Too heavy?

One of our party weighs 200lbs and is only about 5'7" We've all been training to get fitter for skiing but is there a max weight or anything... Will probably sound a stupid question but new to this i know ski's and bindings are weight/height accordant but is there a danger of being too fat to ski?

re: Too heavy?

Only if you ski down very narrow paths. Ouch!

re: Too heavy?

Just roll them down the mountain..

I'm 6'4 and 200lbs i have no trouble..

Mind it is all muscle

re: Too heavy?

It's probably better being too heavy than a stick thin supermodel up the slopes. i hear they're commonly seen wedged in the cobble stone paved streets this time of year.

re: Too heavy?

I am 220 and never stopped me. Even have a go on the half pipes.

re: Too heavy?

I weigh in at 16 & half stone, 6' never had any problems 160's ,din 5 . means you go faster....yeeeeeehaaaaa!

Tiger does not have a waist line, he has a coast line!
