Hope for Aspiring Pro's Who are Tall

Most professional skiers and especially park skiers seem to be an around the average male height or only a little above or below the average height. This leads us to believe they are better suited for the sport and maybe they are, but this doesn't mean that tall skiers can't make it big.

This is especially good news to me considering I'm 6'4'' and often find I'm overly tall for skiing. My hopes are back up.

skiing and snowboarding maybe one of the only sports where short people are good at it.  Usually taller athlets are the leaders.

(good thing for me as im a pretty small gal).

This makes no sense to me. Wouldn't the reason that most of the pro skiers are average height be because most people in general are average height? Just law of statistics?
