1. What is Women's Ski Size for Kids?

The Women's Ski Size Calculator for Kids helps determine the appropriate ski length based on a child's height and skill level. Proper ski length is crucial for safety and learning progression.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the following formula:

Where:

• For beginners: Subtract 15-20 cm from height
• For intermediate skiers: Subtract 12-15 cm from height
• For advanced skiers: Subtract 10-12 cm from height

Explanation: Shorter skis are easier to control for beginners, while more advanced skiers can handle longer skis for better stability at speed.
