Ski Size Chart
How do you pick the correct ski size?
There is no perfect size for one height and weight. The general rule of thumb is to pick a ski that is going to land somewhere between your chin and the top of your head. Pro and expert skiers may choose skis that are slightly taller than their height for extra stability at speeds. Within your size range there are multiple reasons to choose a shorter or longer ski.
Reasons to size your skis shorter, closer to your chin:
- You are a beginner or intermediate skier
- Your weight is lighter than average for how tall you are
- You like to make short, quick turns on the groomed runs
Reasons to size your skis longer, closer to the top of your head:
- You like to ski fast and aggressively
- You weigh more than average for how tall you are
- You plan to do the majority of your skiing off the groomers
- You are purchasing a ski with significant rocker in the tip
A shorter ski will be easier to turn yet not as stable as a longer ski will be at speed. A carving ski with narrow waist and a smaller turn radius can be skied at a shorter length than an all mountain or a freeride ski with larger, longer turn radius and wider waist width.
