some ski companies measure to the tip, and some measure to like halfway up the tip/tail or something like that

Some do the straight tape method where they measure from the top of the tip to the top of the tail, so the tape is actually up off of ski. Others measure the length by along the whole length of the ski top as if the tip/tail were flattened out. Hope that helps.
