- Select your weight level.The ski length at the bottom of your weight column is your suggested starting length.
- Now select your abilty level, the amount in cms at the bottom of your ability level is added to or subtracted from your starting length.
- Add a further 5cm if you are spending 60% or more of your time off Piste.
- By adding the above together you will have found your recommended ski length.
- By adding your Ski length to your ability you will have found your recommended ski length. For example a person weighing 75kg, who is a level 7 skier will ski on length of 170 + 5cms = 175cms.
This ski length chart is a guide as not all skis end in 5 or 0 cms and therefore suggest you ski closest to the recommended length.
