How to Choose Your Freestyle Ski Size ?

Choosing the right ski length is a crucial step for your comfort in the park. Unlike classic alpine skiing, freestyle follows specific rules related to maneuverability and stability in the air..

2. The impact of the Rocker

Attention, many modern freestyle skis have a Double rocker (skis raised at the front and back).

3. Your riding style

• The Jibber Opt for a short ski to «knit» on the modules.
• The All-rounder Aim for your height minus 5 cm. This is the perfect compromise for going from the park to the piste.
• The Backcountry: If you like powder skiing, take skis your size, or even a bit bigger, for flotation.
