What is the proper ski size for me?
Völkl recommend sizing customers for skis with the “Use your Head” method. The key to this rule is simplicity. For Type 1 (novice) skier, size the skis with the tip approximately chin height. For Type 2 (intermediate) skier, use approximately nose height. Type 3 (expert) skiers will be sized correctly when the ski tip is at forehead height. Note: There are a few exceptions to the rule to be aware of. Slalom racing skis like the Racetiger SL Racing and the SL Race Stock will be sized considerably shorter. In racing women generally use a 155cm and men use a 165cm. Powder specific skis like the Gotama or Katana are sized longer, mainly for expert skiers. For the best sizing advice, ask your local Völkl retailer.
