Help with Volkl 5 Stars

Hi all, first post. I skeed about 10 times in the 2008 season. I tried several rental skiis. I loved the Volkl 5 Stars and resolved to buy some. The ones I am familiar with are red with white stars. Tried to post a link to a review of them but can't.

I'm about to live in northern NM with lots of skiing for a year and I'm hoping to find some 2006s or other year that is the same as the 2006s. No luck on 2006s on Ebay yet, and I wonder if anybody has advice on what other years would be the same as the 2006s?

Also, what length should I get? 6', 235 lbs. I ski all parts of our mountain at Ruidoso, NM. Not the biggest mountain around but I want skiis that will still be useful as I get better. I like carving long fast lines in steep powder runs, but want to be able to handle more difficult sections as well as moguls.

Thanks,
Jim
