  1. Select your weight level.The ski length at the bottom of your weight column is your suggested starting length.
  2. 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.
  3. Add a further 5cm if you are spending 60% or more of your time off Piste.
  4. By adding the above together you will have found your recommended ski length.
  5. 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.
