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.​

​Park​

Park and freestyle skis are typically ridden shorter than all-mountain or freeride skis. A ski 5 to 15 cm shorter than your height is easier to spin, press, and maneuver in the air. Advanced and expert skiers should choose a ski that matches their height. Heavier skiers may want to size up by up to 5 cm. Less experienced or lighter skiers may prefer a ski that is 5 to 10 cm shorter than their height.​
