GS skis are happiest at Mach 6, making huge carved turns. Are you ready for that yet? If not, put them away for a while and rent, or otherwise acquire something of an "intermediate" ski. You'll like it a lot better. The length, however, it probably OK.

GS skis are happiest at Mach 6, making huge carved turns. Are you ready for that yet? GS11 ski @ 160 ? Sounds like a junior race ski. Way to stiff for a beginner/intermediate and too short as a speed carver for an adult expert. If not, put them away for a while and rent, or otherwise acquire something of an "intermediate" ski. You'll like it a lot better. The length, however, it probably OK. Fully agree on these two points.
