Sizing Ski Equipment for Kids
Skis
Skis are measured in centimeters (cm). Your ski length will depend on your ability, height and weight. The following chart will give you a general range that will work for most beginners and intermediate classic youth skiers. However, we recommend that you consult a reputable dealer when buying skis for kids of any age. For beginners shorter is better.
*(Skate skis and poles should be sized by an experienced skier or a reputable dealer.)
