Understanding Ski Length

Ski length is an important factor for your performance and safety on the slopes. A ski that's too long can be difficult to control, while one that's too short may not provide adequate stability.

This calculator uses a formula based on your height and weight, adjusted for your skill level and preferred skiing type. The formula is a simplified version of industry recommendations and should be used as a starting point.

Important Considerations

  • The recommended length is a guideline - experienced skiers might prefer slightly different lengths based on personal preference
  • Ski length also depends on ski width and your boots
  • This calculator is most accurate for all-mountain skis
  • For specialized skis (like powder skis), it's recommended to consult with a professional at a ski shop
