Yes another length question -- just with another twist.
For relatively new skiers, or those modernizing their technique - would short (or very short) skis be of benefit? In Peter's ski reviews - the Elan NRT -123 CM (02/03) was listed as an excellent learning tool.
Lets say I ski a 160 in a cross ski / 70MM range. Would a ski in 140-150 length range help to improve my skiing ? Yes I know it depends on terrain, ability, size, etc -- just looking for general comments from some of you more experienced (better) skiers out there.
I am amazed at some of the lengths I see mentioned in the various forums. Guys 170+ lbs skiing 160s for carving / slalom. Lengths just seem to be going smaller and smaller.
Harald or Peter -- any comments? Anybody ever ski these ultra short training type skis?
Thx. Rookie
