Unless you are 6'9" and 275lbs, those skis are huge. I'm 5'10", 180 and I ski on 168cm.

You will hate those skis. Guarantee it. Too long, too heavy, probably too stiff.

Those skis are way long! If you are looking for standard carving or all mountain skis with a decent amount of contour (fat tip, narrow waist) the rule of thumb is the ski should fit between your nose and eyebrows, so grab a tape measure and that will give you a sense of how long to go. There are some good videos on the net on fitting skis and REI and Sportchek both have sections with info on sizing. Mounting bindings should not cost more than $50 if you buy them from the same place that is mounting them. If the skis you get have a rail system for clip on bindings it will take about 5 minutes for a tech to put them on and set them for your boots and your abilities. Have fun out there!

any responses ?

I think the reason you're not getting any responses is because no one can figure out why anyone would want to paint skis.
