slalom questions

[Bobby]

How big of a difference in performance is there between a 68" ski and a 70"? I've skiied a 70" for a long time but the ski I was given as a gift is 68" and was wondering if I should exchange it for the 70". I'm about 6'4 and 215lbs and my skill level I would say is advanced (I've been able to slalom since I was 8, I'm 23 now) and I prefer open water skiing. What should I do?

Go to the skis website and check the skis weight and length and speed chart 2'' is a lot, I ski on a 67 my weight and speed says I should be in a 66. but I ski better on a 67.You will notice the differance!
