Not when you consider the fact that it was a slow evolution over the course of years to get like that <| sep |> Weed and Snoop Dogg . Have the chillest mom on the block . <| sep |> As a rental tech , I would push you towards any of the Rossignol experience series skis . I would stick to wider ones , but they are are really great skis that are perfect for an intermediate skier like yourself . EDIT To add more detail now that I ' m not on mobile . I HIGHLY recommend the Experience 84 or 88 , depending on how fast you like to make your turns thinner skis will turn faster . What ' s great about these skis is that all the weight has been pulled into the center so it makes turning the skis pretty easy , and the sidecut on the skis is pretty aggressive so they really like to carve . If you like speed , get the wider ones as they will be more stable at speed less eager to turn . Great skis for cruising groomers and if you ever decide to wander into some steeper , more technical stuff they will be pretty good there too . As for length , shoot for about eyelevel , whichever that is . A longer ski will be faster and more stable at speed , but requires more strength and aggression to ski properly .
