Ski Size by Weight

Weight changes how a ski flexes and feels. Use this table to refine your base ski length.

Weight Adjustment Table

Weight Band Adjustment vs Base Length Typical Use Case
Very light for height-5 to -8 cmEasier turn initiation, lower effort
Slightly light-2 to -4 cmMore forgiving setup
Average0 cmUse base chart recommendation
Slightly heavy+2 to +4 cmBetter edge hold and support
Heavy for height+5 to +8 cmMore stability and flotation

Practical Rules

  • Adjust less for park/freestyle and short-radius turning.
  • Adjust more for powder, speed, and open terrain stability.
  • When in doubt, test two sizes around your baseline recommendation.
