WHAT IS THE RIGHT LENGTH FOR MY SKI?

In short: Skis with a small radius must also be shorter. The better the level of the skier, the longer the length of his skis. Beginners should prefer shorter skis and experienced skis longer skis for faster turns.

The right length for your ski does not necessarily depend on your height but mainly on your abilities, your technique and your requirements.

Longer skis provide more stability at high speeds. You can develop higher speeds but you need more power to "steer" the skis.

Shorter skis are more flexible, turn faster, but are less stable in large turns and at high speeds.

In summary: Skis with a small radius must also have a shorter length.

HOW DO I MAINTAIN MY SKI?

Properly maintained skis develop higher speeds and are safer. You can maintain your ski yourself or directly
