Thanks Robert for all the advice, think I'll print this thread off and use it to revise......if anyone's in a rental shop on 2nd March in Borovets and there's a slightly balding bloke with glasses holding up the queue for the gear......that will be me checking my stuff

I'm a beginner. When I went to Boro last year they told me I needed 155 length skis so I used them. Back on my local dry slope I started using 170's and found it much easier to control myself. Off to boro again in March so I'll go for the 170's and see how I get on. One tip I would pass on to beginners is to make sure you are completely happy with your boots and ski's on the first day. If they don't feel right then keep changing them until they do. I will be checking my gear thoroughly this ...

An old fashioned way of ensuring your skis are the right length - with your ski boots on, the tips of your skis when stood upright should be level with the tip of your nose.
