Today, alpine skiing is attracting more and more people, because they have long gone out of the category of expensive outdoor activities and have become more affordable. People who believe that it is easy to choose and buy alpine skis are very mistaken. And this mistake can lead to future injuries. Before buying skis, you need to consider many factors, one of the most important criteria is the growth of the skier. In order to correctly calculate the length of the skis, you must follow these steps.
Instructions
Step 1
Classic alpine skiing.
First you need to add 15 cm to your height. Then add another 5 cm if your weight exceeds the value of the formula "Height minus 100 cm." In the event that the weight is less than this value, then you need to subtract 5 cm from the resulting amount. If there is a significant difference in weight and norm, add or subtract 8 cm.
For rolling in large arcs or at speed - add 3 cm. If for short arcs, then you need to subtract 5 cm.
Example: The weight of a skier is 65 kg, and his height is 180 cm.
1.180 + 15 = 195cm.
2.195-5 = 190cm. (since the weight is less than the value of the formula "Height minus 100")
3.190 + 3 = 193cm. (since skating is provided for speed and large arcs)
Step 2
Carving alpine skiing.
If you are a beginner, then you need to subtract 15-20 cm from your height, if you already know how to ski, you need to subtract 5-10 cm. Further, as for classic alpine skiing.
