I would say it's a good length. I haven't skied the AC30, but the 2005 AC3 is a lot of ski. Knowing your ability, it might be a tad too demanding (keeping it real). With my AC3, you can't be passive when skiing it; you need to be actively riding the ski or it's going to throw you. An AC20 might be a more appropriate next step? In fact the AC20 dimensions are closer to the old AC3 so it's probably still a lot of ski and something that you can grow into.

Life's too short for warm up runs.
