1-of-a-Kind SPECIALS

Things to note when choosing a ski size:
• There are 2.54cm in an inch. So getting a ski that is 3cm +/- what the chart says wont affect the average recrational/intermediate skier.
• The chart above decifers what ski a person needs based upon where the ski will measure up to their body.
  • Little children need the ski to hit them in the chest/shoulders so as to help avoid leg fatigue and crossing their skis.
  • Beggining skiers will want the ski to go up to their chin so they will be able to manuever the ski without going too fast.
  • Recreational skiers with experience will probably need a ski that hit them in the nose because they will get a good mix of speed and manueverability.
  • Intermediate skiers will may want something that is long for a more aggresive trip down the hill so a ski that goes up to the forhead to the top of the head will usually be best.
  • Advanced skiers will want to choose what size ski they use based upon their skiing style, conditions they are skiing in, and the type of ski they want to use. For speed a longer ski, for a more responsive ski a shorter ski will be best.
• If you have an unusually large stature you may want to order a ski that is a bit longer. If you have a small stature you may want to order a shorter ski.
• This chart is a generalization. It is merely to help you get close to the size that will work for an average sized person for each height. It does not take into consideration variables such as a person's stature, where they are skiing, and what they are skiing on. When in doubt about what ski to choose please give us a call at 1-877-SPORTS7. We are not responsible for skis ordered off of this chart that don't work well for what you need. Please see our RETURN POLICY about exchanging skis.

  Metron Index

  Traditionally, ski sizing has been based on height, with exceptions made for weights that don't fall within the norm. Metron has redefined those parameters. To find the best Metron size for you, these factors must be considered:
