Hi,

I have the option of getting some new k2 sweet luv skis for the GF for 200
UKpounds. She's had a few weeks skiing (ca 5) and isn't really getting much
faster (and doesn't have the desire to - can parralel ski on easy blues but
not really carving) and so I think these or similar would OK for a few
years.

My concern is that they may be a little too short for her. She is 5'5'' and
in addition quite heavy (170lbs). Size guides I have seen suggest a 155cm
ski but these are only 149cm (3cm below nose height barefoot). Do you guys
think the 6cm will make much difference?

Any other thoughts/recommendations? And no I can't get any information from
her as to what shes tried/liked - perhaps I should have made notes.

Cheers

Jim
