Ok firstly, Ski Lengths.
I skiied in NZ earlier this year and was using a ski that was about 180cm long (I`m 6 foot tall, 75kgs). I then went to Perisher (Australia) a little later in the season and used a ski that was 170cm long. In my opinion this ski was way better. I loved how it was shorter, it made it so much easier to ski. Now the stuff I was skiing in both occasions was pretty much hard pack. Would there be a problem getting a 170cm ski when skiing Whistler?
I am an Intermediate skier that knows nothing about skis
Which of the following would you ski gurus suggest for Whistler (going in early Feb) for an Intermediate doing mostly Green and Blue runs?:
Salomon X-Scream Series Salomon Scream Pilot Salomon Scream Pilot 8 Salomon Crossmax 8 W Rossignol Bandit XX Atomic 9.18 L Atomic 9.22 Head Supercross Ti
Also, would there be a problem with my girlfriend, who is mostly a competant beginner level skier, hiring this type of gear. I`ve been told it is fairly high range stuff (I really wouldn`t have a clue!).
Thanks a lot for your help!
