With 18 years of ski retail in four different shops I never saw a Jr. over 175 even in the high performance Jr's.

I thought I recall a 180..but that might be now in some of the junior GS skis. Only first cup of coffee this AM

I have been out of the business for some time but everything has gotten shorter in that time. Who ever thought a SL ski would be 160 or less?

Gang...your correct as a pure race ski of the 80's but...un-drilled piece of history? Find me an un-drilled K2 255 in a 195 for 100 dollars I'd I'd offer considerably more. Also yes "team" or Jr. skis tended to stop at 175 because doofses (sp???)would have thought of them as "short skis" during that craze of the 70's. Who here would admit to having skied on a Kniessl Short Comp? ...one...me...that would have been a "dead sled"...
