Rossignol Men's X-5 Cross Country Touring Ski Boots

For kids, women and men – based on skier height.

Choosing the right ski size starts with your ability level. Beginners tend to prefer shorter skis for easier turning and control. Intermediate skiers often look for a balanced length that offers both control and stability. Advanced skiers generally size up for added speed, stability, and performance in variable terrain. Once you know your ability level use your height to find your general size range below.

• You ski fast or aggressive.
• You weigh more than average for your height.
• You plan to ski mostly off-piste or in powder.
• Your skis have significant rocker in the tip.
• You want more stability at speed.

• You prefer easier turn initiation.
• You are lighter than average for your height.
• You spend most of your time on groomed runs.
• You are a beginner or intermediate skier.
• You want easier control and quick turns.

Most skiers will find a ski length that feels natural somewhere between chin and head height, but where you land within that range depends on personal preference and comfort level. If you prefer easy maneuverability and quick control, lean toward the shorter end of the range. If you want more stability, speed, and confidence in deeper snow, aim for the longer end of the range.
