Yeah, i'm pretty sure you should sell them to me for 200 shipped. But seriously, i think those skis might ski YOU instead of the right way around. But who knows, maybe you're just a sav. 2007 VCTs?

don't worry about if your any good at skiing at all you'll be fine, you don't want to be one of those people riding around on skis that are way too short

you dont want short skis, especially skiing powder, but 100lbs in girls weight (no offense at all or anything, its just how it is). such little weight makes command of a ski like that iffy. weight/strength is more important than height

Depends on how you ski, if you can ski and have solid technique, you'll be fine, they'll be pretty stiff for you cause you don't weigh much, but I can't see any reason you shouldn't be able to tear it up on those skis.

Nah. He doesn't know. They're soft. I'm not gonna lie, that's a big ski for you, but you'll get used to it, and i'm sure you'll grow soon and they'll be perfect. Keep them.

i dont know? theyre not soft. they arent super stiff either, but for somebody that weighs only 100lbs, thats a lot of ski that will be hard to manage, especially in anything that isnt powder. Perhaps in a few years they will be more suitable, but for now, thats a lot.

perfect! people on big skis is not a fad, most of us like it for the stability. im tired of people saying its a fad when they suck to much and dont go big enough to be on a big ski.
