Im thinking about Bent Chetler 100 18/19, but they have only 180cm in stock, my height is 176+-. I want to ride a park or powder, is it a right choose?
I'm on volkl carbon fiber powder skis 184 w joker touring bindings, maybe 2016s, love em in resort all terrain for fast superG or trees, side country.. I'm only 160 lbs but hate shorter skis, renting they always try to give me 170s, but High school raced FIS on 203cm s
Great formula and good caveats to include. I'm 68 years old, (5'8" / 173cm, 160 lbs / 73kg) and of course, in 1970, I was on a pair of Dynamic VR17's at 207 cm! I include that because of some of the previous (funny) comments regarding loooong skis. About 18 years ago, I switched to telemark skiing, but the formula works for me. My quiver of skis for use in Utah: 1. For powder days, I was on 185cm Armada JJ's at 116 underfoot and they were amazing. I sold them and am now on 182cm Dynastar M-Free 108's which I have just gotten and not skied yet. 2. For those days of under about 10" / 25cm of new or chopped up over bumps, my go to ski is a pair of Blizzard Rustler 10's at 172cm. 3. Bump days with less than about 6" / 12cm or chopped up days after a storm or choppy bump days, Atomic Vantage 85 at 165cm. 4. And for really hard pack, carving days or bump days when they are really set up, 160cm Rossignol 84 AI's with a blisteringly tight 11.5m turn radius. I don't go in the park, but I like to ski switch and the rocker/camber/rocker design is brilliant for all of my needs!
Testing: 186 tall ~180 eye level +heavier +2cm (102 kg) + quite heavier 2cm +fast and long turns +2cm +powder +2cm +rocker +2cm +free ride +2cm = 192cm. Exactly the length of my Bent Chetler 120s, success! I think there’s a little bit of room for discretion like I used for double heavy or if someone is just waaaay different in some sense, but overall it’s a good guide. One more criterion id out there is confidence interval of +/- 2cm. Meaning if your calcs are within 2cm in either direction of the ski length you come across, it is an acceptable match.
I skied yesterday and I need a new hit soon. Got my fingers crossed for you my Austrian friends! Stay safe and do lots of squats during you lockdown! :)
I’m 190cm tall, very heavy, huge feet and this gave me some good perspective. I typically use 177 when renting. I think this is usually what’s available, I want to try something in the 190cm range now in possible a 95-100 flex. Also this makes me think of how funny I looked last weekend on a pair of 165cm rentals, they were really fun, but stopping power was.. also, lass mich einfach sagen, dass es weg war 😂
Couple questions: 1) do you use the vertical height of the skis or actual length, which comes out shorter? 2) do you take boots/shoes thickness into account?
I'm 198cm/85kg and run on 163cm skis with R13. I love it. Longer skis make long turns and you need much speed to make sharp turns. But I tested 170cm R16 and did not feel comfortable at all, not my style. More than just looking into your height and centimeters, is much more important how you want to ski and what ski length and radius will bring you that feeling. Test some different skis and forget all these rules. The most stupid thing is to buy skis which follow some formula but doesn't support your ski style you want. That will eventually stop your hobby.
i want to try shorter skies because i feel too much drag when i want to turn as a beginner ill give a shot at something like 165 tomorrow they always give me something about 180 because I'm 186 and 93 kg but I feel it will be more fun in a smaller one
5'10-11" and about 75kg/165lbs, I just got a pair of 179's (Nordica Enforcer Free 104). They're the sweet spot for me. I feel like I can do just about everything with them.
This was the best breakdown video for picking ski length I’ve seen yet. It seems like there’s so much pressure to pick longer skis, and I really appreciate your logic around having the right ski for the right purpose. THANK YOU!!
Greetings from Mt. Hood Oregon! Great video as always! Cant wait to shred my first pair of brand new skis (Chetler 100s)! Counting down the days until we can hit the slopes!!
I have 2 types, 50 or 213 cm. Its just depends on what I want to do for the day. 50 feels like something in between skiing and ice skating, while 213 lets me ride aggressive SG lines.
Okay, without getting to the quote whether this formula works or not" I ran the numbers. I ski a 179 cm length Atomic backland 117. I've been seeing on this length and with since 2016 or so when it was the Automatic. I chose this length because it's short enough to be nimble in the trees and moguls in Utah, but let me float on deep days in Japan and Europe. Your formula resulted in the length -179/180 - on which I have been skiing for years. So applause to you 👏👏👏 Probably could ski the 184 without issues, but skiing 201s into moguls as a kid had my scared into shortest possible skis.
I know this is an older video, however someone going from skiboards/ski blades to skis, there were a ton of questions that I had recently and your videos, esp this one helped me tremendously. Just wanted to drop a comment and say thank you
Age and physical fitness level also def play a major role in selecting your boards ! Please make the opportunity to test before purchasing !! You methodology is a good starting point . . .
This comment makes me feel so much better haha I just got some Salomon QST 92 and they are about at the top of my head and I am very worried about them this year. Hopefully it will all work out!
@@garretthayden7031 you'll be fine with those, it's not an exact science at all, I've skied two skis that are like 5 cm different on back to back days, and hardly noticed a difference
I really liked this tutorial! I've been contimplating on buying a longer ski now that I've gotten more comfortable and confident in my abilities. Excited to apply this method to find my perfect ski length!
Highly recommend to rent one in your desired length for a day. Some rental shops even let you try two or even three different ski's and sell you the ones that felt best.
Definitely a good general way to look at it. The only thing that can be a bit confusing for some would be the stiffness. Maybe mention that it holds mainly true when it's the exact same model. That if you start mixing models the stiffness can be totally different regardless of size. Eg. a 171cm Head Framewall will be way stiffer than a 181cm Head Caddy, even though both are freestyle of the same brand. Same deal with the Head Kore 99 vs the other in the Kore lineup. The 99 is a much stiffer ski.
Thanks i’m going to buy new skis soon so i needed help and so i saw this video so i clicked on it. + i was already subscribed to you because you taught me frontflip on skis!
Back in the late 70s-early 80s I was competing Freestyle. I skied 185cm K2s for bumps and jumps. Some competitions and ski areas had areas where you had a minimum 200cm ski length Mary Jane at Winter Park, CO was one. Before I went pro we weren't allowed to go inverted or do more than a 720 off the kicker. On the pro circuit we could do any jump you could get certified for, but a double twisting triple was as far as I got. It helped that one of my coaches was Eddie Lincoln and skiing with the greats like Scott Brooksbank, John Clendenin was awesome.
To make things even more confusing - there are some differences at how manufacturers define the length of skis. Some of them mark up the length of the surface of skis, or unbent skis ( so after the ski is shaped up actual projection length is 2-2.5 cm shorter than claimed one); others put the length of projection, thus 170 of one brand can be longer than 172 of other brand.
Liked the advice! but for deep pow, just go for the longest length there is unless you weigh very little! I'm the same size as you, and i'm on the 193 Bent Chetlers and they are still too short for the very deep days.
The bent chetler 120 and similar skis should always be 5 to 10 cm above your own height in my opinion. The central mounting point makes the shovels short for deep snow otherwise and they are super agile anyway
The meaning of "Rocker" varies such a lot. A lot of racing skis have a tip rocker, park skis have a fairly small tail kick. Then you have huge full rocker off-piste skis. You definitely want to go a bit longer on those, because a large amount of the ski is not in contact with the snow at times.
Iam 178.5 cm skiied for many years , 12 years as a ski instructor ...I SKI on 200cm powder skiis & 207 slope skiis .. Lacroix ,powder , Streuler slope .. !
I'm 5'10 and typically ski on 178 88 underfoot. But I found the most insane deal 50% off elan Domino skis which are 188 length and very heavy powder skis. I feel like its going to make me a much better rider learning how to control them and I can look into a custom pair next season probably around 182
Thank you for the content and useful formula. Question: should I be wearing boots, shoes, or bare feet for the eye-level reference? Wearing boots raises me up several centimeters. Sorry if you answered this elsewhere.
I’m 1.85m, and I use 1.65m Atomic Redsters for Piste(basically the Slalom ski variant), they work fine for me, I have it up to approximately my chin, it usually is the case that, the shorter the slalom ski the more control you have over them, I can’t really agree or disagree since I’ve just been at this length for a long long time and I got used to it, I tried 1.95m Downhill skis, that was the coolest experience ever, the ability to hold the edge on a 50% slope at speed is madness, but, I don’t recommend doing it if you are new to skiing, stick to piste, falling hurts, found out twice when on the Downhill 1.95m’s
These formulas always have me in too short skis. 🤣 66 years old, 173 cm tall (so eye height maybe 160) , 70kg intermediate to lower advanced. I like a mix of short aggressive turns, wide sweeping turns at speed, a few moguls (missing from the video). All mountain skis so more GS and freerider type I guess, but more frontside than backside. So using your method maybe +4 or +6 (or around 165). I have demo'd a bunch of skis and that is just way t0o short for me. I'm a lot happier around 173-177. To each their own! Cheers!
Please help me in choosing the right ski I'm let's say intermediate to advanced skier and I want to buy a new pair of skis I stopped at: - Fischer RC4 The Curv Race TI + RSc10GW - Rossignol Pursuit 700bTI + NX12K Dualb2018 M - Elan GSX PRO PS + ELS 11 GRN All from above are at the same price I'm 1.80 cm and 82kg looking for 170cm ski. I apreciate if you can help me choose.
the large majority of skiers will have only one pair of skis, based on that I always suggest an all around ski, an all mountain type for the more adventurous skier, however I will suggest a slalom or giant slalom ski for those type of skiers that just like the groomers. I have over six pairs of skis and the one I choose will depend on the people I am skiing with that day, if they snowboard then I will snowboard and so on .... skiing is fun but it is a lot more fun when you go with friends
I am 5"10" (178 cm) 165 Lbs (75 kg). I like the Atomic bend 100. probably wise to rent the 172 & 180 to see which is best for me. As well as the 110 & 120 under foot. Now just getting into powder, and black runs and loved it! It was a struggle tho. That's why I was thinking the shorter ski may be best to stary with. Any comments are appreciated.
Managed to get to the dry slope twice but it's lockdown 2.0 here in the UK starting thursday. Doubt many of us will get the pleasure of skiing on snow next year! I always go a good 15cm shorter for dry slopes, too much friction otherwise ⛷🔥🔥🤣
Cool.. psst...Cool is having fun.! I am 175cm and 95 kilo. I have used longer than my height skis when i was younger and lighter. I liked the speed. Now over 50 and I like the shorter snappier skis for quicker turns. Long skis tend to dart around a lot for me. No control on groomers with long skis. I have noticed that skis darting around on groomers really punishes my knees.
So weird how all this changed. When i quit skiing in the 90s for a number of years most of us were skiing on big sidecut 200cm skiis for bumps, powder snd steeps. Some of my friends who liked cruising would get GS skis in the 210 range. Vert few people except beginners were skiing on anything less than 185s. I have skiied recently and have rented newer skis and tried shorter skis and hate how they turn.
Not too many skis for a 201cm tall 90kg powder rider that fit this formula. Think it would even be good for me to ride something that long? I know my fathers generation did and he wasn't even as tall as I am. Currently I use salomon rocker 2's at 192cm from around 2013. Love your channel also!
As a true intermediate all-mountain skier, I was going to eye ball the length. This video came online just when I needed. Proved me that I was going to buy the EXACT right size! 188 Bent Chetler 100 the dream babyyy
I got on skis yesterday for the first time in 25 years. By the third run I was going down greens without falling. I have an unlimited budget to spend on gear. I am roughly 188CM, 81.6kg, and I wear roughly a 26.5 boot. I’d like to get into all-mountain and park. The 178 rentals I was on yesterday seemed clunky. Any recommendations? Thank you so much in advance for your time.
Hi, so I have a bit of a problem. I am 189 cm tall and I have a quite normal weight. I have been skiing since I am little but just the normal slope and mostly on small slalom skis. Now I want to get into powder and park, if I do your method I get to 184 cm. I want to get the Bent Chetler 100 and it's only available in 180 or 188 so I am right in the middle (btw I have never skied park or powder) what should I buy?

What's the background music? Also great video love your channel.
Brilliant tutorial! Great content! I'm into 30 of your videos and I love them great work!
Awesome channel man! I’m going to ski Calabogie peaks in Canada this weekend.
I used to ski on 198s , those days are long gone.
At 2:50 the whole list of factors is visible on screen. Thanks for the tips!
Just the advice that I needed!
These formulas always have me in too short skis. 🤣 66 years old, 173 cm tall (so eye height maybe 160) , 70kg intermediate to lower advanced. I like a mix of short aggressive turns, wide sweeping turns at speed, a few moguls (missing from the video). All mountain skis so more GS and freerider type I guess, but more frontside than backside. So using your method maybe +4 or +6 (or around 165). I have demo'd a bunch of skis and that is just way t0o short for me. I'm a lot happier around 173-177. To each their own! Cheers!
Great Videos - Appreciate the guides and tutorials! Keep it up dude!
I HAVE to know what the skis on the wall are that appear to have a "mountain safety" guy running for his life? That's fantastic!

This makes me think i should try longer skis. Im 178/~102 kg, and i have 160 cm slalom skis.
Thank you for video , it really helps me to buying decisions 👋🏻
Please help me in choosing the right ski
I'm let's say intermediate to advanced skier and I want to buy a new pair of skis
I stopped at:
- Fischer RC4 The Curv Race TI + RSc10GW
- Rossignol Pursuit 700bTI + NX12K Dualb2018 M
- Elan GSX PRO PS + ELS 11 GRN
All from above are at the same price
I'm 1.80 cm and 82kg looking for 170cm ski.
I apreciate if you can help me choose.
i love your videos so much! Im about to purchase a 169 atomic
the large majority of skiers will have only one pair of skis, based on that I always suggest an all around ski, an all mountain type for the more adventurous skier, however I will suggest a slalom or giant slalom ski for those type of skiers that just like the groomers. I have over six pairs of skis and the one I choose will depend on the people I am skiing with that day, if they snowboard then I will snowboard and so on .... skiing is fun but it is a lot more fun when you go with friends
Love the channel. Thanks for all the helpful information.
I am 5"10" (178 cm) 165 Lbs (75 kg). I like the Atomic bend 100. probably wise to rent the 172 & 180 to see which is best for me. As well as the 110 & 120 under foot. Now just getting into powder, and black runs and loved it! It was a struggle tho. That's why I was thinking the shorter ski may be best to stary with. Any comments are appreciated.
Managed to get to the dry slope twice but it's lockdown 2.0 here in the UK starting thursday. Doubt many of us will get the pleasure of skiing on snow next year! I always go a good 15cm shorter for dry slopes, too much friction otherwise ⛷🔥🔥🤣
Interesting, I had no idea since I never tried a dry slope.
@@StompItTutorials If you have affordable access to snow i guess there is no point in trying it 🤣.
im at eyesight 174 and wanna get into freestyling should i get 177 or 170 im 5 11 average weight and intermediate
Hey!😀. Just wondering if you could make a tutorial on how to build a good kicker/jump? (Btw love your channel!)
Nice emoji! 😀
Cool.. psst...Cool is having fun.! I am 175cm and 95 kilo. I have used longer than my height skis when i was younger and lighter. I liked the speed. Now over 50 and I like the shorter snappier skis for quicker turns. Long skis tend to dart around a lot for me. No control on groomers with long skis. I have noticed that skis darting around on groomers really punishes my knees.
Love the channel! All very helpful information.
Great Guide! Thanks a lot
So weird how all this changed. When i quit skiing in the 90s for a number of years most of us were skiing on big sidecut 200cm skiis for bumps, powder snd steeps. Some of my friends who liked cruising would get GS skis in the 210 range. Vert few people except beginners were skiing on anything less than 185s. I have skiied recently and have rented newer skis and tried shorter skis and hate how they turn.
Thank you! Helps a lot. Love ur vids😜
Happy to help!
Please do a video on how to do that awesome tail drag
Its kind of in 5 easy tricks made cool. Learn ollie 180 and or shifty and you got.
Not too many skis for a 201cm tall 90kg powder rider that fit this formula. Think it would even be good for me to ride something that long? I know my fathers generation did and he wasn't even as tall as I am. Currently I use salomon rocker 2's at 192cm from around 2013. Love your channel also!
Thanks!
I still like my old school 1987 Hart Ultimate SL 205 cm. But at my age, I should go shorter? Never could get the hang of the new shaped skis.
Great tutorial. Thanks!
As a true intermediate all-mountain skier, I was going to eye ball the length. This video came online just when I needed. Proved me that I was going to buy the EXACT right size! 188 Bent Chetler 100 the dream babyyy
Sounds good :)
I got on skis yesterday for the first time in 25 years. By the third run I was going down greens without falling. I have an unlimited budget to spend on gear. I am roughly 188CM, 81.6kg, and I wear roughly a 26.5 boot. I’d like to get into all-mountain and park. The 178 rentals I was on yesterday seemed clunky.
Any recommendations? Thank you so much in advance for your time.
Hello, I'm 181cm , 72 kg. Medium skill. I want to buy a pair of Head Supershape e-magnum. Should I buy 163 cm or 170 cm. Thanks you very much
Thanks, this is something I've always wandered about 😁
Happy to help!
Great video thanks for the info👍
Any time!
I'm 190 cm, ended up with 240 cm skies. Super happy!
Hi, so I have a bit of a problem. I am 189 cm tall and I have a quite normal weight. I have been skiing since I am little but just the normal slope and mostly on small slalom skis. Now I want to get into powder and park, if I do your method I get to 184 cm. I want to get the Bent Chetler 100 and it's only available in 180 or 188 so I am right in the middle (btw I have never skied park or powder) what should I buy?
