Please consider that 2-3 cm longer or shorter is not going to make a huge difference. The chart below is for general reference only based on your height, but you should also consider these other factors. . .
Go with a LONGER length if you:
- Feel your current skis are too small
- Want to ski faster & float better
- Are a heavier person
- Are an expert, aggressive skier
Go with a SHORTER length if you:
- Feel your current skis are too long
- Want easier maneuverability & float in powder is less important
- Are a light person
- Are a beginner, casual skier
