It depends, if you are a real beginner the skis should be about the height chin to lips but if you are a very very very good racer it can be a few cenimeters taller than you. For the average person skis should be between your nose and eyes.

Do world cup skiers use the same skis as you buy?
Not unless you are a ski racer yourself, and were lucky enough to get top of the line equipment. World Cup skiers get the best race skis that their factory makes. They have many different pairs of the same type (downhill skis, for example) that they will test to see which are the fastest. Race skis are highly specialized and differ greatly from demo skis or skis that the public usually buys. You can see this reflected in the price. Race skis typically run $800-$1000 for the skis, not including bindings.

What are carving skis?
Before 1990, skis typically had straight parallel edges, i.e. the same width everywhere. Then came along the snowboard, which was able to "carve" easily due to the curved siderails, which made the board narrowest in the middle. This shape made the snowboard easy to turn by tilting it on its edge, and riding this way became known as "carving". To allow skiers to carve with the same ease as snowboarders, the skis were modified to have a shape similar to snowboards: Wide at the ends, and with a narrow width in the middle of these skis. At their introduction, such skis were sold as "carving skis", to differentiate them from the traditional, straight-edge skis. The "carving skis" were indeed easier to turn and learn. They became a big success and generally replaced the older ski design. As a result, today pretty much all skis are "carving skis", and the distinction is not really necessary anymore. SJO
