Sports for tall guys are not easy, with the exception of basketball where height is the norm; most sports are not designed for tall people. The average ski lift is 17-21 inches off the ground, that is okay for the average person but for a tall guy it means doing a deep knee bend to sit down and then a squat to get off onto a slippery area, gain your balance and slide away with some amount of grace. (Skiing is about being cool, hip, suave, John Claude, Bode NOT awkward).
The movements required for pretty skiing are much easier if you are shorter, it takes so much more time for all this mass to move form point A to point B when your center of gravity is a foot higher than the person who's picture you are trying to imitate.
