Choosing skis: length & ski type
Which skis suit you? Find our answers on choosing alpine, freeride, touring, junior and cross-country skis.
Alpine skisWhich ski length is right for me?
Your height, weight, skiing ability and preferred turns determine the appropriate length. Consider the model description and the available lengths. Our team can help you choose.
Freeride & freestyleHow do I choose length and width?
Match length and waist width to your height, skiing ability and terrain. Float in soft snow, piste performance and manoeuvrability vary by model. We can advise on suitable options for park, freeride or mixed use.
Touring skisHow do I choose touring ski length?
Alongside your height and skiing ability, consider the balance between climbing and descending. Weight, waist width and construction affect how the ski performs. A personal recommendation takes your terrain and touring style into account.
Junior skisWhich length suits my child?
Height, weight, skiing ability and the specific ski model matter when choosing a length. Buying a longer ski to grow into is not automatically the right choice. Share these details with us for a personal recommendation.
Cross-country skisHow do I choose cross-country skis?
First choose between classic and skating technique. Length and ski flex must suit your body weight, ability and the specific model. Follow the manufacturer’s guidance or ask us for advice.
