I am 5'09 135lbs and an intermediate skier....what size ski's do i need? I like to ski in all conditions!
To properly size a ski to a skier, the ability is much more important now than a few years ago. A medium flex, intermediate level ski about 4" shorter than your height would be an easy to control and forgiving in most conditions. A high performance ski would be too responsive to every subtle move you make, and your skills will be hindered in development. A beginner ski will feel dead under your boots and not teach you any proper muscle memory.
The most critical piece of equipment is boots. A tight fit is vital, but the correct shape of the boot shell for your foot is necessary. Also check the lower leg alignment for tilting to a correct alignment. Take at least 3-4 hours to try on a pair of boots in a quality shop.
Enjoy yourself, good turns. This is a social sport as much as a snow sport. Jim
