Does size matter? It does when you are talking about selecting the right set of skis. One of the most confusing decisions you have to make when selecting a pair skis can be deciding “how long should my skis be.” This is especially difficult for someone who goes skiing once a year on vacation or for someone thinking about trying the sport for the first time. With the help of our ski size calculator you can narrow down a length that will ensure you have a great time and stay withing your comfort level.

Historically skis were long straight pieces of wood that enabled people to get through snowy terrain. However, skis are primarily used for recreational purposes today. Not only has the material changed over time, but so has the length and design of skis. In the past, when a person selected a pair of skis they would hold their hand over there head. You would select a pair of skis that were as tall as your hand!

Today skis are much shorter due to material and design. A shorter ski will offer greater mobility, but will sacrifice some stability. Whereas a longer ski will give you greater stability, but will be less mobile for someone just starting out. For these reasons it is important that we knows all the information requested in the calculator. By having height and experience level we can help you make the best decision on what size skis you should use.

To use the ski size calculator simply input the required information into the form fields and select your experience level. If you are unsure of your experience level then just remember that shorter skis will allow you to turn easier, but will offer less stability when skiing through deep powder. This calculator will give you a good place to start when selecting the proper size skis. Have fun and be safe.
