Choosing Downhill Skis For Kids

Generally, kids should have their skis by 10-20 cm shorter than their height. That means the skis should stand up to their chin. Very small kids can use skis up to 30 cm shorter.

For example, a child 100 cm tall should not use skis longer than 90 cm.

Child's height	Ski length
80 - 90 cm	70 cm
100 cm	80 - 90 cm
105 cm	90 cm
110 cm	90 - 100 cm
115 cm	100 cm
120 cm	100 - 110 cm
125 cm	110 cm
130 cm	110 - 120 cm
135 cm	120 cm
140 cm	120 - 130 cm
145 cm	130 cm
150 cm	130 - 140 cm

For the shortest skis, the brand or quality is not of much importance, as most children's skis are light and flexible, which is enough for beginners. Skis with a length of 100-130 cm have the same characteristics. Manufacturers design skis for beginners that are also suitable for children who already know how to ski.

Advanced models are also available on the market, for example with a wooden core and various attachments. These models have different radius. Smaller radiuses are designed for short turns and larger radiuses for longer turns.

We also recommend you to get your bindings installed and adjusted by a professional, so that the highest level of safety and maximum functionality is guaranteed.
