i usualy get them the same height as i am if they are twin tip, that way you still get the same amount of surface area if you ues the way you mentioned.

'what?' Lauren every time you ask her a question for the first time!

skiing what i thought this was a porn site and every one i was talking to were sexy ppl ..i thought skiing was a sex term we all uesed. damn!-twintiprider

Yup, unless ur in the park = a little shorter i.e. chin, or off piste = a little longer i.e. forehead

put your arm straight up in the air and the tips of your skis should reach your wrist.

you could use sizing for the average skier like that. but my system is just whatever the hell size feels comfortable.

It really depends on what you like and what you are doing. If you're doing bc then yea above your head would be fine. if its the park then you could follow the whole chin eye rule or whatever it is. For me, i love longer skis, ie: 185cm for the park. It really comes down to preference though.

Depends on your preference and what your skiing.

My skis range from 164 to 181.

if your a kid an still growin den go sumwhere within 3cm each way of your actaul height, stopped growin= about da same for powder, cud maybe go bit bigger, normal cruizin= 10cm shorter. and if u ski anything about 5 to 10cm shorter, park is up to what you like, well i guess all of those are but more so for the park skis, id go about ur own height for park though
