I haven't owned a set of race skis since High School, so I haven't a clue about sizing these days. Back then I raced for a couple of years and my slalom boards were 200cm and my GS 207. If I see a good deal, I'd like to pick up a set of hardpack rippers for next year. So, I'll be on the look out for the remainder of the season and into summer.
One ski I'm considering is the Fischer RC4 Worldcup SC. This ski seems to split the difference between a slalom and giant slalom board, which is what I'm after.
At 5'9" and 195lbs, what size might you recommend? They are available in 150, 155, 160, 165 & 170
Also, any other similar versatile race skis you might recommend by other manufacturers?
Since leaving Vermont and not having a flexible enough schedule to head back to Northern VT very much and even more so lacking the flexibility to hit powder days on a whim, I find myself spending a lot of time on hardpack unless I find good bumps. So, looking for a super fast carving machine to add to the quiver.
