HOW TO CHOOSE THE RIGHT SKI SIZE FOR YOUR CHILD

The right size ski for your child is best calculated by their height and weight. The general rule for junior skis is that they should measure somewhere between the child's chest and nose.

Follow these simple steps to make the right selection:

1. Determine your child's height and weight.

2. Find your child's height on the below chart.

3. If your child's height is between two of the listed heights, find their weight and proceed as follows:

* If child is light for their height, use the shorter height. (This will result in a shorter ski recommendation)

* If child is heavy for their height, use the taller height. (This will result in a longer ski recommendation)

4. Once the correct height has been determined, follow that row across to the suggested ski length column.

5. Within the suggested ski length range there are several reasons to size up or down. See below chart for recommendations in making this decision.

SIZE SHORTER, CLOSER TO CHEST IF:

* Child’s weight is less than average for their height.

* Child is a novice level and/or cautious skier.

* Child likes to make quick short turns.

* Child is still developing turning skills.

SIZE LONGER, CLOSER TO THE NOSE IF:

* Child’s weight is more than average for their height.

* Child’s ability level is advanced.

* Child likes to ski fast.

* You are looking at a ski with early rise or powder rocker.

* You are looking to have “room to grow”. We do not recommend going longer than your child’s suggested size range.
