Kathy, I'm 5'9" The Quick Super was marketed as a downhill racing ski. The way I was measured for the skis was to stand with my arm raised high. Measurement was taken from the ground to my wrist.
In those days we parallel skied, a very elegant style. Snow plowing was difficult with long skis. We stopped by keeping the skis parallel and pivoting 90ยบ and edging to stop.
Skiing style changed over the following years and skis got shorter with more pronounced hourglass silhouettes.
My Kastinger boots are first generation leather buckle boots. The bindings are cubco bindings which involved mounting steel plates on the boots' heels and toes. Cubco bindings were noted for adjustable and dependable release..."For skiers who have to go to work Monday."
