Twintip skis (often called park skis, pipe skis or freestyle skis) are cool! They let you play on jumps, rails and jibs in the terrain park.
Make sure to buy twintip skis in right length. Let us help you determine your roughly twintip (park) ski length below...
How to Determine Classic Ski Length?
By Height Measurement:
Body height is used to determine your Twintip (park) ski length. Stand with your back against a wall and your feet together. Look staight forward. Place a book or a ruler on the top of your head and push it against the wall (make sure it is horizontal). Measure distance from the floor and up to the book/ruler, etc. Determine your Twintip (park) ski length from our ski length chart below.
In the store:
If picking up your skis in a physical store, place one of the skis in front of you, with the tip pointing against your face. The ski tip should reach somewhere between your forehead and the top of your head. Pick shorter skis if you are a beginner (between your nose tip and your eyebrows) and longer skis if you are a intermediate/advanced skier (up to your body height).
