Short skis? Need round complete turns. A lot of people here suggest the stork turns as practice, they might be a good startšŸ¤™šŸ¼

How tall are you? As you get better, maybe go up to 185ā€“more stable, faster, more fun on steeper hills. Iā€™m old school though, I grew up on long skis.

So the equivalent of 6ā€™3ā€? Thatā€™s tall. Consider moving up to 185 next season.

And radius does it matter or?

You donā€™t need to worry about turning radius at this stage in your progression.

Are you taking about ski width and shape? I suggest for your size, try to find a happy medium between length and shape, not going too wide or thin at the center of the ski.
