How does the Ski Size Calculator work?

Our calculator uses key personal information—gender, skiing ability, height, weight, age, and preferred ski discipline—to recommend an optimal ski length. These factors are processed through a backend formula that follows general industry standards and expert guidelines

What inputs are required?

You’ll need to provide:

  • Gender: Man, Woman, or Child
  • Skill level: Beginner, Intermediate, or Advanced
  • Height: Adjustable range from 90 cm to 210 cm
  • Weight: Adjustable range from 15 kg to 130 kg
  • Age: From 1 to 99 years
  • Skiing discipline: All mountain, powder, piste, park & pipe, backcountry, or all

All these fields help tailor the ski length recommendation specifically for you.

Why do gender and age matter?

Gender and age help estimate the skier’s strength, flexibility, and experience level. These aspects subtly affect ski length—for example, children and lighter individuals typically require shorter skis for better control.

Yes. For beginners, the calculator tends to suggest skis that are slightly shorter than average. This ensures better control and easier maneuverability, which helps build confidence faster on snow.

What if I ski multiple disciplines?

If you’re not sure or switch between styles, you can select « All » in the discipline dropdown. The calculator will provide a balanced recommendation that suits most terrain types.

Is the recommendation precise?

It’s a strong starting point based on known ski sizing formulas and practical experience. While the calculator provides a reliable estimate, ski size can also depend on personal preference and specific brand models, which may vary in shape and rocker profile.

Can I trust the calculator if I’m between sizes?

Yes—but keep in mind:

  • If you’re more confident or aggressive on skis, lean toward the longer end of the range.
  • If you value control and easier turns, especially at low speeds, shorter skis will be more forgiving.
  • We recommend trying both sizes if you’re unsure—especially if you’re renting.

Do I need to enter my exact weight?

Yes. Weight plays a crucial role in determining the correct ski length, especially for disciplines like backcountry or powder skiing where float and stability matter.

Why does the calculator ask for skiing discipline?

Different types of skis behave differently depending on where and how they’re used.

Can I use this if I’m renting skis?

Absolutely. The calculator is a helpful tool to guide your rental choice and discuss your needs with rental staff. Just be sure to mention your weight and skiing ability clearly.

Is the calculator free to use?

Yes. There’s no registration or payment required. Just input your data and get your recommendation instantly.
