OK, so I got an email from campsaver about a ski sale. I can get Rossignol 90/189 for $240, which is about $100 off the regular price. I'm about 225#, so I need a larger ski like that. It's waxless, has metal edges, and is appears to be mainly for ungroomed skiing, which is what I'd be doing.
Per a chart I found on Rossignol's site I should use BC 90/189, 70/190, or 65/195. I can't see the latter two, or at least the 65/195 , working well for me, but whaddiknow?
Sound OK?
I can figure out bindings later, although I've been leaning away from the 3 pin/duckbill type.

Can you return them if it turns out the camber won't keep your weight off the snow in the middle section of the ski? That's testable in a room with smooth floor. We used to call it the "paper test".
