How to choose ski length and boot size

Simple tables for choosing skis, snowboards and boots by height, level and foot size.

A pair of ski boots

The right size matters for safety and fun. The values below are a starting point; we fine-tune the fit in the shop.

Ski length

Level Suggested ski length
Beginner 15-20 cm shorter than your height
Intermediate about 10 cm shorter
Advanced close to your height or 5 cm shorter

Example: a 175 cm beginner suits 155-160 cm skis.

Snowboard length

Stood on its tail, a board should reach roughly between your chin and nose. Beginners can go one size shorter, heavier riders one size longer.

Boot size (Mondopoint)

Ski boots are sized by foot length in centimetres (Mondopoint).

Shoe (EU) Mondopoint
36 23.0
38 24.5
40 25.5
42 27.0
44 28.5
46 29.5

Boots should be snug, toes lightly touching the front, heel staying down. Wear one thin ski sock.

Helmet

Helmet size follows head circumference measured just above the eyebrows: S 52-55 cm, M 55-58 cm, L 58-61 cm.
