What is the right ski length?
Beginner
Up to 30km/h
Experienced
Novice on piste
Requirements
Safely underway
Chest to shoulder
The shorter the ski, the easier it is to turn. The optimal length will be between the chest area and shoulders.
Ski instructor tip:A ski that is too short should not be chosen as you will lose stability and reliability while turning as you have a shorter edge grip.
Intermediate
Up to 50km/h
Experienced
2 - 3 weeks on skis
Requirements
Comfortable and moderate
Shoulder to chin
Intermediate skiers should choose a ski length between their shoulders and chin.
Ski instructor tip:If you are deciding between a choice 2 different lengths, then choose the longer one. All of our skis have Rocker systems! This means that the ski at the tip of the shovel is curved upwards. So in effect the ski is will act like a shorter ski. A ski with a rocker tip of 10 % is 10% shorter in turning length. This makes turns a lot easier but the ski will use the whole edge through the turn which increases stability.

Enjoyment and comfort
Chin to nose
Experienced skiers can use a ski that comes up to their nose.
Ski instructor tip:Optimal ski length will also play a role in various snow conditions. If you are going on holiday between December and February then we recommend a longer ski as the pistes are more hard packed and sometimes icy. A longer ski will provide a longer edge grip and hence more stability. If you are skiing in March/April then we recommend a slightly shorter ski. When the snow is softer, you will need more energy to turn therefore a shorter ski is easier. You will also not be travelling as fast.
Sporty
Up to 90km/h
Experienced
Many weeks of skiing
Requirements
Sporty & Fast
Nose to Forehead
Sporty skiers have power, endurance, condition, coordination and skills to choose any ski they choose. It is important to pick a ski that has good stability. Pay particular attention to the radius of the ski. Short radius are slalom skis. Long radius are giant slalom skis.
Ski instructor tip:It all depends on your skiing technique and the model of the ski. If you ski with short turns then choose a slalom ski. This ski length is generally shorter. Short codes for these skis are ST, SL and SC. If you prefer a longer turn then choose a giant slalom ski. These are longer and should reach the top of your head. You can ski faster and a longer edge grip in turns and more stability. Short codes for these skis are GS, LT, RS and RC.

Requirements

From crown of the head and above
The race skier knows exactly what they want! Slalom skiers choose a short ski which is durable and agile but one that also explodes out of the turns. In comparison a giant slalom skier will choose longer ski with a smaller sidecut and a long radius. This is because a longer has more stability, reliability and smoothness at high speeds.
Ski instructor tip:Choose a designated race model. Stability and agilty are the most important factors.
