just so i dont feel as alone, im wondering, are any of you guys taller/heavier than most people? im 6ft 205 lbs and im always the biggest guy whenever i ski with anyone
 
I am 6'3'' and I am usually about 205, but on ski trips I eat a ton and usually go up to about 2010-2015. My size doesn't hold me back, I still shred. I am not throwing dubs, but I can hold my own in the park and slack country.
 
It's funny you say this because a lot of the time in summit, I feel small in the lift lines. I'm 5'9" 140 lbs and I constantly see dudes that are at least 6' and probably younger than me.
 
I'm 6ft 220 but you'd never know unless I was to bring it up. I've got a buddy who's shorter and probably has me by 20 lbs and he still rips. You're not alone lol
 
Don't know the point of this thread.

I'm 6'3" 225 pounds [down from 292.5 in June 2013]. I ski with a guy who pushes 7'.

I don't really care that I'm tall other than buying outerwear can suck.

I'm still trying to figure out a jacket for this season. =s

Tim Durtschi, Noah Curry, Sage, Mark Abma, Martini, John Spriggs, all big dudes that kill it

I'm 5'11, and I was towering over Sage when I met him. He is probably around 5'8. Not sure why he looked tall to you. Mark Abma isn't a big guy either.
 
I like to think of my extra size and weight as a 'turbo boost'.

Way easier to go fast as fuck than these skinny ass little midgets. ;)

My turbo boost doesn't help when I fall however. Ha

True dat. worked park crew for a number of years and I alway tested the xl kickers cuz i was sure to never under shoot. 6'4 200lbs.

Does any of the other big guys out there go through skis like I do? I break edges after a couple days and don't expect a pair to last more than half a season.

Abma isn't tall but he is thick as a brick shithouse
 
Not tall at 5'8" but on the heavier side compared to other skiers at 185lbs, I think the extra weight seems to protect me though, never seem to get hurt

as a big skier i really hope my skis last longer than that.. my line blends already look beat up after half a season though.
