Hi, I'm planning to buy my first set of skis and I saw these 188cm Elan X-Carve SR Carving All Mountain skis for cheap.  Will like to know if they will work for me.  I am 5 10" and 180lbs and haven't ski for 8 years now since I took up snowboarding and will like to go back skiing once a while.   I can also do blue runs.  Will these skis be good enough?

Thanks!

hey ckang008,

im european so i dont know how tall 5 10" is...so i cant tell you if these skis will fit you....sry...

Around 178cm actually. I saw this website http://www.evogear.com/info/helpcenter/196.aspx and it says it's too long for me.  is that true?

thanks

what i forgot to say...then shorter a ski is then easier is it to turn and ride it fakie....when you jst want to ride groomed runs you should take a ski which is your size or about 10-20 cm smaller then you...going out-of-bounds you should take a ski which is as long as you or longer....
