female too). The ski will give you a huge smile...Promise!

Alot of ski school here have been testing them in 2010 model and giving great feedback
