Ski size calculator

Height is the starting value. Two factors act on it: ability and age group. If your first ski days are still ahead of you, you ski shorter — short skis turn more easily and forgive more. If you ski fast on hard snow, you ski longer, because a longer ski runs calmer at speed.

The result is deliberately a ten-centimetre range and not a single number. Depending on the model, two or three lengths fall inside that range, and which one is right depends on the ski itself.

Skis are built in five-centimetre steps. Two models with the same stated length ski differently because sidecut, radius and construction differ. A race carver at 165 cm asks more of you than an easy-going all-rounder of the same length.

That is why the calculator gives a range and the matching category. In the shop we check both against the actual model — it takes two minutes and it is the step that finally counts.

Weight, style and snow conditions are not part of it. A light skier on soft snow gets by with less length, a heavy one on spring corn with more. Those are five-centimetre corrections, not a different recommendation.

The binding is set on site in any case — to DIN/ISO 11088, using weight, sole length and skier type. We record those values when you collect the equipment.
