What size and style of ski should I put my child on?

October 29, 2014 by

It is important that the athletes train on skis meant for racing and NOT twin-tips or powder skis.

While ski length depends on the ability, weight, and strength of the athlete, the following guidelines can be used:

  • Slalom – ski length between the chin and nose.
  • Multi-event – ski length between the chin and forehead.
  • Giant Slalom* – ski length to the top of the head.

* – U12 athletes participate in a number of Giant Slalom (GS) races throughout the season.  While GS skis are not required, they can be beneficial, particularly for the 2nd-year athletes with a desire to move on to the U14 program with the Sunshine Alpine Racers.

Please contact our Program Director at programdirector@sunshinespeedsters.com if you have further questions.
