What Size Ski should you be on?
Determining the right size ski involves considering your height, weight, skiing style, and ability. Generally, ski length should fall between your chin and the top of your head. For example, a 6' tall skier might opt for skis between 170cm and 190cm, but the exact size depends on individual factors.
Factors like ski category, snow type, terrain, and personal preference play a role. Beginner skiers often choose shorter skis for easier maneuverability, while advanced skiers lean towards longer skis for stability.
Here are reasons to size up or down within your recommended ski size range:
Size your skis shorter, closer to your chin if:
- You are a beginner or intermediate skier.
- You weigh less than average for your height.
- You prefer making short, quick turns and don't ski at high speeds.
- You want a carving ski with only camber and no rocker.
Size your skis longer, closer to the top of your head if:
- You ski fast and aggressively.
- You weigh more than average for your height.
- You plan to ski mostly off-trail.
- You intend to use a twin-tip ski.
- You want a ski with a lot of rocker.
Ultimately, there's no one-size-fits-all formula, and personal preferences will play a significant role in finding the ideal ski size for you. Trying out different sizes or consulting with experienced skiers can help you make the best choice for your skiing experience.
What Size Boots Should I Buy? What is Mondo Sizing?
Ski boots are sized using Mondo Sizing. While the Mondopoint sizing is a good starting point, there are various factors to consider when choosing ski boot sizes, such as personal preferences, performance requirements, and tolerance for close-fitting footwear. Here are some general recommendations based on skier level:
Beginner/Intermediate Skiers: It's advisable to choose a ski boot close to their indicated Mondopoint length or slightly longer, even if it feels snug initially. The boot liner will compress over time, providing more space as they ski more frequently.
Intermediate/Advanced Skiers: They should also choose a ski boot close to their indicated size or slightly shorter, but opt for a stiffer flex. Pay attention to the boot's width and select one that offers a snug fit if possible, as it improves control and performance.
Advanced/Expert Skiers: Typically, they may choose a shell size 1/2 to a full size smaller than their indicated size for an extremely precise and responsive fit, along with a stiff or very stiff flex. Downsizing might require assistance from a skilled bootfitter to ensure the boots are comfortable enough for extended skiing sessions.
