IMPORTANT: New ski bindings not mounted by us for whatever reason should only be mounted by a ski tech professional either local to you or in resort.

Choosing the right Ski length

Below is a simple chart to assist you in selecting your correct ski length. This is only meant as a rough guide and certain skis may be skied longer or shorter dependent on their construction or intended use.

Step 1 Select your weight level.The ski length at the bottom of your weight column is your suggested starting length.

Your Weight (stones) 5-6 6-7 7-7.5 7.5-8.5 8.5-9.5 10-10.75 11-11.25 12.5-13.5 13.5+
or Your Weight (kilos) 32-38 38-43 43-47 48-54 57-62 63-69 70-79 80-86 87+
Ski Starting Length (cm) 125 135 145 155 160 165 170 170 175

Step 2Select your abilty level, the amount in cm at the bottom of your ability level is added to or subtracted from your ski starting length.

Level 1/2 Level 3 Level 4 Level 5/6 Level 7/8 Level 9/10
Skiing for the first time Able to ski green/blue runs Able to ski Blue/Red runs Able to ski all pisted runs in good conditions Able to ski all runs on/off piste in good conditions Able to ski anywhere on the mountain
-15cm -10cm -5cm 0 cm +5cm +10cm

Step 3Add on a further 5cm if you are spending 60% or more of your time Off Piste.

Step 4Adding your ski length to your ability give your recommended ski length. Eg Someone weighing 75kg, who is a level 7 skier will ski on length of 170 + 5cm = 175cm or might choose 180cm in an off piste orientated model.

 

Note: As not all skis end in 5 or 0 cms we suggest you choose a ski closest to the recommended length.
