How to Decide What Size Skis is Right For You

Venturing into the mountains with the right pair of skis can transform your experience from ordinary to extraordinary. Finding the ideal skis may seem daunting, but our guide is designed to simplify the process. We delve into all aspects that influence your choice – waist width, rocker profile, and more, catering to every terrain and dream.

Your personal attributes such as height and ability level are pivotal in determining ski length. Generally, this should be between your chin and the top of your head; however, those with more experience might prefer longer skis. For instance, if you’re 6 feet tall (183 cm), consider skis ranging from 170 cm to 190 cm.

Consult our chart for a baseline recommendation based on your stature and skill level. Keep in mind that ski width, rocker profile, turn radius, and preferred terrain also play significant roles.

Deciding whether to size up or down? Shorter skis offer agility and ease of turning – ideal for beginners or those who favor groomed slopes and lighter weight. On the flip side, longer skis provide stability at high speeds suitable for advanced skiers who relish ungroomed terrain and possess a heavier build.
