I need snow skis.?

Question

i am 152 cm tall, i am 55 kg, i am a size 7-8 shoe and i was wondering what size snow skis i should buy?

Answer 1

Yeah, depends on ability and what you're going to use them for. I'm 167 cm and i have a 151 pair, 170, and 181. Sooooooo just figure out what you're going to be doing. If you're just freeskiing all terrain and you're not an expert prbably a 150ish.

If you're buying them volkl and blizzard are the best :)

Answer 2

Generally skis should be about as long as the distance from the ground to your nose.  A little longer if you're an advanced skiier, a little shorter if you're a beginner.  And you can certainly add or subtract about 10cm just based on personal preference.

Answer 3

This depends on your ability level, and the type of terrain you ski.  If you are a beginner/intermediate,150-160cm in a soft, flexxy ski will work.  Don't forget the lessons!

Answer 4

buy 152

Answer 5

I'm 178cm tall and I use 177's.  So by that logic, you should use something closer to your height.  Longer, narrower skis are good for stability on groomed runs while shorter, fatter skis are good for going off-piste (through the trees or into the powder).  Since you don't appear to have much knowledge about the subject, I assume you're a newer skier.  I would suggest something around 160-165cm for stability.

Answer 6

It depends on your ability and your age. If you have quit growing and are a beginner, then a 155 cm in a soft to medium flex ski for an intermediate level skier.  A beginner ski should be from the rental shop, an intermediate or advanced ski, never a race ski until you are racing, is the best choice. If you expect to grow a few more cm and will ski a great deal, then add 5-8 cm. Ask your instructor for advice.  Take lessons every trip.
