I decided to go back to skiing!

I'm buying 2008 Rossignol Scratch Brigade Pro's from my friend.

Their 150CM tall and the ski top goes to my eyebrow (Or a TAD higher)

I'm going to get the bindings matched up to my height and weight:

Height: 5 Feet 2
Weight: 100 Pounds

I'm a beginner/intermediate skiier (I'm going to be advanced in a couple of weeks)

I'm going to be hitting park, normal freestyle stuff, nothing too serious, not that much into extreme powder or anything.

Is the size right? I wan't a lot of control...

Please help, thanks!

They should be good. It might be awkward for a little bit but once you can turn and stuff the rest will come fast. You will probably want your DIN set relatively low because you are really light and you dont want to tear ACLs relearning ? how to ski. But props for taking it up. I'm sure a lot of people on this site can help with your progression

for your din setting, when they ask you what level skier you are, say 2 (or beginner/intermediate)

as much as you think that youll be an advanced skier in a few weeks, you wont. sorry to say it, but if youre just beginning again, you wont learn that quickly.
