Not here to argue human performance. Poll is about body type. In a real fuzzy sense. Discussion linking that to ski sizes relative to manufacturers target body types. Target has a defined height and weight. The charts.Krummholz wrote: ↑Wed Mar 29, 2023 11:08 pmMore proof that skis don’t care how tall you are. They do care how you put them on edge. The brothers pioneered a new way to change edges before leaving a turn and entering the next turn. I read their book in the mid-eighties? on how to ski freak’n fast. And Greg LeMond (5’10”) when I put together a “dirtbag” road bike.

Wish companies catered to everyone, so that we could all achieve personal bests. Chances of that happening appear slim on skis outside the boundaries for which they were made. Also a mass produced, marketed product. Sometimes the charts show lengths that don’t measure up… camber differences between individual skis, l-r balance points that differ. Even through all that, the fit charts are the only thing skiers have to go buy. And they cater to a set range of height and weight for BC skis.
Just the way it is.
