What size ski should I ride?

The size of ski you should ride depends on several factors, including your height, weight, skiing ability, preferred terrain, and skiing style. Here are some general guidelines to help you choose the right size ski:

1. Height and weight: Generally, taller and heavier skiers need longer skis to support their weight and provide stability. Shorter and lighter skiers may prefer shorter skis for better maneuverability.
2. Skiing ability: If you are a beginner, you may want to start with shorter skis that are easier to turn and control. Intermediate and advanced skiers may prefer longer skis that can handle higher speeds and more challenging terrain.
3. Preferred terrain: If you primarily ski on groomed runs, you may want shorter skis that are more agile and easier to turn. If you prefer off-piste skiing or powder, longer skis may be better for floating on top of the snow and providing stability in deeper snow.
4. Skiing style: If you like to make short, quick turns, shorter skis may be more suitable. If you prefer making longer, sweeping turns, longer skis may be better.

As a general rule of thumb, the length of your skis should be somewhere between your chin and the top of your head, but this can vary depending on the factors mentioned above. It's a good idea to consult with us here in-store to help you choose the right size ski for your needs.

What size snowboard should I ride?

The size of the snowboard you should choose depends on several factors, including your weight, height, riding style, and skill level. As a general rule of thumb, a good starting point for snowboard sizing is to choose a board that comes up to somewhere between your chin and nose.

Here are some general guidelines for snowboard sizing based on rider weight:

• If you weigh less than 45 kilograms, a board between 130-135 cm may be appropriate.
• If you weigh between 45-54 kilograms, a board between 135-140 cm may be appropriate.
• If you weigh between 54-68 kilograms, a board between 140-145 cm may be appropriate.
• If you weigh between 68-82 kilograms, a board between 145-155 cm may be appropriate.
• If you weigh between 82-95 kilograms, a board between 155-165 cm may be appropriate.
• If you weigh over 95 kilograms, a board between 160-170 cm may be appropriate.

Again, these are just general guidelines, and it's important to consider other factors as well. If you are a beginner, you may want a shorter board that is easier to maneuver. If you plan on doing a lot of freeriding or backcountry riding, you may want a longer board for added stability and float. If you are unsure it’s a good idea to consult with us here at Alpine Beach for personalized advice on selecting the right size board for you.
