Interesting formula!  Very cool. Did you compile that? I woudl basically agree but I factor in the stiffness of the ski and what kind of terrain. However, it does seem that most of my ski's do fall into your categories.  I weigh just under 170 now, 6' (OK, maybe 5' 11.995" for frontside groomers where I want more carving ability, I go 170, for my frontside soft snow, I can go 175-178, my Goats are 183's however, they are directional twins (I think, maybe full TT's)

I also think length is ability based, a intermediate is going to ski a shorter ski much easier and with less effort. making the learning process a little easier.
