Hi,
I have very old pair of skis so I have to look for a new pair. What do you think will be better soft, stiff, long, short? As we gonna hit the snow at high speeds probably stiff will have better control - 160/170 cm sounds reasonable.
Suggestions welcome.
I think blue skies work

I think blue skies work best. When it's cloudy there's less contrast and it's harder to see the terrain. I also think the atmosphere is much nicer with a bit of sunshine.

Hi!
I am using a pair of C 100 Power Jacket Head alpine skies, 175 cm. I am 185 cm tall. They are a little bit too soft I think. In high speeds the jump around a lot, making the turns a bit more difficult than they need to be. At the same time they feel unstable when touching down on the snow. My advice is therefore to choose a pair of stiff skies designed for high speeds.
How ever; I am very happy with my Fritschi freeride plus randonné bindings. Combined with the scarpa spirit 4 randonné shoes, this is the perfect equipment for getting to high peaks outside ski lift areas. Get to the top, lock the bindings, fasten the retractable ski poles to the harness, and speedfly down! And in addition; you will get in pretty good shape doing this:)
Best regards

Hi,
Try fat freeride skis, its the best choice for off pist riding!
I love my fischer atua (186cm).

I was thinking in Big Trouble of Dynastar that has almost the same characteristics. Now the only doubt is how long? I`m 82kg and 1.80 mts and was thinking in something shorter +- 1.70 m.
Maybe you are heavier or taller or both..
