For an enjoyable ski touring experience, having the right gear is essential—especially equipment tailored to your height. Here are some tips to help you choose the perfect ski.
1 - Match Your Ski to Your Style
Typically, for versatile use, skis should be 5 to 8 cm shorter than your height. However, length varies by discipline. For freerando, for example, skis should match your height and be wider.
2 - Match Your Ski to Conditions
Planning to ski late season when temperatures rise and snow becomes granular? Opt for slightly shorter skis to make transitions and turns easier.
3 - Match Your Ski to Your Skill Level
Generally, beginners are advised to choose wider and longer skis for easier handling. But if you’re up for a challenge, try skiing with a narrower waist.
