It is possible to determine length of skis in one more way: it is necessary to extend the hand up and from the received growth to subtract 10 cm. Skis for ridge style are a little shorter, than for classical. To growth of the athlete 15-20 cm increase. For the beginning skiers the equipment can be even shorter.

For younger school students length of skis has to be not above the elbow, for the senior school students the same rules, as for adults work. Pay attention and the child's weight. To kids weighing up to 20 kg of the ski there have to be about 70-80 cm, from 20 to 30 kg – 90 cm, 30-40 kg – 100 cm. If the child only begins to ride, then long skis will be the big hindrance.
