Ok--I know we all watched the Olympic mogul skiers--I was surprised to to see the men were skiing on boards that looked like they were less than 170 cm's. I want to add something--I have a ski coach/teacher who is a member of Hall of Fame, 2x World Champion, legendary instructor (so he has some bona-fides) who insists that all resort skiers (even the great ones) are skiing on boards that are too long. By the way--without getting too lost in detail--I'm a very advanced skier--and clearly understand that longer skis equal more stability---but I'll tell you---the Olympic bump skiers looked like they were going pretty fast. I also understand that longer skis give you more of a platform--but, in addition, these men and woman are landing very big air. Maybe mere mortals like us actually benefit too.
Personally -I do like bigger longer skis in dimensional snow---but I'll tell you--I am beginning to think many of us (even good skiers) could benefit by taking 8 to 10 cm's off in-bounds. Seems like the best skirts in the world are. Thoughts--Best--David
