Hi,

A friend of mine won The Atomic Acces ( http://www.atomicsnow.com/en/ProductFinder.aspx/#/alpine/alpine_ski/4/freeski/aa0003240/access ) a backcountry ski by Atomic.
He doesn't really need the ski and he'd like to sell it to me.
It's length is 181m and I'm 191m tall, is this ok? Or is it a little to short?

Thanks for the advice!

Hmm, he's asking 300 - 350€ , Atomic FFG 14+ bindings included. Still a lot of money..

Might be alot of money but I would say 300 with bindings is a bargain!

too short. all skis except park skis and race skis should be at least level with the top of your head if not taller. that's how i like my skis.

you're a tall dude so 181's are too short

Hmm still considering buying them tho.. Got his price down to 250€ which is really nothing for new ski's + bindings. Is it really such a difference and should I better save my money for later?
