1. What is Junior Ski Size Calculation?

The Junior Ski Size calculation provides a recommended ski length based on a child's height. Proper ski length is essential for control, stability, and learning progression.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the simple formula:

Where:

• \( Height \) — Child's height in centimeters
• 15 cm — Standard reduction for junior skis

Explanation: Junior skis are typically shorter than the child's height for easier control and maneuverability while learning.

3. Importance of Proper Ski Length

Details: Correct ski length helps beginners maintain control, build confidence, and progress faster while reducing injury risk.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Measure the child's height accurately without shoes. Enter the height in centimeters (between 50-220 cm).

5. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: Can this formula be used for all children?
A: This is a general guideline. Consider the child's skill level - beginners may prefer slightly shorter skis.

Q2: What about very young children?
A: For toddlers (under 4), skis typically come in fixed lengths (70-90cm) regardless of height.

Q3: Should ski length change as skills improve?
A: Yes, more advanced junior skiers can use longer skis (up to chin height).

Q4: Does weight affect ski length?
A: For junior skis, height is the primary factor. Weight becomes more important with adult skis.

Q5: What if my child is between sizes?
A: Choose the shorter length for beginners, or round up for more experienced junior skiers.
