Cross country ski's
Hi all,
Maybe this isn't quite the group for it, because people normally discuss downhill skiing, but maybe this post still fits. I want to buy my first pair of cross country/langlauf ski's. I am interested in these newer nordic ski's where you can ski in the loipe or out of it. Particularly, I am looking at these ski's: http://www.fischer-ski.com/de/produc...id_product=228 or http://www.fischer-ski.com/de/produc...id_product=226 I am 184cm and weigh 77kgs. Are these type of ski's suitable? What length should I get? Also, what length poles are suitable? The reason I am asking here is that I have been to two shops. One said that these ski's are not stiff enough and I needed these Salomon ones (forget the model) in 194cm! I went to the other store and he said that the ski's above are fine, but I only needed size 174cm. Frankly, I think I might need a size in between this. Likewise, the first guy said I need poles up to the top of my shoulder, and the second guy said up to my armpit. So I'm a bit confused. Any help would be great! Thanks |
