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.​

​Kids​

For children aged 2 to 5 years, select skis that reach just below the child's chin. For children aged 6 to 12 years, the ski tip should come to the center of the child's forehead. Depending on the child's height and skill level, a shorter or longer ski may be more suitable, with beginners typically benefiting from shorter skis.​
