A shaped ski with an average sidecut and stiffness for an intermediate skier should stand just about as high as their nose. If you feel the need to add length for some extra weight, or a higher ability level the ski should be no taller than the forehead. If you need to subtract ski length, due to the opposite as above, use your chin as a guide. It's a pretty foolproof method to correctly size most skis. | |

| Nothing can be taken as gospel but this is at least useful and gets people thinking about more than just one factor. Though maybe biased a bit long for today's skis. http://www.summitsportsinc.com/onlin...ing-guide.html |
