How to determine your correct ski length​

​When choosing the right ski length, there are a couple of factors you need to take into consideration. The most important are your height, weight, ability level, and the type of skiing you plan to do.​

​As a general guideline, choose a ski that reaches somewhere between your chin and the top of your head (or, for some skis, slightly above your head). A shorter ski makes shorter turns and is typically easier to maneuver at lower speeds, while a longer ski will have a longer turn radius and generally offers greater stability and confidence at higher speeds.​

​Taller, heavier, and more advanced skiers often prefer slightly longer skis because they have more leverage over the ski. Shorter, lighter people and less-experienced skiers will usually feel more comfortable with the agility of a shorter ski.​

​The recommendations below provide a general starting point for choosing the right ski length within Atomic’s ski range. Individual preferences, ski models, and intended terrain may influence the ideal length.​

​All Mountain​

All-mountain skis are designed to perform across a wide variety of conditions, so the ideal length depends on where you ski most often. A ski around your height is a good starting point. If you spend more time on groomed slopes or in tighter terrain, a slightly shorter ski (minus 5 to 10 cm) will feel more agile. If you frequently explore ungroomed terrain, softer snow, or wide-open slopes, a slightly longer ski (plus 5 to 10 cm) can provide greater stability and floatation.​
