I noticed that some pros (especially tanner , dumont and vinnie) are like 5 foot 3 and ski on 170s or 180s.why dont they just get skis that fit them.


SKIING IS LIFE...the rest is just details.

they are pros, therefore they ski harder than you, therefore they can handle more ski

I heard or read somewhere that Vinnie is like 5'3' or 5'4'. I'm not positive though.

Do you kids ride ski borads or what? There are so many people rocking little teeny assed boards I laugh sometimes. '......a ski that fits them.' Oh man, I think the circus is in town.

bigger ski = smoother spins + better balance + easier landings + better style, do the math

^that doesnt really have anything to do with their skis being longer than normal for their height.
