Is the height of the skis the same as the rider?

Difference between men's and women's alpine skis?
Women's skis have the waist and binding farther forward compared to men's skis to compensate for women's lower centers of gravity and added weight in the rear. Because of lower weights and lower centers of gravity, women's skis also tend to be more flexible for proper turning. Women's skis are also more dramatically curvy than men's skis to make the ski turn better. On straight skis, man or woman, the rule is, "as tall as you or slightly shorter if you're a beginner, a foot taller if you're advanced or just really good." Longer skis can be dangerous, so you need to know what you're doing. On modern shaped or parabolic skis, beginner skis are around chin-height while advanced skiers may have skis up to their forehead or as tall as the skier. Shorter skis are good for beginners as they give more control and better turning. Longer skis get more speed.

What is parallel skiing?
Parallel skiing is an advanced technique in downhill skiing where the skis are held in two straight lines under the body. This technique is generally learned gradually as a modification of the beginner technique. The beginner's stance is called "the snow plow" or "the wedge", and the skis are held in a V shape with the tips of the skis almost but not quite touching. The wider apart the skis are at the back, the slower a person will go down the hill. In parallel skiing, speed is controlled by how much the skier goes across the hill versus down the hill - the trajectory of the skier relative to the slope controls speed.
