Nordic Ski Size Guide/ Info

Your height and weight are both important factors when selecting the correct nordic ski for you. To find the best ski you should begin by determining the height of the ski you should be skiing on. With this information, you will have multiple skis to choose from. Using the chart below, you should choose the ski that best suits your weight at the correct height. 

Ideal Height

Classic Skis:  The ideal classic ski will be 10-30 cm above the skier's height.

Skate Skis: An ideal skate ski can range from equivalent height to the skier to 15 cm taller.

Why you may want a ski on the short side for your height:

• You are a newer, less experienced skier
• You want to be able to easily maneuver your skis and turn quickly

Why you might want a ski to be on the long side for your height:

• You are a more advanced skier
• You want your skis to be faster and do not need extra maneuverability

Race Skis

We recommend that all race skis be purchased directly through our expert nordic staff to ensure correct stiffness in the ski.

Junior Skis

Many of the same rules apply to junior skis as they do adult skis. The main difference when sizing junior skis is that they are going to be shorter than adult skis, when compared to the skier.

Classic Skis: Between 5-20 cm taller than the skier.

Skate Skis: Between 10 cm shorter than the skier and 10 cm taller.
