: What about in the LOTR when Boromir and Aragorn were pushing through the snow.. why didn't Legolas help push through the snow??: I know that he could walk across the top of it.. but surely he could of helped if he was the same size as Aragorn? : i am going from memory.. i don't have my copy of LOTR due to a friend borrowing it... so if he did help please don't look at me with too much discust...LOL : Beren Valthôl Well, I think that the different types of elves would be of differing heights. I would imagine the Noldor being at least 6 feet tall and well up to 7 feet 6 inches. The Wood Elves would probably be shorter. Not by much though. To answer your question,
I think that the passage they were clearing of the snow was probably just wide enough for two men. After all Argaron was pretty tall. I think that Boromir wasn't that tall. At the most 6'0. I remember reading somewhere that he was short for the men of Minas Tirith. Also doesn't it say he was much shorter than Argaron but more stocky? I would imagine elves being pretty powerful. After all Gil-Galad threw down Sauron and Fingolfin fought with Morgoth. Of course they were both Noldo. But then again Beleg Cuthalion(sp?) was a Sinda and he was pretty strong. All IMHO.
